Uh... 3 Point % Last Season ----------------------- DMo - 36.8% Ryan Anderson - 34.0% Nikola Mirotic - 31.6%
Volume, reliability. DMo needs to up his attempts while remaining efficienct. His free throw percentage, which correlates strongly with 3P%, suggests that that won't be easy. Morey might want someone with proven marksmanship as backup.
Some options outside of Hayes and Terry. Positions of need 2 guard with size Center with size Insurance pg Unsigned 2 guards w/ size: Jason Richardson Dahntay Jones Unsigned Center(s) w/ size: Ryan Hollins Unsigned Insurance pgs: Luke Ridnour Andre Miller Will Bynum Ish Smith Phil Pressey
Shoot Jason rorchards on, andre miller, will Bynum, Hollis and boozer would be players I'd be looking into
What about James Jones??? He could be a sneaky good get for the Rox... He is a deadly 3pt shooter Has a couple of championships rings... A 12 year veteran played in some big games Would be good for the lockeroom
DMO game is posting up, he's best at center & posting up, all his work was done without Howard. (Spacing) He shot good but I'm talking about a PF who could shoot lower than that but that players respect and is a gunner. From anywhere on the court. Setting picks ready to catch a quick pass from Lawson for a shot. Maybe DMO will be that guy next yr but he will be playing outside of his strength.
Allen William is fine to this team, a guy who can hit med range jumper is a rare commodity these days
You have to take into consideration how many 3's are made and attempted per game Anderson made nearly 3 times the amount of 3's that Dmo did per game, Nikola almost double. Dmo .7 Nikola 1.2 Ryan 2.0 Dmo only really got into his groove near mid to end of season so we will see what his shot looks like next year to really compare his shot to the others. BTW last year was kinda an off one for Anderson, for the last 3 or so seasons prior he was hitting nearly three 3 pointer per game on 38-40% shooting.
Is D-Mo able to shoot with his injury? I'd expect his shooting to get worse if he hasn't been working on it all this time.
DMo has a skill-set and the potential that should be exploited and given as much court-time experience as possible to expand and further hone his game. He has shown good touch and form on his shot and should look to improve consistency from behind the arc in game-time situations, especially in the corners. Adding an additional outside shooting big man will impact the growth of DMo and should only be done if said player can bring more to the table in all aspects, than DMo.
