Whomever we get, he better be able to shoot 

Post#1 » by Cyclical » Tue Feb 9, 2010 11:09 am

Whether Ray is involved in a trade (which I highly doubt) or Scal+filler for a strong bench guy (I think highly likely), the player we get better be a good shooter.

Right now there's not a single reliable shooter on our bench. Driving to the basket is not a problem.

TA and Marquis are sub-par shooters outside the paint.
House and Rasheed are not dependable. At best.
Hudson? Oh wait, he's gone.

Besides Martin, which I don't see as a strong possibility, who's available right now that can actually shoot, dependably, from beyond 12 feet? (And please don't say Iggy.)

Say we keep Ray, who is out there who fits the bill using our expirings? Is there anything better than Hinrich and Salmons/Thomas?

Does Kapono even get on the court these days? I am struggling to think of someone we would actually be able to get who can shoot reliably.
