Osman continues to struggle with his shot.

Things didn’t go Osman’s way in Orlando. His costly turnover at the end of the game allowed the Magic to get back into the game, and eventually win. As was previously mentioned, Osman also went one-for-nine from three and really struggled to establish a rhythm. He’s now just three-for-17 on threes the last three games.

While he didn’t make anything from distance, he did a much better job of not forcing his shot. Hill did a very good job of initiating the offense and finding Osman open shots. Many of his looks came in good catch-and-shoot situations, but they didn’t fall.

Osman’s ceiling is largely dependent on how good of a three-point shooter he turns out to be. He has shown signs of being a good three-point shooter, but he isn’t there yet.
