Interesting stat the announcers shared during one of the SL games:

RJ Hunter shot the second-highest percentage (45.8%) on wide open threes in the league, right behind Steph Curry (46.2%).

If we ran the offense for RJ like we did for Ray Allen, running him off of picks to get him open shots he might actually produce.

People act like running him off picks are an easy task. It takes a lot of agility, and stamina to run through picks like Allen did. Allen may not have been Westbrook athletically, but he had an knack for finding openings that most shooters to this day couldn't. Its a good thing Bradley learned a thing or two from Allen at least. But Hunter is slow as molasses, and I would say Young could fare far better than Hunter in that same exact scenario.

Ahem ;D -
