I don't see Duncan shooting many 3s and I don't think Pop would want him that far outside shooting 3s. Then he won't be near the basketball for offensive rebounds or put backs. It is fine how it is so don't change it.
A 3 point shot? I know it sounds strange, but its the only thing he hasnt really experimented with as of yet. He can already hit the mid range jumpers and has thrown in a 3 bomb at times late in the shot clock and looked pretty decent...If he could add a semi-reliable 3 point shot to his game, similar to how other PFs can do it like Dirk, Radmonovic, Rasheed, even Garnett to an extent, that would really spread the floor and give another unexpected offensive threat. maybe its a pipe dream, but it would be nice

He can add it later. Right now healthy ankles are goal #1.
No. There's no need for Tim to go out there, and he'll never have a really accurate shot from the 3 point line. It wouldn't fit into the gameplan at all. No, what I want is a much closer shot, specifically one from 15 feet dead on, to fall a bit more consistently
if he shots threes he can not rebound the ball
if he is out by three point land he can not rebound other peopels misses
This is another thing that makes KG a better player than Duncan that he is a threat at 3 pointers even though he doesn't shoot many. Duncan you could leave wide open and he won't shoot that shot.
yeah the rebounding thing would be a bit of a problem, but i dont think he should look for a 3 point shot all the time either...i guess i meant it would be nice when the spurs were running an offense where tim is at the elbows instead of the post, he could sneak out a little bit from time to time beyond the 3 line and if left open, he could fire away. wont ever happen though
FT's?
TD has enough range on his shot to keep defenders honest as it is, but I agree, it would be pretty smooth if he could.
I remember that one season when George Jefferson had DRob launching treys. That was ed up. The funny thing is that he nailed a solid % of them (around 35%). Sometimes DRob was like a friggin robot. He could do anything, but he had to be told to do so.
KG is not a better player than Duncan and in no form or fashion should our key rebounder be shooting threes on a constant basis. The last thing we need is to go away from what makes the Spurs so successful: Duncan's post presence. Who's going to double Duncan at the three point line? Not only does that greatly increase the other team's chance for rebounding, but it also disrupts our offense. The lanes would be closed because nobody is doubling Duncan.
Why exactly would the Spurs want to take the best post player in the game and have him float around the three-point line? I can't imagine any scheme in the offense where that is a good idea.
That keyhole jumper is all he needs.
like i stated in my 2nd post, it wouldnt be a staple of the offense, just an option when they ran duncan off the elbows instead of the post
ditto
I'd rather he learn to shoot free throws consistently instead of 3's...
This quote is another reason why nobody can take you seriously. KG is better than Duncan because he can make threes that he doesn't take? I'm better than Duncan because I can make threes I don't make.
Priceless.
The Spurs don't need anyone else jacking up threes, thank you, especially their best post guy.
What do you want him to turn into. . .Chris Webber??
He might become like Dirk and build camp around the three point line and I dare say he will lose his aggresiveness. Timaay is ultimate post player. Lets not change that, please.
He dominates at the post. Why would he. He ain't Chris Webber.
Spoiled Spurs fans.
Timmy is perfect JUST the way he is. He brought 3 championships to a non-championship city, did he not?
Leave what works alone.
All I'm saying is thats dude better be going around town on a Rascal this summer or heads will roll! I don't want anything to happen!
Could the guys from "Pimp My Ride" get some 24's on Rascal? Maybe some sweet spinners, too!
I think the MLE would be best spent on two large guys who will carry Tim everywhere and a third guy to run out ahead and remove any and all tripping hazards.
weren't you the one in a previous thread that took exception to someone speaking for all Spurs fans. :pSpoiled Spurs fans.
^Heh. I was talking in reference to the person who started this thread and others wanting more from Timmy.
maybe its a pipe dream, but it would be nice
YEAH.
A DREAM THAT COMES OUT OF YOUR PIPE THAT'S LOADED WITH MIND-BENDING DRUGS MAYBE.
YOU'LL NEVER CATCH ME DROPPING A OR BUYING A GRATEFUL DEAD ALBUM YOU HIPPIE.
Let's say San Antonio is down by 3. Wouldn't it help to know that Duncan can hit that shot like Garnett can. He would be useless in this case and Garnett can make that shot. So can Webber but Webber sucks. I'm not asking him to shoot 20 3's a game but just be able to do it. Same with free throws and Garnett can hit 75% of those.
