    Is it due to one of the following?

    A. Rafer Alston Theory - The more 3's you attempt, the better your chances of having more 3's go in than those who do not shoot as much.

    B. Ray Allen Theory - The dude just knocks down 3's regardless. Shot selection is irrelevant because Brooks was just born to shoot.

    C. Tracy McGrady Theory - Although, McGrady fails to knock down most of his "heat checks" and in momentum 3's... Brooks excels in it. He knocks down 3's during clutch situations, and when he feels that he is in good rhythm/wants to chuck up a heat check.

    D. IDGAF Theory - Who cares?! Brooks is leading the league in 3's! Go Rockets! :grin:

    Personally I think it's a tossup between Theory D and Theory C. :p

    Dead-eye shooter, for sure.

    Although he doesn't move without the ball as well as Allen and Budinger.

    Chucker definitely

    Good: his shots goes in
    Bad: when his shot is off, there is nothing else that he can rely on. our offense dies

    Dead-eye shooter definintely

    can't be the Rafer Alston chucking theory or else he wouldn't be averaging about 39% from beyond the arc, which is pretty damn good. 39% leading the league in 3's for a season is Ray Allen-like.

    After shooting 6/9 from downtown tonight, he's above 40% for the season.

    Even better...I don't know but for some reason he doesn't come across as a Ray Allen type shooter but Ray was constantly around 40% so another year or so and I guess he is...

    What is his average in turn-overs during clutch? I'm betting it's high.

    Hah, I don't think that nor say that....lol.

    I do think he is good enough to start at PG on a championship team though.

    A lot less than Yao's .

    Brooks is second overall behind Granger in 3pt attempts per game.
