    I think Landry is gonna be a beast when he comes into camp next year. I'll bet he's gonna come back with a 3 pt shot.

    what are you talking about? you want the majority of his shots to be high percentage shots, AKA LAYUPS. when he gets more confident i can see his game stretching to that mid range jumper he occasionally shoots. im pretty sure his PPG will suffer a bit but not too much. we'll see how that turns out next year.

    If it's Rafer Alston it's a good sign. We are almost unbeatable if and when he plays well.

    I think it's hard to decide right now with, but I hope it's anybody BUT Bobby Jackson it was highly dissapointing seeing him brick all those shots against the Jazz

    Scola is too one dimensional offensively to be a third scorer on a good team IMO. I love the guy and think he fits in perfectly here but as soon as plays get consistently called for him the defense will adjust and his average size and old man athleticism will be exposed.

    Third scorer needs to be a perimeter guy who can shoot or slash (or both).

    Yeh I agree with that. If he averages somewhere around 15 ppg and 42-43% then we'll know he has stepped up his game. I would really like him to work on finishing inside the paint better and around the basket. If he starts to make those floaters, then he'll be dangerous.

    Are you kidding me? What's wrong with layups? And what's the difference between a layup and a dunk? Only points count and a layup has better chance to be a 3-point play.

    He has never been that once in his career, what makes you think he will have this sudden improvement in his 30s?

    I don't think Morey will pursue a big name FA in the offseason.... I think he will try to draft an athletic scorer or decent SF/SG in the draft.

    I believe Scolandry in year 2 will make the biggest jump and hopefully PG can be more consistent.

    While the big dude can stay healthy.

    hope? :p

    Hey maybe he's a late bloomer. But seriously, he just needs to work on his layups and floaters, it's just mechanics, I'm not asking him to run faster or jump higher.

    noone currently on the team is good enough to be the 3rd scorer if we want a championship.

    This is my first post...

    I hope that Scola is the third scorer, I want Rafer to be like a Deron Williams type point guard, even Chris Paul or Kidd, they score when they have to. If he can think more about passing and shoot only when he feels he can't generate a better shot, than I would be satisfied. Does anyone else love to say "nooo" when Rafer shoots? I do it alot, but it usually goes in when I say that haha.
