Also, it's pretty clear from your post that you don't think the team needs people that can stretch the floor. With two penetrating pgs, if we went with strictly traditional low post big guys without that ability, it would likely kill our ball movement and offense, and the guards couldn't penetrate with two bigs in the middle at all times.
This is one reason I like Adreian Payne...he can play like Monroe like you want, but can also step out and hit the three.
Yea but Deroit needs a backup C which they don't have. Plus they can develop Len and then trade him as an asset for something else they want. Or they can run a Len-Drummond lineup once Len expands his range a little...Coro actually mentioned this at the beginning of the season as a possibility with Len and Plumlee if Len can expand his range.
Gibson can hit jump shot. I hate this theory that we have to have shooters all over the place. So I guess if we had the chance to get LMA, or KG, Amare or Duncan in their primes, we would turn it down since they aren't 3pt chuckers right?
As long as they can jump a long jumper at a pretty high level, we will be fine. They don't all have to be 3pt chuckers like Frye.
And both our guards aren't penetrating at the same time. One of them is cause they are playing with only one ball. When Bledsoe is penetrating he can kick it to Dragic if Goran is open and Dragic is well capable of knocking down that open 3. Bledsoe is improving in this regard too.
I don't know anything about Payne but I will look into him either later tonight or sometime tomorrow. Watching Netflix now and I'm just posting while its buffering. But if anything, I I think I may have developed a hatred for 3pt chucking big men after this season. I do not want another one to join Kieff and Frye.
And I appreciate your response. Don't think for a second that I'm attacking you cause I'm not. I'm just tired of hearing from various posters that "we need to have 3pt chuckers all over the floor at every possible position". We can play like a traditional team if we just have a guy that can knock down a jumper. Will it stretch the floor a little less? Yes but he can also be a guy that we can dump the ball to and that can go score for us when this JUMP SHOOTING team is having a cold day like it has the past couple of games.
