His career high aside from those tiny little injured spurts (the one in CHI and the one in IND, 27 and 7 games respectively) is .358 and his career average (including those spurts, as well as a bad spurt) is .324 from downtown. He's .347 so far this season. That's okay for a SF but not too hot for a SG in my books, especially if the attention-drawing factor of AI/Melo is to be used to its fullest extent. Not saying he wouldn't be good there, he'd be good anywhere by virtue of his defence alone, but imo Denver's main target should be a shooter.
Keep in mind that not a whole lot of those are catch-and-shoot opportunities. They are often times when Ron is asked to create, and is either better off shooting or is forced to due to the shotclock running out.
