Default Re: Celtics want Reggie Miller

Spackler,

I think Reggie will get in, and I support that decision. But your argument has a few holes.

Re: the range/hands in face argument. Doesn't really say much. It's awesome from a spectacle stand point. Doesn't necessarily mean it's good, efficient basketball. And I'd venture to guess his career FG% from 27 feet w/ hands in face is on the order of 20%.

Re: the PG situation. He spent most of his prime alongside a Mark Jackson, a very good PG.

Re: Low post threat - he got 5 years of Jermaine O'Neal, 4 of which were JON's peak. However, he was hurt for half of Reggie's final season.

Re: Teams defended against him, had to work the hardest. Reggie had to work harder to get open than any other star SG because Reggie was worse at creating his own shot than any other star SG.
