I'm wondering if mike gave the same footage of nash to felton when they sign him..he did it for duhon which help him out tremendously
Man people really are unsure about Felton. I think the LB style of play really hurt this guys rep. He's back in his element now and his shooting from everything i've seen and heard has really improved and isn't just a fluke. Guys you have to remember that MANY players come into the NBA with suspect shooting but develop the jumper during their career. He seems to be doing just that. As for the PnR, Felton is a PURE PG, i've never heard of him having any limitations when it comes to passing and setting up his teammates. From the practice videos i've seen he seems to be in full swing already.
Shooting is improved over last year IMO. We added guys that should be able to help spread the floor. Gallo, TD, AZ & Mason are very good shooters and with Rautins and Fields as situational subs, that should be enough coverage to keep the floor spread. The only question is will AZ be healthy enough to contribute this year. There's no question about his stroke.
