Here’s a list of “good” three-point shooters currently on the Oklahoma City Thunder roster:
-Victor Oladipo
-Anthony Morrow
Ignore those other dudes who are shooting over 40% from deep on that team. Those dudes don’t count, because who the heck considers Joffrey Lauvergne or Jerami Grant good three point shooters? I don’t.
So the Thunder have only two real threats from deep, and Oladipo actually doesn’t even really count either because he was sucky in Orlando and players his age don’t usually improve. So they’re down to one. One real three-point threat on the whole team, a team which resides in a league where long-range shooting is of the highest importance.
Considering that fact, which we have determined to be factual through the rigors of the scientific method, why the heck doesn’t Anthony Morrow, the fastest gun in the West, get any minutes? Him being in a slump is an invalid answer; everyone knows that he’s the kind of player who gets better as his playing time increases. The Thunder commentators even mention that he has improved his defense (I wouldn’t know, because DownToBuck doesn’t care about defense), so that should mean he easily gets time as an elite 3-and-D sort of guy.
Billy Donovan can suck a rod. You want wins? Give Morrow some MOREow minutes, you fartface.
