I'm not worried about Hairston's offense, I understand that he's a chucker with bad shot selection, but he's a dangerous weapon to have, and valuable as a late 1st rounder. I know Hairston can shoot himself out of a bar fight, but I'm still waiting to see if he can defend himself in the court of trial

Agree with everything except the chucker/bad selection part. I think he does chuck at times ( maybe 1-2 a game ) but most of his jumpers are free enough for him to get a good shot off, which for him usually goes in. I would compare him to Ray Allen quicker than I would JR Smith. He wont shoot you out of 2 many games, but the problem arises when he cant shoot you INTO games.

I think more Michael Redd than Allen. His shot selection as a whole hasn't been that bad. His shot has not been falling but most of them have either come off screens or attacking the basket. None were shots he can't make easily.

Yeah, much better comparrison. His shots are usually off of a screen or wide open enough where he can make, and if you watch he RARELY forces the game, it seems as if he is quick to pass after a made basket. I think with some coaching from our fine staff he will improve his shot selection even more
