Ok Myrak, some things you are right on and some your are far off on. Saying Jamal is the next most dangerous player is out the question. Josh Smith when in the paint is the next best and could be THE most dangerous if you factor in his entire game all around. Defense,Taking over in the painted area, some what improving jump shot, excellent in transition.
Marvin may not be a 2 guard, which I agree, but he can guard D Wade or Kobe or at least slow them down a bit. Marvin is the best wing defender we have.

Geaux, I feel all our players could be dangerous, but for what ever reason they choose to settle for jump shots. Joe and JC are the only ones that can make an open shot more times than not. unless it is 15 feet then Horford is dangerous. but he doesn't create space or get himself open he has to receive a pass when he is already open, Joe doens't and neither does Jamal. that is why they are the most dangerous two this team.

Against smaller bigs he can get off a hook shot. Against bigs like Garnett or Gasol you can use cross screens, and pick and pops to create movement.
And the reason our bigs settle for jump shots because their undersized/overpowered on the block. Smith is not a physical big. And Horf is a shade shy of 6'10. We keep saying we need a competent center. All these 2nd round sleeper centers who can play are frustrating for Hawks, Dejuan Blair, Omer Asik, Semih Irden, Mosgov was undrafted I believe.
