    Rashard Lewis? He hits a good percentage of 3s, but is hardly a pure shooter. What about Matt Nodefense?

    I think Garrity will be the one of the first guys knocked out, along with Lewis.

    Ray Allen and Allan Houston haven't impressed me much in prior 3 point competitions, so I don't favor them. Typically, guards with quick releases and a pure stroke do good in this event, so I'm gonna go with Steve Nash, with Bryon Russell as my sleeper.

    I'm a big fan of Allan Houston, but the three-point contest favors players with a quick release...or actually, a player who is comfortable with a quick release.

    Now, if the league allowed another player to bump Houston before every shot, then I'd say he would be the favorite (because he plays better off contact).

    Not Allan Houston. Here's hoping he lasts longer than Ray Allen. I like the player from Sacramento. Pedrag Stoakovic, too.

    Weird list. Only 2 of the top 10 in total 3s (Allen, Nowitzki) and 2 of the top 10 in percentage (Russell, Garrity).

    I think guards have the advantage here. Give me Allen, with Houston my sleeper.

    I'll take Peja Stojakovic 1st, w/ Ray Allen and Nash coming close. I don't think Nowitzki is the right kind of shooter for this competition.

    My take for last place...Rashard Lewis, or Russell. I would say Garrity, but I honestly don't think I've ever seen him play. I must have missed both Orlando games last year.

    I think russel will win, he is a semi-streaky shooter and could light it up.

    Absolutely shake! He was really the "surprise" last year & he's improved a ton since then.
