    I was watching Gametime last night and Chris Webber made the comment "Outside of Lebron James, Derrick Rose is the best off-hand finisher." I immediately thought of Brandon Roy, then Steve Nash and got to wondering about it. I know I don't see other players near as much as Roy play, but Roy has to be top 3 doesn't he? It'd be interesting to find a percentage of shots finished with the off-hand. He'd have to be up there.

    I was watching the same thing Bob. I think Roy has the best off-hand in the league. He's actually more comfortable finishing with his left than with his right which is unusual. I'm sure Webber just doesn't see Roy as much as LeBron or Rose.

    I agree though... Roy is up there and yes he does finish better with left.

    Bogut is up there.

    He finishes more with his left than his right.

    If he didn't shoot free throws right handed, you'd think he was left handed.
