    We've been waiting for a PG that can shoot the three since Kenny Smith :)
    AB leading the league in 3s made and shooting 40% are NOT bad things. Who was supposed to take the shots all season? Chucky?

    When Yao comes back, I think it is much more apparent why we need Brooks over Lowry, for the kickout 3's. Having Martin/Brooks/Battier/Ariza/Budinger outside will make this a dangerous team when Yao is back. I hear you on Lowry being a better passer and I love his play too, but especially with Martin drawing fouls now, you don't need Lowry in the starting 5. Keep him coming off the bench and you have somebody drawing fouls all game long. It'll be interesting to see the foul trouble they can create and impact on teams trying to guard Yao.

    Shooters are told to keep shooting even when they re off...Soooo no and he usually doesnt shoot that many 3s in a game...Plus he is one of the best shooters in the game?

    Yeah aron is a great shooter. And yes, if someone is really good from three, he should shoot it.

    But with brookes, I feel that because he is so fast, he should drive it in more.

    It seems to me that its his 3-point shots that are opening up his drives. Which I feel should be the other way around. He should look to drive first, if the guys sags off then think about the 3. It seems to me, whenever brooks gets the ball, he thinks of the 3 point shot first. There is always gonna be off nights, while drives, at least u have a chance of free throws.

    kinda hard to pass when no one is cutting or getting open. he's the only one that can create on his own from the perimeter. sac had martin on lockdown
