  1. I’m not sure that’s a good stat to lead in. It could be interpreted as who takes the worst shots.

    In MPJ’s case, he definitely makes a lot of them. That might be the better stat, who makes the highest percentage of contested threes.

  2. I mean, that’s a pretty good list of players. MPJ has a high release and is tall and lanky, he’s like KD in the sense that contests don’t really get above his eye level so they don’t bother him.

    I look forward to watching him next year next to a few better players, he’s actually someone who knows how to win and has a long history of winning – he’d probably fit in very nicely next to Boozer in particular who is a great passer at his size. That’s not me saying he’s the guy I want most but he’d be pretty nice to have.
