maybe selfish, but also effective.

If he was shooting like 40% and not passing the ball, then he could be called selfish.

I mean, Jordan shot 23 times a game (50%) and averaged 5 apg. Selfish amirite?

I personally rate assists lower than many do.

Your point has merit, but one must have the ability to score in a many ways so that opponents can't be maximally effective all the time. Assists don't have to be a part of it, and being selfish is ok if the talent lies in both the selfish player and someone else so that there is an effective outlet. Not meh effective. E-friggen-fective.

So I need a little more than you outline to buy in whole hog.

Also: No Monta

This guy reminds me of Jamal Mashburn. He is def a good player, he just doesn't do anything else besides shooting.

He is a career 44% shooter averaging 18 per game, 3.3 Assists per game, and 2.6 rebounds per game.

He needs to do something else besides scoring to make me want to keep him around. At least Ryan Anderson rebounds
