Dom McGuire - pet project or great role player?

[Walt Cronkite]

Here's my most amazing stat from 2009-10: Dominic McGuire played 307 minutes without making a single foul shot. He earned only seven trips to the line, and shanked all seven, further cementing his rep as one of the league's least threatening offensive players.

Cemented further with this season. Jeff Caple is still working for his money though, guy's 15-19 from the stripe so far.

I just don't understand how a PROFESSIONAL basketball player can't make a jumper. I mean, that's just, beyond me. NBA player, not able to hit a jumper?


I can go out and hit it from 30ft on a consistent basis and I'm not a professional. How is it possible to be that horrible?

Yeah, Shaq is such a loser.

Shaq is a Center, he isn't supposed to play outside the paint. WTF, on the other hand, plays SHOOTING guard.


I'll repeat, SHOOTING.

Well, it's not like Shaq even goes anywhere near the perimeter and practices jumpshots in practice or in his spare time. Like has been said, there are plenty of players in the d league who bring the same assets Mc does, we just happen to have a coach who gets erections seeing them play for 40 minutes.

For a 70 years old guy you needs a lots of perversion to get an erection. So from that point of view, starting MCGuire and Carroll is not so shocking.
