Regardless of what your offensive game consists of unless it is just chucking them up from the cheap seats, and even then, the more you can get to the foul line the better. Even if your free throw shooting rate is not say 80% or better drawing fouls especially if it is against your opponents starters is a good thing to be able to do.

A good outside shot would help guys like Weems and DeRozan because of their slashing ability. Hamilton is a great shooter, just not a great 3 point shooter, but he also never stops moving. Hes not creating a lot of shots off the dribble. A big part of DeRozan's game will probably be creating off the dribble, and being a threat from outside (whether or not thats 20 feet or 25 feet) would help him immensely.

It is like lifting weights. There is a limit for each individual.
Every basketball player has a limit on their range from a practical point of view. Some guys like Perkins could spend 8 hours a day shooting three point shots and I seriously doubt that his TS% would be greater shooting those than what it is now when almost all of his shots are from within 10 feet and the majority from withing 5 feet.Avatar: Riverboat Coffee House 134 Yorkville Ave. billboard of upcoming entertainers - Circa 1960s
