Heard this during basketball game

I heard these sentences during a basketball game.
Could you tell me if these are natural a grammatical?

- He is filling expectations we had of him coming into the season.
- As long as he shoots /is shooting 7 percent from the field, they are going to give him this shots.
- This wasn't a night to bet on any of the favorites as they all lost.
- As good a scorer as he is he's an excellent point guard.

Thank you
