In Dallas, Kidd became a legit threat as a 3pt shooter. He shot 46%, 41%, 43%, 34%, 35% in Dallas.


His shooting was not good during their championship season. He shot like 36% from the field and 34% from 3. Greivis is not far off of those numbers (which admittedly aren't good). Vasquez is over 40% for his career, though. Now, if you want to compare Kidd's first 3 years, Vasquez again compares favorably. Kidd had more assists, but also played considerably more.

The numbers I listed were Kidd's 3pt%, not FG%. The last two years in Dallas were slightly above average, the first 3 years were excellent. Kidd has never been a great shooter, but he became a good enough 3pt shooter in Dallas that defenses had to respect that. Vasquez is 29% and 32% from 3. That is poor and below average.

You really trying to compare Vasquez to future Hall of Famer Jason Kidd? Time to take of the creole blue glasses, bro.

I'm sorry, but who is better AND available?


Not the issue at all. No one with any sense thinks they need to find a new pg right now. All I said was that long term, I do not believe Vasquez is the answer unless he learns how to hit 3s at a good rate.
