Interesting follow-up to the Bud-JB thing. Bud said that JB had compared Buddy to Kyle Korver and Bud pointed out that Korver averaged 42.9% from three in the NBA, (and could have point ed out that Korver holds the single season record at 53.6%), while Buddy shot 36.2% in college, (and 34.1% last year). Korver shot 45.3% at Creighton, (and 48.0% in his senior year).

One problem: they played the clip, (after Bud was off), and JB hadn't compared Buddy to Korver. he's prepared Cole Swider to Korver, (not that the results would be different).

It did bring up an interesting question. Korver averaged 9.7ppg for his NBA career, with a high of 14.4. he was never his team's #1 option. Buddy certainly wouldn't be, either. Which is a bigger problem for a shooter: being double-teamed in college or being single teamed by someone other than the other team's best defender in the NBA?

(I really think Buddy can shoot it well enough for the NBA. I question whether he has the all-around skills they want and how well he could defend anyone.)
