That's not funny. I just explained to you why skiles hasn't been playing ben. It serves no point when the game is pretty much already decided by the fourth quarter. Ben typically is the last guy pulled from a game, he usually is always in the 4th quarter.

Coaches at the college level or even in the high school level just don't seem to teach or stress shooting anymore. They seem to focus more on playing team D (which is good) and player's individual athleticism and stuff.
IMHO, when you are getting paid playing ball, I think you should at least work on your shooting; especially when you are in the NBA. I mean, come on, you can't even make a 15-ft shot from the foul line with NO defender on you?  |
yeah, and how well do those guys play d when they come over here to the nba? The game is different here. It is dependent on athelticism, defense, passing, and yes shooting. Some guys aren't great shooters. it's that simple. They offer something else to the game other than shooting. The nba is not just about shooting. Ben was never drafted. he was given a shot at the nba because of his rebounding and defense. There is no way you can tell me he is not one of the most effective players out there. Outside of shooting this guys does everything else, including stuff that does not show up on the stat sheet.
