    From SLAM-

    LMA checks in at #23
     A great spot up shooter from the mid-range, Aldridge converted assists on 75 percent of his spot up makes from the 16-23 foot range last year while making 2.1 per game. Believe it or not, that 75 percent is actually a four-year low for the power forward from Texas on his jumpers, meaning that he might be comfortable putting the ball on the floor, taking a dribble or two and then shooting the jumper. Either way, Aldridge seems to be a mainstay on this list for years to come with his improving jump shooting ability.



    Roy comes in at a respectable #9
     You might not know that Brandon Roy takes most of his shots in the mid-range area, where he attempts 5 per game and knocks in just over 2 to shoot at a 43 percent clip. A suave combo guard who can pull up and knock down a jumper from anywhere inside the arc, Roy is a tough cover in this region because he is also so tough to prevent from getting to the basket. It is the ability to keep his defender off balance, the awareness of knowing what a good shot is and the confidence to pull the trigger that makes him one of the game’s best in the mid-range.
    CP3 and Derrick Rose are not better mid-range shooters than Roy though. Also, I would have liked to see Jarrett Jack make the list. Dude's mid-range shot was his bread and butter.

    They went by some crazy statistic...either way D.Rose is not a better mid-range jump shooter than B-Roy. They sure didn't double check their computers..cuz damn that's waay off.
    I am a fan of B-Roy and LaMonster!

    Time will tell. As it is well known round these parts, I do not have much hope for athletic big men. (JJ Hickson doesn''t count).

    He''s too big to be a SF, to big to be a PF, so Centre.

    Henson and Harkless yes, Nicholson, not really.

    Okay, I''ll admit it, I like Asik better. I definitely think they will both have very good careers. And finally, someone who agrees, that Ibaka is a  shot blocker, not really a great defender.

    Magic have a center and tons of young talent, extra picks and a future with a lot of cap space so yah the MAGIC.

    Started by cmeese47 on 05/17/13 at 2:53 PM

    Henson will be solid down the road but his ceiling is more like Taj Gibson. He is a great role player but not elite like Sanders and Ibaka could be if people were not so willing to shoot on him.
