Wow, looking at the roster we could have 6 players (Lillard, Batum, Wes, Williams, Wright, and CJ) that could shoot about 35% or better from the 3??? Well 7 if you count Leonard!
Look at it this way: all starters and primary backups at the 1, 2 and 3 can stroke it. Very exciting. No excuse for LMA not to bang down low.
This team is going to look a lot like the 2010-11 Mavs... Lillard : Kidd Matthews : Stevenson Batum : Marion Aldridge : Dirk Lopez : Chandler Williams : Barea McCollum : Terry Wright : Peja Robinson : Haywood Leonard : Mahinmi Crabbe/Barton : Brewer Claver : Custodian Coincidence that Stotts was on that teams coaching staff? I think not.
I know that lol I'm just saying the team is built similarly. Marion and Batum are not like each other either. But it's not a bad comparison imo.
It's a terrible comparison, sorry. Dirk was the only All Star level scorer in that starting lineup. I dnt think Kidd even averaged 10 ppg. Lillard will average 18-22 ppg and make the All Star team along with LaMarcus.
