Man, and I remember Voshon Lenard...he was basically all the Nuggets had as far as three point shooting. Too bad he busted his back or whatever he did. It was funny when they got him from injury to play in the 3-Point contest that year
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (noballer07 @ Jun 26 2007, 09:29 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>His hustle and rebounding was the reason why he stayed in the league. Yeah, he played for so many different teams it isn't even funny but he made a living and was making the paper...but now he's found some offense to compliment his already valuable game. If he didn't find his shot he would still be playing.</div>He might be able to scrap off a 7 year career in the NBA or something like that, but I think he'd always be a scrub, and he'd never be an every game player.
I hate people that don't regard the value of role players...the guy is a hustle player and he's come up big for the Warriors by finding three point range...yet people still call him a scrub...

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Pacers fan forever @ Jun 26 2007, 08:13 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Damon Jones is a decent passer</div>Maybe in Miami, check his crappy stats when he 1st signed with Cleveland and his 1st season. Horrible. He got better this year, though. I guess you can say hes 'decent'. Wish he could hit wide-open shots like nothing though.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (JoshBosh @ Jun 26 2007, 08:11 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>How bout Matt Bonner? </div>Another player that wouldn't be in if he couldn't shoot.
Antoine Walker with the Heat has to be up there. With Boston, he was a pretty versatile player, in terms of his offense. He could score in many ways. But in Miami, he's just gotten lazy and takes way too many three pointers. Also, I don't think Jamal Crawford is making his NBA career just by shooting threes. Actually, his mid-range game is much better than his 3pt game, but the reason his field goal percentage is so low because he has the tendency to shoot low percentage shots. He's also very good at driving to the basket, he should definitely do it more.

If he didn't have his shot, he wouldnt be in the NBA.</div>The only reason Matt Barnes was a scrub was because he never got much playing time with any other team. You obviously haven't watched more than two Warriors games in your life because he has the ability to defend and drive. That was easily one of the most misguided comments I've seen...If it's anyone on the Warriors, it's Stephen Jackson. When he isn't having a good night he just starts throwing up 3's instead of driving. I'm not sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if he passed BD for most three pointers attempted in the season (on the Warriors) The best example I have is in the NBA and doing absolutely nothing, but in college it was the ONLY part of his game:J.J. Reddick

I have seen him drive, but I would not say that he is a good driver at all.It's just my opinion. Besides shooting 3's I do not see much to his game.Edit: That picture is hilarious. It's even funnier because the dude in the Redick jersey is looking back at the other guy's sign when the photo was taken

Korver is definitely one of these guys, but he's worked hard to diversify his game, and slowly it's coming around, although three-point shooting is the most effective weapon in his arsenal.
No, for Bruce it's his defense that is making him an NBA player and starter.If he didnt have his shot, he would be a really sad offensive player, but I think he might have made it. Although he did have to bust his ass just to make it with his shot and defense...So it's hard to say.
