I actually have more confidence in Claver shooting the ball than Wright at this point. Claver just hasn't gotten the minutes and doesn't shoot much. He's a solid contributor though, like Freeland.
However, it's not how Wright actually shoots the ball, it's how Houston thinks Wright shoots the ball. He has a long track record of burning people from three and that respect pulls out a big man.
What's the deal with Wright anyhow? He's been such a deadly shooter throughout his career and the minute he becomes a Blazer, he can't hit the ocean with a tennis ball. It seriously baffles me!
Thank you, that was my whole point. But I suppose if say DHo left Claver wide open and burned him with a Three, that would be great. But would Damian have the poise to reflect on it in time and kick it out past DHo? Having DHo never cheat is much safer for us.
Yes, that's true. But aside from playing decoy on a single (albeit BIG) play, Wright was crap. So, if all you need is a decoy play Wright. But for all the other minutes play Barton or Claver.
I probably would have too, Claver may be the best defender off the bench. Still Wright had some hustle plays that turned into runs last night and without scoring he did some good things. He missed both his shots but not long ago he hit a game winner in clutch time. I think he gets trashed too often and is actually a good bench player.
