I don't want to turn this into another Cooney thread, but what are all of these other things he brings to the table?  He does seem to have improved his handle, and ability to drive, but that's not really saying much since he was pretty poor beforehand.  I have always said his defensive abilities have been over rated.  He consistently gets beats off the bounce.  I have always felt Cooney would best be suited for a 6th man roll.  He really isn't going to hurt you, but he can't be depended on for consistency, something you want out of your starters.  In a 6th man roll he can come off the bench, fire up some threes, and see what happens.  If he gets hot, he stays in, if not, then back to the bench.  Sure that's not happening with this team, but in a perfect situation that's what he would be best at.  It would relieve him of any pressure of carrying the team, which could help his mindset, and in turn his shot.  Either way you slice it's tough having an inconsistent Cooney be a 35-40 minute guy on a very successful team.  Of the top 10 teams, which one would you see Cooney playing 30 minutes + on?
