He was drafted to be a 3 and D guy right? True shooting percentage is actually making him look slightly better. Or would be if he were an especially potent 3 point shooter.
Was Bruce Bowen a good 3 and D guy? He was in the league 6 years before posting a ts% above 50. Is Huestis going to be Bowen? Unlikely, but it was unlikely that Jackson became Westbrook light, ibaka became the best 3 and D player imaginable, Westbrook became a top three pg, etc. Huestis has been told 'learn to shoot three's and keep playing D' and that's what he is trying to do.
did you watch him? is he exceptional at D?
i think Roberson was the weak link when the team as at full health and that they should get someone more average on offense. Huestis looks like downgrade from Roberson. He could take 15th spot, but I don't expect anything from him.
