    I do not cringe when he takes a swish3.

    We still would need another one either way. Connaughton is replaceable in the rotation. Imagine a scorer like Hutchison coming off the bench.

    Hark has gone from 16% on threes in December, to 48% in Feb....to 60% so far in March.......

    I would be very happy with just 40%. And with his stroke...... I think he can be consistent.

    Mo is relaxed and confident shooting those threes. And I'm excited and confident when he's shooting them. Sure we'd all like Paul George. But Paul George isn't coming through that door. Mo is showing we might be just fine regardless.

    If he could just tap into his potential and play with this kind of consistency.... shit, I am ALREADY getting my hopes up!

    Definitely; he’s shooting 41.4% from swish3
    (57.7% since the ASG)

    Pat Con does way too much. You don't replace that.

    Patty C is replaceable but honestly any replacement would cost more for the same talent, and not be as much fun to watch... so why bother?

    A rookie could replace him.

    You're trippin, Patty is great. Good solid backup at the 2 for CHEAP.

    Getting Collins to develop will make a huge difference for this team.

    I would love to see him develop a turn around 10 - 15 footer instead of just a 3 point shot.

    Maybe next year when he gets some more strength....... and workouts with our big man coach.

    What’s your definition of good and solid, because a guy averaging 5 points a game with average shooting percentages (considering the shots he takes,) a PER in single digits, and a defensive rating of 110, isn’t mine. Good thing the coaching staff seemingly agrees since his role has gradually been marginalized.

    And he won’t be on a rookie scale contract after this season, so you can’t even say cheap. He’s completely replaceable.

    A first round rookie would still be more expensive though (for example, Zach Collins's salary *this year* is more than Patty C's entire career earnings including this year).

    TANGENT ALERT

    Ooh, here's an interesting mental exercise: Would you rather have Patty C and Jusuf Nurkic, or Rondae Hollis-Jefferson?

    It means that's what Pat makes and we aren't going to find a rookie who can do what he does for the same amount of money.

    A first round rookie wouldn't be more expensive considering we'll be drafting in the bottom half of the first round and Connaughton will be on his second contract. The minimum starting salary for him would be higher than anyone drafted in Portlands range.

    Nah, Pat should be our back-up SG. We just need that 6th man - Turner isn't it.
    As long as we can re-sign Pat on a team-friendly contract I want to retain him. Smart players don't grow on trees.
