Salim Stoudamire (if horry leaves)

[ducks]

he went to the hawks 31 pick
he has hit clutch shots in the past
attitude seems to be a problem in the past.(like jackson)
but his last year he went and did stuff with his teamates

no he has not hit clutch shots like horry has in the nba but he has hit some in big games

[ducks]

I have more faith in him hitting a three late in the game then I do barry

Salim Stoudamire Draft Capsule
June 28, 2005

VITALS: 6-1, 179, Arizona

OVERVIEW: Stoudamire led the nation in 3-point shooting at 50.4 and finished his four-year career fifth on the NCAA Division I list at 46 percent. His 91 percent free throw percentage ranked fourth nationally and was a school record. The All-Pac 10 performer hit a conference and school record 120 3-pointers. Stoudamire averaged a team-high 18.4 points and 2.1 assists this season, posting a career high-tying 37 points and 11 3-pointers against Washington in the conference championship game. He hit game-winning shots at the buzzer in the regular season against UCLA and Arizona State and also against Oklahoma in the NCAA Tournament.LIKELY DRAFT POSITION: Late first round or early second round.

COMPARATIVE UPSIDE: Jason Terry

COMPARATIVE DOWNSIDE: Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf

ROLE PROJECTION: Instant offense guard off the bench.

POSITIVES: Stoudamire might be the best pure shooter in the draft. Amazingly, his size and the fact he is not a true point guard had many people theorizing that he would not be picked in the first round. Stoudamire has a lightning-quick release on his shot and has "in the gym" range. He is one of the few college players who rarely looked to see whether he was just behind the 3-point line. His comfortable shooting range extends to the NBA arc. He is a player that can provide a spark with his offense.

SHORTCOMINGS: Stoudamire is short and not a point guard. His cousin, Damon Stoudamire, has been a very effective NBA player and is even shorter than Salim, who never has been praised as an especially adroit defender. Then again, defending is not likely to be what gains him minutes in the NBA.

[Sense]

No please.

[Marcus Bryant]

Stop smoking the lettuce, my fair fowl friend.

[Jdspur20]

no, because horry isn't leaving in the first place.

[TheTruth]

So, if we don't resign Horry we should make a trade for salim stoudamire because of a clutch shot he hit in college? Nahh

[ALVAREZ6]

Horry isn't leaving, and if he were, then why would we get another guard? Salim won't do shit in the NBA.

[ducks]

I think he will be ok in the nba
under the right coach
I am just comparring horry's clutch shooting to his
I know he is a guard not a forward

It's the ONLY way to get PT in San Antonio.

[ALVAREZ6]

I know he is a guard not a forward
Not only that, he's like 6 foot. In the NBA, you gotta be quick as shit, like AI or Boykins to be effective at that height.

If you're 6' , you can't come to the NBA and just rely on your shooting. If he were taller he would probably be great.

[ducks]

did not people say big dog can not play d
and did you see what the spurs did with him

I think he could play a steve kerr role however I am not sure he would like that role
but you could tell him he plays well in those minutes he would get more minutes

kerr was not tall or not that great of a defender

his shooting is by far alot better then most shooters

[Banks91]
