I think Euro 3pt line is 2-3' shorter than NBA?
It is about a foot and a half shorter. It hasn't been a problem for Euro players coming over.

Don't you think that's a bit of a generalization. Every player is different.

yea, Mirotic was a 41% 3pt shooter for Real Madrid, shot 31% NBA last year.

and i just posted Rubio. He once shot 42 & 38% in back to back seasons, and we all know how terrible of an NBA 3point shooter he has been (31%)

you never know.

I just posted his numbers. Didnt say anything about them. I know its different.

It truly amazes me how butthurt you get about the Rockets. Is it mostly just jealousy?

he desperately wants to be able to cheer for winner, but it has evaded him for a while now. he's a little bitter.

Well yeah. There may be a bit of a learning curve, but if they can shoot they will be able to shoot in the NBA.

Who knows on the three point shooting? It's hard to predict that stuff. Steph Curry has a better 3-point percentage in the NBA than he did in college. His senior year, when he played PG for the first time, he shot 38% from three. He's been much better than that in the NBA.

I know you are partly trolling, but that's not a horrible comparison. If Jeremy Lin was smarter with the basketball, he'd be very valuable. Lin's career turnovers per game is 2.5. Llull's is 1.2.

I expressed several times this year that the Rockets missed Lin's playmaking ability. Harden had no perimeter help from a playmaking standpoint. Just guys who could hit threes occasionally.

Im not trolling.

I wish Vassilis Spanoulis would have worked out for the Rockets. Dude is a legend in Europe.

As a scorer he reminds me of Nash, though he obviously isn't on the same level as a playmaker.

his percentages say he isnt near the shooter Nash is. Maybe a very poor man's Nash, kinda like Lin
