Pretty much is a term for lock down defenders who are 3 point specialist from what I get out of the term.

Well back in my day 3D was known as Dennis Scott. I don't know what you kids are calling it nowadays.

It's the guys who find a way to stay in the league by having 2 skills that every team needs. Think about Bruce Bowen. Couldn't stay in the league as a hustle guy who could defend, but once he added the corner 3 to his arsenal, he was a valuable team member.

role player

Post #16 » by **Def Swami** » Wed Mar 12, 2014 6:11 am

No mention of Shane Battier yet?!

One of my favorite reads on the modern-day 3 and D's:

If I were running an NBA team — ha! — I’d be scouring the world for role players who can do all of the following three things:

• Defend shooting guards.

• Defend small forwards.

• Shoot 3-pointers proficiently.

This is the perfect role player, a sort of New Age Shane Battier. (The old-age Shane Battier actually fits the bill, for the most part.) I’d strongly consider using my second-round “flier” draft pick on someone who might someday fit this description, even over a droolworthy project big man.1 There has long been the notion that wing shooters, or even “3-and-D” guys, are easy to find — that they’re just sort of laying around, waiting for the Spurs to discover the next Bruce Bowen or Danny Green (another candidate). But in talking with GMs and personnel types at all levels, there is something close to broad agreement that players who have checked off all three boxes are relatively rare, that their development is unpredictable, and that the ones who have proven themselves probably don’t earn enough money. “They are very, very hard to find,” says Bob Myers, the Warriors’ GM. “And they are probably undervalued.”

You sound a little too disappointed about that.
