a shooting guard.  The outside game opens up the inside game.  If you =

outside.



Well that definitely means that he could never make it as a SHOOTING =
GUARD, right?  If his fg % is that terrible, he should never have gotten =

drafted in the first place, am I correct?

That means that Shaq must be one of the greatest shooters ever because =
his fg % is so high, right?  C'mon and get real everyone!  If you judge =
these guys solely by statistics, there are many great players who would=20

so does that mean that he can't help his team in other areas?  Damon =
Stoudamire is not a great rebounder or defender but I see there are some =

Stats are terribly deceiving, especially in the case of a rookie pg who =
has barely played 10 games in the league.  THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE!
