Wow, 3 Steve Novak postings on the first NBA Dish page must be a first. But I figured this was interesting enough to post. NBA Dime (Point 7)
With or without Novak, Clippers play no defense. Might as well put Novak it... We all know he is a great shooter... But when you see teams put scrawny players like Kyle Korver posting Novak, then you know that his defense is that bad.

You can call me an idiot, but right now Steve is THE BEST 3-pt shooter in the game. The thing is, nobody knows him and nobody watches him play.
Steve would win the 3 point shootout for sure. James White would win the dunk contest for sure. Won't happen because they'll never get the chance...it's a shame.
The amazing thing is, when Steve is open there is 99% chance that he is gonna make it. I really don't remember him missing an open 3. He is just an amazing shooter. I wish he was on Rockets' roster. I know we have Barry, but he is OLD... Now, Steve has to put 110% effort during the summer because he has to make himself at least an under average defender. I am sure a lot of teams will be interested.
