Shooters

[mrob]

I agree with this line of reasoning. I'd rather have a guy like Hood who will hit 38-40% of his 3's and play good defense than a player who shoots 45% but can't defend on the other end. If we can upgrade to a great "3 and D' player, FANTASTIC!. If not, I like what Hayward, Burks and Hood bring to the table.

I never meant to suggest that a 3-point shooter that is a liability on defense is a good idea. I just meant that they didn't need to be defensive stopper. Sure would like to have Kyle Korver back now, but that's probably never going to happen now.

Let's ressurect Eddie Johnson or Steve Kerr Jazz killers of yesteryear.

Rodney Hood reminds me a lot of Allan Houston.

I really liked Alan Houston and always wished we could have gotten him. His defense was lackadaisical at times, but his offense was undeniable. If Hood can be 75% of the offensive player Houston was and 2x the defender we will have something truly special.

I did a comparison to Glen Rice, but that's a good one, too.

Ron Mercer.

I would be very happy with this. I was one of the few that really liked his game while he was here and thought letting him go was a big mistake.

I think we all liked his game. The objection I had is when we needed offense down the stretch when we were fighting for a playoff spot and he admitted he was passing up shots to protect his record. That's not a guy you can keep on your team.

"We don't need shooters. We need makers."

That look is... priceless. But the sentiment holds true. Repped.

If we can somehow walk out of this draft with Hezonja, I think we'll become legit championship contenders.
