Re: Danny Granger Still Safe in Indiana?
In his first 9 seasons seasons Ray Allen has had about 4 seasons within his career where he shot at or below 43%. (he later would have two more seasons at or above that mark)
Danny has had 3 seasons in 9 years at under 43%.
Obviously Danny is nowhere NEAR the shooter that Ray Allen is, but fg% doesn't ALWAYS tell the story is my point.
Danny is a good shooter, not great, nor even very good. Just good.Comment

Re: Danny Granger Still Safe in Indiana?
Danny couldn't even hit open jump shots last year. A player like Danny should be hitting 45%+ from the floor. It used to be horrid shot selection as the reason his %s were declining and now it's the fact he struggles to hit uncontested jumpers. Good shooters just don't shoot at such poor levels as Danny. That's got to change if the Pacers want to get to the Conference Finals or beat Miami.Comment

Re: Danny Granger Still Safe in Indiana?
Danny had a horrid start to the season, which he never really could overcome. He ended the last two months with a .435 and a .46. In the last month he only shot worse than .400 twice.
Danny is a good shooter, especially an outside shooter which hurts his overall percentage because by their nature they are low percentage shots.Comment

Re: Danny Granger Still Safe in Indiana?
? Not sure what you're getting at considering Allen has been a consistently solid shooter throughout his career and is above 45%. Granger does not have such consistency and has shown nothing but decline in his shooting each year in the league. Everybody acknowledges this except for some of the Pacers fans on here.Comment

Re: Danny Granger Still Safe in Indiana?
Depends on what they go up to. Small fowards have no business consistently shooting below 45% like Granger does. If Granger can finally get at or above 45% for the first time in 7 years, then we may very well have a team that can legitimately compete for a title.Comment

Re: Danny Granger Still Safe in Indiana?
Just for comparisons sake...
In his first 9 seasons seasons Ray Allen has had about 4 seasons within his career where he shot at or below 43%. (he later would have two more seasons at or above that mark)
Danny has had 3 seasons in 9 years at under 43%.

You know Indy really isn't that dangerous a city, and apart from the Chicago/Gary area and a few near Eastside Indy spots, Danny could probably take a walk at midnight and not get bothered at all anywhere in Indiana. Unless he was mixed up with the Outlaws, likes hanging out in downtown Gary at 1 AM (or Club Rio), or has a blood feud with the Amish, he's probably going to be able to get by with just 1 security dude.Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.Comment

Re: Danny Granger Still Safe in Indiana?
Yea, players have poor seasons shooting the basketball, Reggie included... But what makes guys like Allen or Reggie the better shooter is the fact that those poor seasons are negated with great seasons. The poor shooting doesn't become a trend like it has with Granger. You won't find many outside the state of Indiana who feel Granger is a good shooter, because good shooters simply don't have 42%, 42%, and 41% seasons in the prime of their careers. Unless you consider Allen Iverson a good shooter...?Comment
