I just wouldn't want him to fall in love with it, just have it as a weapon so it's tougher for defenses to key in on your drive-game.
It would be unprecedented for DeRozan to become that good of a three point shooter (with his current 50-50 corner/above the break distribution). Can't think of anyone who made that kind of improvement to their shooting that late in their career. However he's already broken precedent with this season he's having, so I guess anything is possible.

If he never gets that 3 ball, you just need make sure your PF, and most of your bench shoots around 40% from 3For still frame photograph of me reading the DeRozan thread please refer to my avatar

Kidd only had 2 sub-30% years (his rookie season and 2000-01). He shot 34% from 3 (1.6 makes) and 37% from 3 in his 2nd and 3rd seasons. He was always a passable three-point shooter, he just started to get even better at it after 30, most likely to allow himself to lessen his role on offense and avoid high-impact plays.

Sometimes he is even a liability
Grasping at straws like I said before. And offense gets paid more than defense in the NBA.
I suppose Houston, Portland and L.A. should've just told Harden, Lillard and Griffin to bugger off then when they were due to be paid.Last edited by JWash; Tue Jan 12, 2016, 12:26 AM.
