Maybe Croshere should get drafted when his Pacers seasons are available where he has a 4 FGA 39% 3pt in the middle of his prime. I like that he played on winning teams basically his whole career (2000s Pacers, then 07 Mavs and 08 Warriors) as a 15 minute stretch forward.

I remember looking into the Croshere option in a previous pairs draft as a Warrior, and he's a name I liked

Everyone learned a new name today. :lol:

Maybe I should have gone with Michael "The Animal" Smith but he wasn't really a center.

I grew up watching Tsakalidis. He reached the Euroleague Final with a relatively weak team and moved to the NBA a couple of seasons after that. Basketball-wise, he was a very limited player. Just a tall Center who could protect the rim. After his retirement, it was revealed that his actual name is Aleksey Ledkov and was 6 years older than his declared age. :lol:

As great a shooter as Curry is, he has only had a single 50/40/90 season.

How crazy is it that Bird did it twice, Durant did it twice and Nash did it FOUR TIMES!

KD is the craziest one for me given the volumes.

agreed, also a bit with Nash...man if he would have shot with more volume but maintained efficiency he would have been easily a top 5 all time PG, probs top 3.

Truthfully, it speaks to how 50/40/90, while impressive, is also kind of arbitrary.

Steph doesn’t do it more because he shoots too many threes to have 50 percent shooting. I count an additional 6 seasons where he has 90 percent free throws, 40 percent threes, and well over 50 percent on two pointers. The ONLY thing “holding him back” is the number of threes.

He could have dialed back his threes to hit that mark pretty regularly , but that would have made him a worse player.

This will make 2 games in the playoffs. No new game should start until at least one of them ends.
