Play Datome! its not like the defense could get any worse, give this guy a chance at backup SF(15-20 min a game) for some games - starting SF should be Singler.

Drummond/Moose
Moose/Smith
Singler/Datome
KCP/Stuckey
Jennings/Bynum

Singler had a rough start to the year, but he's shooting better now.
I think Datome need to be given consistent minutes and he'll eventually find his rhythm. He hasnt been given a proper chance yet.

KCP/Singler are better overall shooters than their percentages would indicate. Both got off to really slow starts.

You mean career 33% three point shooting Trevor Ariza?

I'm incredibly skeptical of his 39% this year.

Which is solid, yeah, and maybe he has developed a three point shot. But that's why I said I'm skeptical, and not saying that it's impossible.

Eye-opening stats from OP, but I still think Singler is a good 3pt shooter and Datome (not saying he should be in the rotation) and KCP (in the end, I think he will.) Jennings??? Maybe he will have some above average 3pt years for us.

But good job, because I expected to come in here and see more "Singler doesn't exist and even if he did, he wouldn't help us" like I'm getting used to on the boards.

Well yeah, I've been saying it since like August....we don't have shooters! And probably the best pure shooter on the team can't even crack the rotation and the second is old. This roster just isn't set up to do much right now, we HAVE to get shooters. I honestly thought a move would have been made by now, it's kind of worrying me that nothing has be done. Is Dumars just being patient? Is he quietly being active, sort of like last season? Or is he going along with this whole wait it out, we're fine bullcrap we've all gotten so used to?

None of those six guys mentioned by the OP would even be a top 5 shooter on the best teams in the league.
