mate the NBA 3 point line is between 2'(in the corners) and 4' longer than the NBA line. Trust me his range will be fine.

Metric conversion - roughly 60-120cms

his range is fine, its just a matter of him creating space for himself to get the shot off... which is a lot harder to do when you got players like ronnie brewer or shane battier hussling you...

in college he can be a scoring champ and set off all sorts of scoring records, in the NBA, he is just another Reddick or Marcus Thornton.

Yeah i agree he's not the 2nd coming of MJ but if he is as good as Reddick or Thornton (especially in this draft which is being talked up as an absolute stinker) that will see him get picked in the 10-15 range like i think.

omg I know this was brought up before but I can't help but bring this up again!!

The top 10 are virtual locks for Springfield but how can Steve Nash, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili be ranked so low!?!

MVsteve is a two time MVP and is closing in on 10k career assists before his career is over. Will pass Isiash Thomas in his next game to take 6th spot on all time assists.

Parker and Manu are 4 time NBA champions, closing in on 5 if they manage to win it this season, they are odd on favs to actually win it, we will see.

It's just a statistical formula right? I guess it doesn't give any value to mvp picks etc?

I don't see vince carter making the hall of fame...

Championship rings should not be a massive factor in making the HOF. Obviously winning one adds to the resume but a guy like Robert Horry who has 7 rings is in no way a HOFer.

There's a lot of factors that go into it but in my book Parker and Manu aren't there yet.

If you want a great read about this sort of stuff grab Bill Simmons "The Book of Basketball" - 700 odd pages of brilliance.
