“We know that we’re trying to win games and we know we’ve got to make shots to do that, but we also know we’re developing these young players,” he explained. “So whether he’s making or missing shots, we need him taking the right ones.
“And when he’s open, I want him shooting those with confidence because I have all the belief in him that he’s going to be a very consistent three-point shooter as his career goes on.”
As for Zo’s scoring inside the arc, Walton cited the point guard’s 6-foot-6 frame as an important asset for his eventual improvement therein.
“I think his size will become more of an advantage for him offensively as he learns to finish around the rim at this league,” he said. “He’s got such a good feel for the game that he’ll be able to get to those angles and use his size and his length to really create problems for other teams’ defenses, and especially the way he can see the floor. He’s going to keep defenses honest, and being able to finish down there is going to be big for him as he grows in this league.”
