Tight game and need a three. Who do you want to take the shot?

Hubbard can definitely shoot the rock and overall brings way more to the table with assists, ball handling, creating shots, etc. but for pure 3-point shooting I think I'd go with Claudell Harris.

He has a really nice looking stroke and seems to be more consistent in that area than Hub. That contested shot he made last night up 5 with about two on the shot clock was HUGE!

Nice to have several really good options!

As of the last few games, definitely Harris or Melendez.

We are so deep it's tough to say definitively who our best player is, but he's in the discussion. In the game thread I posted, "we need Claudell to hit one here" and not 10 seconds later he hit that shot. He's great.

Whoever is open. We have options.

MJ or Bird.

It’s still Hubbard. Go watch the end of the Kentucky game last year and try to sell me on anyone other than that guy taking the big shots in crunch time.

Our best player is Cam Matthews. But you're right, there's a lot of depth on this team.

The outside shooter with the open shot.

 

[WrightGuy821]

Having multiple reliable options to take a big three is unheard of here. I genuinely can't believe the depth of this team.

 

[Dawgg]

Melendez is becoming my favorite player.

Thru last night, Harris Jr now has a slightly better 3p% than Hubbard. 38.9% vs 38.2%...so both are fantastic.

As to the question...
- Based on recent play, I would want Harris Jr taking an open 3 at the end of the game. He has been significantly more consistent from deep over the last 5 games.
- But if its a contested 3, I would be fine with either Harris Jr or Hubbard shooting. And since Hubbard draws so many fouls beyond the arc, he may edge out Harris Jr on contested shooting.
