Landry is somewhat of a ball stopper himself but he's playing with the mother of all ball stopper in Tyreke Evans. Not surprised that he's struggling since he's playing with so many young players who just want to chuck the ball up at the first opportunity.
With the Rockets, landry was the team's #1 option. Guys were HAPPY to get him the ball and let him isolate on every possession.
Chuck Hayes didn't want anything to do with the ball on offense. Battier didn't want to shoot. Lowry didn't want to shoot. Budinger will only shoot open shots and Scola doesn't care about his numbers as long as the team win.
Brooks was the only chucker on the team but him and landry were best friends. Brooks look for Landry every time in the post.
Landry's only discernible skill is scoring. He looks completely lost when he's getting ignored on offense.
If Landry needs to be the number 1 option, he's not gonna have a very successful career.
He had a career 60% TS% before he was traded to the Kings. If not first option material, thats definitely good enough to be a 2nd option. I'm sure by now you realize that Landry
a)doesn't rebound
b)doesn't defend
c)doesn't pass
if he's not getting the ball and scoring a healthy amount of time, you may as well sign Chris Webber out of retirement.
