    3-pointers or dunking? I would like him to add dunking because now that the entire league knows that he is one of the biggest threats in the paint with his layups he needs to add more flashiness with some dunkage. Although I would like to see him knock down treys too. He's our only guard who has a 3-point problem.

    Neither.

    More assists, and better FT% would be priorities above either (although the FTs had really improved by the latter half of the year).

    If I had to choose between the two you listed, it would be three-pointers. It adds nothing substantial to his current game if he dunks or hits teardrops.

    If he could hit three pointers, Tony would be unguardable.

    yeah. Imagine Tony w/ Steve Nash or Mike Bibby's shooting coupled w/ his penetrating abilities. Lay off him and he'll drop bombs, get up on him and he blows past you. Forget about him avg. a high asst. number. Not needed as long as you have a post player.

    If I could add anything to Tony's game it would be a very relaible mid range shot. If Tony could hit a 17 footer whenever he wanted to defenses would have to double him every possesion, because Tony can get around anyone in the league on one leg, having a shot outside of the key makes his assits go up, would increase the team 3pt shooting %, and would really free up Manu and Tim.

    Manu could also spend more time on the peremiter should more open looks become avaliable, something he is going to need to do as he gets older anyway.

    I think a deep shot for a point guard is pretty over-rated, that's more of a 2 or 3 guard trait, but you kind of want you PG to be a little bit closer to the basket where he can guide the offense a little more.

    Overall improved shooting form (3 pointers, midrange, FTs) will open up his game. Dunks are only 2 points, and as stated above do nothing to improve his game or the Spurs fortunes.

    who cares if he dunks? stop acting like it wouldnt be cool to see tony jam a few a night. just because it still counts the same doesnt mean it doesnt have an impact on the game outside of the score.

    but after saying that, id rather him hit add three point range to his game than dunking

    answer the question, people.

    Let me break it down for you.

    Dunk = 2 points
    3 pointer = 3 points

    3>2.

    I could give a flip about seeing Tony dunk a few. He's not going to all of a sudden become unguardable if teams are worried about him dunking it.

    If he all of a sudden became a 43% three point shooter, that would have far greater impact on his play, opposing defenses, and our chances to win another le than piddly ass dunking.

    What's the expected value of a 3 point attempt?

    Let me break it down for you.

    Expected Value = sum over all possibile outcomes (probability of an outcome * value of that outcome)

    Only five guys in the league shot over 43% last year from 3. Y'all are crazy if that's what you are looking for from Tony.

    38-39% would be a more reasonable goal within a couple years.

    I think as long as he keeps steadily improving his jumpshot as he did toward the end of last year and maintains his focus on improving his allaround game, then he'll be great.

    After the All-Star break he shot 76%FT. In the playoffs, I think he was over 80%. So hopefully he can continue from there.

    I'd love to see him block three shots a game into the stands like Ben Wallace too, but that isn't happening either.
