Both scoring down low and stepping out for a jumper is very hard for many big men.
The coaching staff was trying to develop both with Steve. They working on his inside moves and a 3 point shot. Privately, Archie told an audience that Steve would shoot 3s in a game before his career was over. Sad that prediction was unable to be made.
