outlaw. Aldridge is solid for a big man, but Outlaw can create his own, and I think he hits it better.

I'd probably rather have Outlaw taking that shot than Aldridge. I hate when Aldridge settles for long jumpers. I still get a little nervous when he shoots that shot but he seems to make it with a decent amount of consistency.

I still cringe because he usually has two guys right in his face and he's fading and leaning. Luckily he still makes them. Go figure.

LA's jumper is pretty limited, if you watch if his feet are not set his shot never goes in. Outlaw has clearly put in some time and keeping the upper half of his body square to the hoop regardless of his feet.

Wide open I think I'd still take Aldridge. With a building in his face and a ring of fire between him and the basket I'd probably pick Outlaw.

I can settle this argument because I just looked it up. LMA costs $4,329,360 while Outlaw's is only $4 million. So, LMA's jumper is more money.

Lol, d-train....

I like Outlaw's jumper more, but that could be the fact that I want Aldridge in the post and not making half his shot jumpers.

Right now Outlaw. Did anyone hear Rice during the GS game? TO just knocked down an 18 footer and Rice said: "You want Travis taking that shot. A few years ago people in the front rows would cover their heads for protection when he took that shot."

Isnt that the truth, Ruth!!

You put five 7 footers all on stilts infront
of Travis and he would prob hit the shot.

Choice C: Channing Frye.

Spot up shot he's better. Ever notice how when Travis is open, he still has to make it tougher on himself by dribbling once and fading to the side?

I would put Frye above Aldridge but below Outlaw. And I do think it is hilarious how Outlaw cant just take the easy shot, he has to do something crazy, but usually ends up knocking it down anyhow.

The answer is easy because I don't think most of us want Aldridge doing face-up jumpers at all.

Outlaw by far. He doesn't rely on Roy's passes for success.... I think LA will get better at creating his own shot but I definitely prefer Outlaw's shooting abilities at least at this pt in time.
