Too many chuckers on one team. They would implode half way through.

They might make the playoffs in the East, but a team full of jumpshooters isn't going to win anything. I don't think that lineup would be very good defensively either.

I'm sorry but WHAT!?!

Arenas and Hughes have worked well together, as have Jamison. Dampier doesn't demand alot of shots, so unless you consider Jason Richardson a "Chucker" Your argument is baseless and really to be honest, completely false.

O and I'd love for you to defend how Arenas is a "Chucker"?

Its not hard to defend calling Arenas a chucker. He took well over 4 more shots per game than any other PG in the league last year. He is a good chucker, but a chucker nonetheless. And yes, Hughes/Arenas/Jamison worked taking 60 shots per game. But you add JRich to the mix, and it will never work.

Thats really inaccurate IMO.

Whenever someone calls a player a "chucker" it is NEVER in a good way.

You can say he shoots too much or is shoot first, but a chucker is a guy who takes ill advised shots (which Arenas does do sometimes) and have abysmal shooting %'s across the board(which Arenas DOESN'T)

Shoot first? Most definitely
Chucker? Hardly.

Gilbert's a good player, and he's one of the best scorers in the NBA regardless..when he's in a zone, he's unstoppable..but it isn't a stretch to call him a chucker..

last year..amount of games he shot that %

1-10%: 1
11-20%: 5
21-30% 10
31-40%: 14

3-pointers
31-34%: 8
21-30%:11
11-20%: 12 (20%, 15 attempts..20%, 10 attempts)
1-10%: once, where he took 11 attempts
0%: 6(0-7)(0-8)(0-8)(0-5)(0-3)(0-7)

Troy Murphy 6th man.

The Warriors had the worst record in the league in 2002, but got the 3rd pick. They picked Mike Dunleavy Jr. whereas if they had the first pick in the draft they probably would have chose Yao Ming.

PG: Gilbert Arenas
SG: Jason Richardson
SF: Antawn Jamison
PF: Troy Murphy
C: Yao Ming

6th Man: Larry Hughes

That team has awful defense, so 1st round exit. When you're that imbalanced, regardless of talent, you can't make it anywhere.

That team doesn't exactly impress me. 1st round exit in the West, maybe 2nd round exit in the East.
