    Robert, PJ and Eric in that order

    ROCO was our best open 3 ball shooter prior to this funk. Sigh. PJ. Love the guy. Shot is not very dependable currently. Eric because he's a much better shooter than what he is showing. I like the idea of giving him the green light with the 2nd unit in order to get his confidence back via volume shooting (hopefully) instead of over reaching on the unit with Harden.

    I actually think Benny Mac and House have been shooting it decent (eye test) in the bubble.

    oops sorry I was wrong - both House and Benny were the best WIDE OPEN 3 point shooters during the season. Robert only shot it 33% when wide open. Dang.

    Man if all these guys were shooting even close to their career averages, Houston would be unstoppable...

    The one that jacks up the most 3's. If Covington and Gordon are hitting, we will be unstoppable. The only other person would Westbrook. If he were just an average 3 point shooter, he would be in the MVP conversation every year.

    I believe Covington needs to step his game on 3 point shots. Often times I watch him when he gets the ball he would shoot it right away rather than one more pass to an open guy. If he is going to look for his own shot first he is going have to knock them down more consistently. He didn’t seem like he shooting that well in the bubble from the games I watched.

    PJ has a nerve injury that's been numbing his hands so he's offensively irrelevant. Fat Gordon, Covington, Austin and Mack all have got to play well
