    A guy shooting 17% from 3pt (.311 career) doesn't seem like a good fit for Stotts' system.

    Don't forget "a hero-baller who single-handedly makes his teammates worse".

    Kobe is his own "Kobe Stopper!" Kobe is shooting a dismal FG% this season. He maybe a leader in points, but the dude needs like 300 shots to score 10!

    I think it's awfully short-sighted to hold "Stotts' System" above everything else. Stotts may only be around for another year or two. And a system that's built around long jump shots is not a great system for building a championship team.

    Averages aside, the guy is a net minus; a true team killer.

    I don't see any indication that the Blazers are planning on dumping Stotts anytime soon. If Olshey makes a move like this, I guess the handwriting would be on the wall. Until, then you give the coach what he needs to be successful within his system. lance is not that guy.

    Well that and it seems Stotts is trying to implement more points in the paint this season.

    Not necessarily. Just saying that we shouldn't only look for "shooters" to fit Stotts' system. We're too overly reliant on shooters, and we could use some diversification.
    I haven't paid attention to Stephenson this season - sounds like he's doing horribly. However, perhaps we'd be better with him coming off the bench instead of CJ? I think Blake/Stephenson/Kaman off the bench makes us a much stronger team.

    I think our GM can do much better than Lance Stevenson to solve the problem of diversification. Lance isn't that good. In fact, he's actually horrid on the offensive end.
