Who we could expect to shoot threes?
1. Kobe - I don't expect him to shoot many threes. Okay three point shooter.
2. Nick - Very good three point shooter, but tends to be a subpar catch and shoot three point shooter.
3. Lin - good three point shooter, but again, it's not something that's his strength
4. Nash - probably the best three point shooter on the team, if he's healthy, and he won't be.
5. Xavier - not a good three pt shooter
6. Wes - bad shooter period
7. Clarkson - he can shoot from what we've seen early on, but will be even see the court?
So what do you think? Maybe this is a team that could benefit from shooting threes less to begin with....but does it have enough to get by? |
Wes shot 37% how is he a bad 3 pt shooter? |
Post-MDA inflation let's see what he shoots. Only in his rookie season, which was considered a bust, was he close to last year's percentage. |
That's interesting he has two decent 3pt shooting years out of his four years playing but you choose to go with he can't shoot 3s smh |
The point was that he's hardly established himself as a good shooter. Shake your head at that. |
Yeah, Wes is a 34.6% career 3pt shooter. That isn't very good. At the very least, he's shown some promise though when given shots.
In the two years he shot above 35%, he got over 270 attempts per season. In the two years he shot below 33%, he got no greater than 169 attempts per season.
He'll have to take a lot of 3s (around as many as MWP and Derek Fisher would take for this team) and I know some were frustrated by MWP's incessant 3pt shooting but he shot 35.5% that season. I don't think that is good, but apparently some folks in here do. |

You had no point. It's like all of your post anti laker post. I've never seen you say anything positive.

^ What's the point of just saying we'll be the best at everything all of the time though?
Just look at the numbers. Look at what is. Not what you want or don't want because those things are irrelevant to the question. The question wasn't "do you want them to be a good 3pt shooting team" it was asking if they will be.
All signs point to no, they won't be and they will likely be decidedly average at best and most likely slightly below average.
But that's ok. That's not going to be our bread and butter anyway IMO. We won't be a live by the 3 and die by the 3 kind of team. |

I defended Ryan Kelly while you were stupidly belittling him. I was pretty much all over Blake and Meeks' jock last season. I dunno, is that not positive? |

| Who cares about 3-point shooting....We do enough of that losing style last year and look where it got us. How about asking if we're going to be a good defensive team and win some ball games. |

Not a bad idea, but then that would be a different thread topic than this one, wouldn't it?  
.... so go for it... I'm sure there are those ready and willing to contribute to that topic... if posted that is....

Maybe you two should take a break from each other so no one has to just take a break...
