Are either of those players reliable from the free throw line? No. Do the majority of games get decided at the line? Yes. Is it easier to get the last shot on the perimeter where there's room to run, or in the post with three guys hanging off of you? Yes. Jefferson still hasn't proven he's a winner. Every team he's played on stinks. Anyone who thinks Iggy would not be taking the last shot over Brand or Big Al needs to be shot.

If hasn’t fixed his jumper yet he never will." Not necessarily. Jordan didn't shoot above 40% from 3 till he was in his 30's. So he can definitely improve. He might be forced to once his athleticism starts to wear out....not that that is coming anytime soon. @cynic

He is a finisher and he finishes at a good percentage of 72.1. The problem with AI2 is he does not go to the rim in halfcourt enough. In fact I think most of the time he goes to the rim is on the fastbreak. This could be because we (the Sixers) don't have any shooters so opposing teams clog the paint or because he does not have a go to move to get into the paint (at least in the halfcourt) I think it is a little bit of both and I hope Eddie Jordan's offense can help with create lanes for him to drive. Because he doesn't drive in the halfcourt he forces a lot of jumpers and thats why his shooting percentages are so low, but he still needs to work on his J. I think his ceiling in terms of stats is 23ppg 6apg 2spg 6rpg. I would have rated him 27th on this list. Nice article you hit Iguodala’s game on the nail, but I do think he was ranked too high.

Dude will the Tony Parker of the east.. Maybe even quicker off the first step.. @ DOC - i figured some shit like that would go down too.. That game was too close for comfort.. November ring huh lol we'll see what happens this regular season bruh..
