 Hes the best shooter on the team currently.  I was a little disappointed in his ability to create for others,  to be fair he doesn't get tons of chances.

 But boy can this kid shoot it. Around 42% last year from three if memory serves. We need to get this kid as many three point attempts as possible this year.

 Especially if we sign Schroeder we hardly need Prichard at PG at all. The two ball handling  guards will make us a little small, good news is Smart, Dunn, and Dennis if we get him are all 6'8" wingspan guys and can guard the bigger players.

Smart
Prichard

Dunn
Prichard

Schroeder
Prichard

 Hes also a feisty defender. Let's get him more minutes.

 Also lots of talk how Richardson can't shoot.  Career 36% from three and 83% from the free throw line. Very solid. Down year on OKC and Dallas, but very good with the heat with better players.

 Don't be surprised to see him shoot 37% or better this year with wide open shots.

Pritchard should embrace the spirit of Eddie House. He’s a pretty good shooter (and I think he can develop into an elite one, more than Nesmith actually) but he needs to develop a gunner’s mentality.

Let ‘em fly Payton! That’s what the team needs from you!

I'd like to see him used in off-ball movement sets now that we have Horford there greasing the wheels. He could get some easy shots

 Heck yeah Gouki. Tp. Nesmith needs to be a three point gunner too. We really need those kids to shoot volume at a nice clip.

Indeed, I'd start Nesmith to just space the floor for our Jays. Bring Richardson off the bench alongside Pritchard

 Not a bad idea at all. Although Richardson is supposed to provide some relief in Ball handling and playmaking.

I 100% want Nesmith starting.  Roll with the growing pains imo, it’ll be worth it in the end.
