I think Pendergraph is 100% of the player Hill will ever be, but so much of success is the system a player is brought into. A guy like Daye for example is getting a lot of hype for his size and shooting and intangibles. Just like a few years ago a guy named Shawne Williams was all the rage. He was a 6'9" first rounder by the Pacers (17) and has never seen the light of day since.... Some of these guys will get drafted, buried on the bench and be out of the league in 3 years. I somehow think maybe a Jrue Holiday might be the guy playing in Europe in 2012...

Like Westbrook. They are both shots to improve or reduce. A Durant mid-range shot is worth the same on average as a 3 jacked up by a guy shooting 27%. Like Westbrook.

And I'd say you can go for that and try to get all the way inside for the shot or the foul but except when the shot clock is short in most cases skip the pull-up and pass it back out. And going to the hop doesn't necessarily mean low on 3 point attempts. I'd want to pull him way down from taking almost 60% of his shots from mid-range.

Go for the bigger payoff. Get an inside shot or a 3 pointer... or pass the ball and keep looking til at least 10 on the shot clock. Then take what you can get. Hopefully a clean enough look at a 3.
