Not when you make them at a clip of 37% Higher percentage shots always win out in the long run


37% on 3s is 55.5% on 2s.

37% from 3 point range is good shooting. I couldn't tell why you were knocking it.

Its okay not great. I would prefer my big to do his damage in the post. Just me though I understand most Raptor fans live and die by the 3 ball and the 18 ft jumper

We do, that's why we stockpile them.
We cornered the market for Euro Jump shooting big man
Alexis Ajinca, Andrea Bargnani, used to have rasho (Rasho can shoot 4s).
We dont need Dirk because he's just a less mobile version of Andrea Bargnani

The dude can play. Now if he can play the way that is beneficial to this team as whole and if he has good drive, is the real question.

The opposing bigs will be so eager to grab boards that they will crash into each other and injure themselves.

I cut this add so it showed only what is important. 7ft, comfortable away from the basket, ability to drain 3's. What was left out was that he is considered a "new age big man in the mold of Dirk".

I'm ok with the Dirk comparison, since he's sorta the flavor of the month with his playoff run. But reality is Andrea is the mold they are referring to. A mold one thought was broken by the Roman Gods immediately after his birth. That obviously was not the case as they've blessed us with another beautiful creation in Donatas.

I think it might be dangerous to nature as a whole to combine 2 Bargnanis. Like the unstoppable force meeting the immovable object; who knows if mankind would survive.

It's all very well and good to talk about dynasties and records, but there is a world outside basketball to consider, too.

That's not the way the world works; if something is good, another of the same thing is good-er. Double cheeseburgers are better than your meager one-pattied fare. Dual exhaust is better than single exhaust. One-winged planes like the Fokker Eindecker gave way to two-winged biplanes like the Albatross D.II and Spad VII, which necessarily were surpassed soon after by the iconic three-winged triplanes...my knowledge of aircraft after mid-1917 is admittedly poor, but I would imagine that most planes today have ten or twelve wings, minimum. More is necessarily better, and anyone who tells you otherwise is just a Communist who doesn't want you to have nice things.
