I wholeheartedly disagree with that. See below.getrichordie wrote:They need to get a feel for each other sooner rather than later. You need to be able to have your best 5 players on the court at any given time.
The 2 and 4 should be up for grabs based on the matchup. Neither of the players available is good enough to get any sort of guarantee.getrichordie wrote:I think as long as Schroder can hit 3s on the catch at 36% and Grant can hit his at 36%, we will be fine versus stiffer comp.
And what are the odds of that? Before the last two games Schröder was shooting 31.3 % on catch and shoot 3s. The last two games - going 4/4 - have pushed him to his current %. And with Grant is still very unlikely that he continues his current shooting with the starters. Both of them could easily go back to being slightly above or below 30 %. History is not on their side.
schroeder always has been a streaky 3 point shooter. he came from germany shooting 51% from 3 in his short stint playing pro. in atl he had months where he shot well over 40%.
thing is, he has consistently been a beast come playoff time. something okc should look forward to. if he can get his streak going then...
