New offseason video shows Carson Cooper's continued improvement in three-point shot
Early this summer, fans began to speculate about Carson Cooper working to develop a three-point shot thanks to a social media post of the Spartans practicing. That speculation and fan interest has only grown after some of the most recent Moneyball Pro-Am games where Cooper has shown off a nice looking shot from deep.
Thanks to Spartans Illustrated, a highlight video of Cooper and starting point guard Jeremy Fears Jr. has hit the social media timelines. In this video, we can see Cooper knocking down some threes -- which has not remotely been part of his game up to this point in his Michigan State career. At least during games, that is.
Check out the clip of Cooper drilling some deep shots below:
As we do with any Moneyball Pro-Am content, I will remind you that we can't put too much emphasis on what we get out of these exhibition games. In the past, that has burned us when we raised the bar too high on guys like Pierre Brooks III and Lourawls "Tum Tum" Nairn Jr. But, with that being said, Cooper's shot looks pretty nice from the video clip seen above, so... maybe this is actually something we should be monitoring for this fall.
Cooper has only taken one three-point shot attempt in a game since coming to Michigan State -- which was a miss. So I'm not going to act like this is the beginning of a sharp shooting big man for the Spartans. But let's just file this away as further evidence of potentially a new part of Cooper's game coming our way this season. And, should it actually turn into something we consistently see, then that would go a long way for Cooper and the Spartans this year.

Bears HC Ben Johnson explains how Luther Burden III is already behind
Chicago Bears wide receiver Luther Burden III is back on the practice field after missing most of the offseason program and the first four practices of training camp with a lingering hamstring injury. But the second-round rookie is already facing some adversity. Ahead of Tuesday's practice, head coach Ben Johnson discussed how the time that Burden missed with on-field reps after missing OTAs, minicamp and the beginning of training camp has impacted him. "It shows up already," Johnson said before Tuesday's practice. "I mean, we were in the walk-through yesterday afternoon and the misalignments – we have to re-huddle, we have to start it all over again. He's a little bit behind right now." That was evident on Tuesday, where Burden participated in team drills for the first time. Burden had some mental mistakes, including two different line of scrimmage penalties (according to Greg Braggs). One of those prompted Johnson to pull Burden out of a drill after he had trouble lining up in the right spot. If you recall, Johnson did something similar with the starting offense on Day 1 of training camp. Meanwhile, the starting offense has cleared things up just five practices later. It just goes to show that Burden is already behind the rest of the offense after missing those valuable on-field reps.
