who takes the last shot?

Postby LA_Mustang » Mon Nov 07, 2016 12:25 pm

We all know that guy was Sir Sic Nic the past couple of years but who is the guy now? I think it is the biggest question coming into this season. No doubt Shake will have have the ball in his hands but will the play be for him to create and shoot, or dish to Semi or Sterling? Should be interesting to see who steps up late game from this group.

Hot hand but I say drive shake and kick to sterling or vice versa. Good news is that the defense is going to have to make a guess this year. If we have shooters all over the floor then pick your poison. I like our chances regardless.

I would vote Shake for taking the last shot. Put the ball in his hands and allow him to create try to get a jumper or drive and if they collapse dish it out to open man or Run a pick and Roll/Pop with Semi.

this will be one of the questions that will need to be answered this year. None of these guys have been the "go to" guy and we have been fortunate to have had Nic the past 3 years. I would agree that Shake, Sterling or Semi are the most likely candidates but we will just have to wait and see who really wants the ball at crunch time

I'm hoping Wilfong takes the last shot in 90 percent of the games.

btw, based on the few times I'm seen the guys practice and from what I've been told, Wilson could be a clutch guy in the future. He is fearless.

So am I but I cannot shoot. I like the Wilfong option.

I am waiting for a Mrydelism such as the person holding the ball last
