I would probably let him keep it. Marion had an elite three point shooting season, as ridiculous as this may sound. Something like 39% on more than 200 makes, I think. Nope, looked it up, just 140 makes on 39%, and overall he was an inconsistent shooter. Well, flipper. Problem is, Marion's release was actually quick, whereas Ball's is not only low, but seems to be slow as well. That's a recipe for disaster, though the funny thing is, he makes them at an amazing clip right now. I don't know, the sample size is just too small, I would make him shoot threes during the workout almost exlusively. Shoot it from movement, set shots, put defenders on him, show me everything. If he can impress, you draft him if you think he is the best player otherwise.
