Just about sums it up for the team. We're still in the pack, but we're still struggling on offense as we rank 29h in 3% shooting. Hint: Add a shooter(s) to the squad.

Well we traded Ellington, our best 3 point shooter, so there goes improving that stat :lol:

Is anyone else besides me interested in drafting Doug McDermott in the 2013 draft? Defensively, he's going to be a big liability though.

I wanted to compare Chris Johnson's stats with Wayne Ellington but since he doesn't even have an NBA.com player page ... I got no argument. :oops:

wait here it is:

Johnson 46% from downtown on the year.
Ellington 43%.

When you factor in volume, that's where the problem is.

yeah but you can tell he is a good shooter. He's walking right into big minutes and knocking them down. Lord knows he's probably putting a lot of pressure on himself so that he can get another contract and stay out of the d-league. It's not easy to hit shots under pressure (although his have been pretty open).

He was shooting better than 40% in the d-league anyway I think. And he likely was getting the ball a lot more and asked to create.

While I like the fact that he can shoot, it sure seems like he doesn't handle the ball that well. But at the absolute rookie minimum, i'll take it.
