Zach Randolph is falling in love with the three-point shot. D'Antoni is okay with the big man stepping outside but only to a point. "I told Zach that Pace University wanted to retire his jersey because he had the most three-point shots in the history of Pace," D'Antoni said. "He kind of got in the spirit of an open practice."

You can count on that. And he will brick more than half of them too.

If he bricks half of them then hell be shooting like 50% kid! Nice!

He should take it when he has a very open shot, which he will at times with this offense. He's shot between 25 and 30% for most of his career. If he works on the shot and takes advantage of the open opportunities, he'll shoot more and make a respectable percentage.

who would you rather have shooting threes, Q or Zach?

Look at Rasheed Wallace & Donyell Marshall. Bigs that shoot the three can be dangerous.

Zach is probably one of our better, all around shooters.

Who on the roster is better? Nate & probably Gallo. Q has never shot a high %. Neither has Crawford. Marbury is o.k..

Heck, if he develops a 3 pt shot, his trade value should eek up.

All good points. Remember even the Oakman started taking and hitting 3s for us in the early to mid 90s and it actually got to the point where I wanted him to take them. If it's there, Zach's gotta take 'em. He's a scorer, don't restrict him. Let him go out there and do his thing. Ever 3 he's taken so far in the pre-season has been in rhythm.

listen, if i was d-antonti...would def let curry take like 15, 20 threes a game, like the red baron
