Big 3 in 3 Years - Best Last Second Shot 

Post#1 » by NuggetsWY » Fri Jun 1, 2018 8:28 pm

Jokic - Harris - Murray

In three years, which of these is mostly likely to take the last second shot when the team is down by three and needs a three just to tie (in a game 7 situation)?

They all three seem willing to take big shots, but (being a very prejudiced pro-Murray guy) which one is most likely to get his shot off? I'm really believing it will be Murray - or at least the obvious give the ball to Murray and if he can't get his shot, he can get the ball to either of the others.

Do you agree? Or do you think one of the current bench players has that potential?

I think Murray is the answer right now, but Harris has made huge strides every year. I wouldn’t put it past him to develop into that guy.

It will take near miracle for Murray or Garris to get to Jokic's level.

Future success of this team depends on two of them getting better but chance they get to that level are remote.

Who takes the shot? I'd let Jokic decide, just make sure he has the ball in his hands and he will make right decision 9 times out of 10.

I won't object - ever - to Jokic having the ball in his hands. My favorite play is Jokic around the key with four players cutting and slashing and running the baseline. As an added bonus, if Jokic's defender gives him just a little space, he's quite adept at hitting a shot from almost anywhere.

With that said, and considering Jokic's personality, I'd still suggest Murray or Harris gets the shot. On the other hand, no doubt we'd all be happy with any one of these three taking the shot. :nod:
