re: MKG sounds like he wouldn't mind getting traded to the Pels

I'm not super interested in MKG. He can't shoot to save his life. He's basically a more athletic Tony Allen, which is a good player, but is basically a zero on offense. He can guard 2-4, but so can Solo (not as good of a defender but still versatile) and defenses have to actually respect his shooting.

Question: Is MKG the same, better or worse than Austin Rivers on offense?

I didn't see many Charlotte games last year, so I can't testify to this, but I thought I read and heard that MKG's shot was finally improving last year?

I know he only played seven games last year, which is a ridiculously small sample size, but he looked really good in the games he did play based on what I've read. He's still only 22 years old, so I think there's a chance he becomes a decent shooter, if he stays healthy. I'd love to have him, but only at a certain cost.

How do we know that? Hill hasn't played enough minutes to show he can be a consistent offensive threat. MKG can't shoot well but he's proven to be a great perimeter defender. It would be a coup if we could trade Tyreke for him. I doubt Charlotte does that though.
