the pure catch-and-shoot specialist who stretched defenses with volume 3s
Hooper stood out at Oakland as a rare one-dimensional weapon in the best sense: a high-volume perimeter shooter who, in his Oakland season, attempted every field goal from 3-point range and made 45.1% of them, a mark that made him one of the nation’s most efficient deep threats.[1][4] Scouting language from Oakland and St. John’s described him as a “long-range assassin,” which is the key fit question for any team: if you want a spacer who forces defenses to extend, he adds real value; if you need creation off the dribble or all-around production, his game is much narrower.[7][9]
