I'm assuming you meant who takes those shots. My answer would be literally anyone else on the roster. For some perspective Felton is taking 16.3 shots/game while shooting 40.1%; Chris Paul has never shot more than 16.1 shots/game and he shot 48.8% and 50.3% both years; Steve Nash has never taken more than 13.6 shots/game and he shot 46.5% that season; last season the bloom came off the rose of Deron Williams when took 17.5 shots/game and shot 40.7%; Tony Parker, a shoot first PG, took 17.5 shots/game one year and shot 50.6% and last season he took the second most shots in his career at 14.8 and shot 48%.

This year Felton is playing more like Marbury and Steve Francis. For their careers they took 15.7 and 14.4 shots/game while shootig 43.3% and 42.9% respectively. What we need from Felton is for him to start playing more like Derek Fisher, a guy who shot 40% for his career but only averaged more than 10 shots/game twice when he took 10.2 and 10.8 shots/game in each of his two years with the Warriors.

anyone on the roster? he's got two starter shooter 43 and 38% and a sixth man shooting 41.

Even Novak is somewhere around 41-42.

I know it's easy to say Felton isn't shooting well, it's true on that, but really there is hardly anyone shooting well right now.

There are 3 players on the roster shooting worse than Felton at 40.1%. Brewer's shooing 38.9%; Sheed is shooting 38.8% and is sitting on the bench; and Marcus Camby is 1-7 on the season. Meanwhile, Melo, Copeland, Kidd, and Novak are all shooting better from 3 than Felton is overall.

Yeah, anyone! He's the least efficient scorer on the roster. He should be taking closer to 7 to 9 shots a game - just when he's wide open.

Exactly. His last year in Charlotte he averaged 12 ppg on 10 shots/game while shooting 45%. All the analysts and writers were talking about what a steal he was and he was secretly really good and was a real leader on the floor. No one says that about Felton now that he puts up shots like he's Iverson.

I don't think many here see Felton as a guy that doesn't have flaws. However, I think you have to consider and hope that this is related to bone bruises on each of his hands and his pinky injury.

Unless his head was also bruised, it doesn't make sense.

And honestly 39 40 42 43 is all terrible in the same boat from the field, so his option aren't exactly doing much better.

Felton shot 26.3%, 5-19, from the field today. That's not even in the same ocean.

There was alot of bad shooting today. Regardless, he is being told to shoot.

Start Pablo against Phoenix.
