We got several guys who appear good at hitting open threes and they should get looks with Luka. Hardaway can do that as well but can also make contested shots. We don't have many guys who can do this.
I haven't looked it up, but I am curious to know:
- The percentage of THJ when going for a contested shot.
- How many shots he has taken with a defender within 3 feet of him and does he make 'em on a good clip.
- How many are wide open shots.
- What percentage of THJ's game are spot-up catch and shoot, how many are attacks to the basket, how many are pull-up 2s
- How effective THJ is with Luka and how is he without him
- Is THJ really is your above average scorer or did he just become a 3 point specialist under Luka's supreme gravity
- Is THJ really heads and shoulders above Bullock who will likely thrive on open shots? How about Sterling Brown who also has decent handles and also able to attack the basket with a somewhat open lane?
If THJ is relegated to a "catch and shoot 3s" kinda' wing, then there is less distinction he has from Bullock, DFS and Brown, at least in offense.
