Can you name 10 NBA 3 pointers who are better than Duncan Robinson?

Because if not, it's looking like NYKMENTALITY85 wants himself a Top 10 NBA 3 pointer on his Knicks...

You should be a fun one. Because you seem to have big opinions.

I remember you making fun of Duncan Robinson as "Steve Novak Jr."

But I bet you can't name 10 NBA players with a better 3toheadDuncan 3 point shot than my #1 FAVORITE Duncan Robinson...

LOL Actually now I'm curious, with this top 10 request, who has actually said Duncan Robinson is not a good 3PT shooter? Statistics are stats. He is an excellent 3PT shooter.

This might just be another example of poor reading comprehension and overexcitement to punch keys, bold font, and post data out of context.

Ok so you're admitting Duncan Robinson is an amazing and an elite top 10 (top 3) NBA 3 point shooter, right?

Thnx you.

Because our Knicks ranked #1 in Defense but only 21st in 3 pointers made.

Which is why I'm praying to the basketball Gods he becomes a KNICK while filling a serious position of weakness @ SF.

And no. Dozens of people have acted like Duncan Robinson is a piece of crap basketball player but yet can't seem to make themselves a list of their favorite 3 point shooters.

I've got guys like "NoDope Saturdays" who's telling me Doug freaking McDermott a bench player is better than Duncan Robinson while he's posting statistics of small 4 game sample sizes vs Milwaukee as a way of showing me just how bad Robinson stinks.

And na. He's not the only one either.

LOL "so I'm admitting"? Bro, you use the wildest language. It's a fact that he's an excellent 3PT shooter (he's actually top 4). There's nothing to "admit" about that. It just is... you really need to calm down.

https://www.basketball-reference.com/leaders/fg3_pct_active.html

Doug McDermott is statistically an excellent 3PT shooter as well (he's 10th on that list). I think the point is about how much you'd have to pay for both players, that's all. By saying you'd rather pay Doug McDermott X than pay Duncan Robinson X + Y does not mean Duncan Robinson is inferior. It's just a different approach to trying to solve the same problem. That's it.

Try not being so combative. I'm sure you'd have better conversations that way.

First of all, I'd like to point out for the record that NYK Mentality has repeatedly told me to leave him alone, yet here he is quoting a post I made days ago

Second of all, why are you asking me to name better shooters when I've never questioned his shooting ability, and the post you quote me on is two words, "he" and "shoot"

What did you think I meant by that?

Can we PLEASE bring back Greenie in exchange for NYK-Mentalheadcase.

Every time I read one of his long winded essays that he copies and paste from basketball reference I feel like I need equal parts Ambien Vallium and Xanax.

Shoot.



see, my dude. this is actually a thread worth making. make "your top 10 list of 3PT shooters heading into the next season," thread.

you just insist on making threads that have already been made a day or two earlier, or is already stickied.


you'd be a lot less despised here if you made fun threads like this.

He's a role player.

I'd rather give Fournier or Powell a 4 year deal because atleast those guys have proven they can be multifaceted and have shouldered playing 36mpg.

Duncan is a nice player but I'd be weary of paying a guy whose gonna be 27 and his most ppg on a winning team was 13.5. Yeah, that's a hard pass for me next to Fournier and Powell. How much more is DR going to improve? Even a guy like Khris Middleton who we all accept as a late bloomer had already put up 18ppg before he was 27.

I think his best fit is being a 4th or 5th best player on a championship team. that means its a hard pass for me on giving him a 4 year deal at higher than 10m AAV. If he wants to come here for 4/40 I'd do that in a heartbeat, but hes probably gonna get overpaid to be just a spot up 3 guy that has better than avg defense.

Agreed and with McDermott you get aliyyle athleticism as well. Nothing crazy he can create but he'll cut to the rim when there nothing at the 3pt line. I just worry about the price is all for Duncan. We could always use a shooter like him but I'm talking about a series of role players I can pay like 6mil to. If not, the draft has some guys. But you gotta put a price on certain skillsets and I'm not trying to break budget for guys who in effect do one thing and these days the load is split between 4 guys. This isn't 2000 where you got one dude and that's his job.

Even though Fournier and Powell are 27 years old and don't exactly fit the timeline of the YOUNGER Knicks, like RJ, IQ, Mitch, Obi? - they do fit the timeline of Randle, where the Knicks could sign one (after getting a PG) and look to go on a 3 or 4 year run tied to Randle's prime, then not resign any of them and reboot under a RJ/IQ/Mitch/picks nucleus.
If done right, they could get another 4 or 5 year playoff run in - obviously contingent on drafting well even in the 20s, plus what FAs might be available 4 years from now.

On the other hand, I get that people are looking for a much bigger time player than either Powell or Fournier, but those are two really good, well rounded players who score from all over the court, shoot well and can pass some, especially Fournier.

I can get why people might consider it a 6th seed treadmill though.

Still:

Sexton/Rose
RJ/IQ
Fournier/Vildoza or Durate
Randle/? (or Obi if not put into Sexton trade)
Mitch/Olynyk (my choice for backup)
Pinson/Bullock/Duarte

Not a bad team. I guess not a great one either.

Duncan is a nice player but I'd be weary of paying a guy whose gonna be 27 and his most ppg on a winning team was 13.5. Yeah, that's a hard pass for me next to Fournier and Powell. How much more is DR going to improve? Even a guy like Khris Middleton who we all accept as a late bloomer had already put up 18ppg before he was 27.

I think his best fit is being a 4th or 5th best player on a championship team. that means its a hard pass for me on giving him a 4 year deal at higher than 10m AAV. If he wants to come here for 4/40 I'd do that in a heartbeat, but hes probably gonna get overpaid to be just a spot up 3 guy that has better than avg defense.


Even though Fournier and Powell are 27 years old and don't exactly fit the timeline of the YOUNGER Knicks, like RJ, IQ, Mitch, Obi? - they do fit the timeline of Randle, where the Knicks could sign one (after getting a PG) and look to go on a 3 or 4 year run tied to Randle's prime, then not resign any of them and reboot under a RJ/IQ/Mitch/picks nucleus.
If done right, they could get another 4 or 5 year playoff run in - obviously contingent on drafting well even in the 20s, plus what FAs might be available 4 years from now.

On the other hand, I get that people are looking for a much bigger time player than either Powell or Fournier, but those are two really good, well rounded players who score from all over the court, shoot well and can pass some, especially Fournier.

I can get why people might consider it a 6th seed treadmill though.

Still:

Sexton/Rose
RJ/IQ
Fournier/Vildoza or Durate
Randle/? (or Obi if not put into Sexton trade)
Mitch/Olynyk (my choice for backup)
Pinson/Bullock/Duarte

Not a bad team. I guess not a great one either.


I have no problem giving a 4 year contract to Powell or Fournier because those 4 years you will get prime production out of them and they are winning players because they do more than scoring efficiently. So to me it doesnt mean much that they are already 27. My point was rather DR hasn't already showed that he can be a #2 or #3 on a winning team whereas there are guys that will also command 4 year deals that already have. Fournier has skills that basically means he can play next to almost anyone given how he has shown the ability to avg 4 asts and hit 37%+ at 3pt as a SG/SF. Powell's defense is well noted and he can play both SG/SF positions

It's more of an argument that if we're handing out 4 year deals, you're much more likely to get fair return on production for Powell and Fournier than DR.

If DR is just a 3pt line camper and avg defender, how is he any different than what Bullock filled? DR would have more ability to dribble drive and create plays down the lane, but am I really gonna give DR a 4 year contract when I can give Bullock a 1 or 2 year deal?
