I think that we as Toronto fans are making to much out of Ford's "bad shooting".
After looking at his stats from his two seasons of play you can see a solid increase in both fg% and three point% .416 and .337 are not that poor! How many players in the league avrage 50% not many...so if TJ has a small increase again for this season and moves up to say .435 and .360 is he any worse than 95% of the other starting points in the league?

On a side notehis 4.3 boards per game are great for a guard and even better for a guard his size!

Just to throw this out there....

Billups career % .410fg .388 three point%
Sam Cassell .456fg .355
Jay Kidd .402 .332
most of us are actually excited hes coming, and we know that his shooting will get better...plus he s got many good shooters around him, so he wont be the first shot option like mike james was or thought he was...this years gonna be exciting, even tho i wish charliev was still around... could ve been alot of alley oops thrown to him this year..
