Rip could pretty easily average 17-20 points a night.
I call that impact.

Not on the Bulls, he's inefficient as fuck and wouldn't get to sit there chucking like he did with the Pistons.

And he also wouldn't be getting nearly as many buckets as Rip says he would without chucking.

I can guarantee you he would score 17-20 a night.
He is the best mid-range shooter in the game.

You know, I don't like this. If your going to do it, atleast be a man and skip the game.

No wonder Kuester's so terrible, he has to work with crybabies like this.

He's had one season of elite shooting and that was like 5 years ago.

And his decline can be accredited to not playing next to a real PG. Rose is a real PG.
Rip is very dependent on who gets him the ball.

If you're a good shooter, you're a good shooter, it doesn't matter who is passing you the ball. He just can't hit the same shots he used to make, regardless of who is dishing it to him.

Yeah but it affects where you are shooting from.
Believe me, he can.
I highly doubt you've watched Rip religiously like I have. In this case the numbers do lie.

You can tell his heart isn't in it anymore in Detroit.

I'll go ahead and say, even if you are a good shooter you still have to have someone passing you the ball in all the right spots, and finding you when your open.

Exactly.
Stuckey didn't do that.
Billups did. So obviously Hamilton looked much better with Chauncey.

But it's not like he fell off the map, he was averaging like 18 without Chauncey still. His % just went down.
Plus he hasn't been healthy like he used to be.
