    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (hoopskidd5 @ Jun 14 2006, 05:20 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>below are Brad Miller's shot selection numbers courtesy of 82games.com[​IMG] below are Nenad Krstic's shot selection numbers courtesy of 82games.com[​IMG]These items prove two things upon examination.1) Nenad Krstic goes inside more than Brad Miller (53% as opposed to 25%) 1a. Nenad Krstic is a good finished inside (.541 fg%)2) Nenad Krstic is as good of a shooter from the outside as Brad Miller (.472 for Nenad, .475 for Miller)Since more than half of his scoring comes from the interior, he must posess a post game of some sort, right? Also, now that you know that he shoots the same percentage as Miller from the outside, do you still consider him a worse shooter?Now, I said that Brad Miller is a better player right now, but do you still think he is better by a mile? I said Miller is a better rebounder (yet 7.8 rpg for Miller, 6.4 for Krstic) as well as a better defender (yet they both average .8 bpg). Both players shoot a nice percentage from the field overall (Krstic 51%, Miller 49%) and both put up respectable scoring numbers (Nenad 13.5, Miller 15)..Keep in mind Krstic is the third option offensively on his team behind two 20ppg scorers and is only 22 years old in his second season in the NBA.Oh yeah, just for fun, here are their numbers for the playoffs this season:Nenad: 18ppg, 7.2rpgMiller: 9.2ppg, 3rpg</div>Discussion over.

    he's a worse outside shooter bc he doesn't have as much range. Miller's range goes all the way out to the 3-pt. line, as Krstic's is mid range. I never said Miller's post game was better, i just think you overrate Krstic's post-up abilities. He also has one of the best pg's ever dishing him the ball.
