Wouldnt mind a specialist like him or korver on the clippers though off of the bench...

yeah, you're right, he's only a decent shooter.....he only
led the league in 3pt% in 06-07 at 51.4%, and shot 48.3% this year.....
he's only a back-to-back winner of the 3 point shootout, and tied the shootout record of 25 points set in 1986 by mark price....
so i guess he really doesn't have that quick of a release, and his shot must not be very consistent....
and here is one thing about his "catch and shoot" abilities, not to mention his quick release:
Quote:
NBA science tells us there must be at least 0.3 seconds left on the game clock for a team to successfully get off a jump shot. (Yes, the Trent Tucker rule.) If there's less time on the clock, you can only score on a tip or alley-oop. (Unless, of course, you're playing in Atlanta. )
But guess what? Jason Kapono laughs in the face of science....... Observe.

Kapono defies the 0.3 second rule
and who said anything about scoring??? you only mentioned 4 set criteria in terms of
shooting, and kapono fullfills all 4.....
Quote:
"his left handed shooting stroke is probably the quickest in the game."
"One of the game’s most prolific shooters "
"Has one of the quickest, purest, and most consistent releases in the League"
"One of the best catch and shooter players around."

where in that list is scoring mentioned???
kapono does everything on the list....only he's right handed...
