Certainly, that's one reason why shooting the ball is so important. I have seen enough of guys sagging off of folks like GB and Tate and others that can't hit a good percentage from three and it clogging and bogging down our offensive efffectivness. Thats one reason why JG being inserted was huge. Not just for the shots he takes but the spacing he provided that others didn't. I want shooters around Kofi that shoot closer to 40% than 25% from three. It impacts our spacing for Kofi and our penrtrating guards. So yes I want it to go in and I didnt see that much from Hawk he passed on shots often because he struggled from 3. Hopefully he will improve and I think he will. His shot does look pretty good with time to shoot it.

great post my friend...............................................................................................................
Sometimes the disagreements here are a result of people having different definitions of the same word. So when it comes to "depth" and "rotation" what do you mean?
Put another way, if someone is in the rotation, is it assumed that they'll play every game that they're healthy for? When we talk about depth, just what would you anticipate the mpg or ppg of an 8th or 9th man who would be considered valuable to the current team to be part of our "depth"

I consider at least 10 min/game to be "part of the rotation."
This is a good definition. Someone who plays 12 minutes one game because of a match-up or foul trouble, then like 2 minutes a game for the next five games, is not in the rotation. To be in the rotation means your role is not situational.
