Monroe attempted more inside shots last year than any big other than Dwight Howard, and it looks like he’s continuing that trend this year. I agree he needs to get better at shooting jumpers. If he could consistently make that 15-foot bank shot that Tim Duncan has, his effectiveness would increase a lot.

When he starts hitting that 15 footer regularly he’ll start making all star games- deservedly

he needs to start taking and making that 15 foot jumper without hesitation.
teams are daring him to take it.
they are giving him the shot and laying back for his drive. it sets up an extremely awkward situation, often, where he is faking…faking…faking…doing anything to try to get the defender to guard him, rather than just taking that open shot.
weird, cause it seemed as though he was starting to take and make the shot last year.
i’ve thought that he has been passing it up and driving as a way to get to the free throw line.
whatever…he will start scoring 20+ per game once he starts taking that open shot. it will open up everything – his drive, his passing, everything – once defenses start playing him honestly.
it’ll even keep him from getting his shot blocked so much, as defenders won’t be able to cheat and play him for the drive only.
