6. Who will lead the Jazz in 3 Point % this season?
Haslam – Hayward- A few guys could be the leader here but Hayward works harder. I expect somewhere between 40-45%.
R. McDermott – Brandon Rush. I think this is going to be his role and he’s going to be dang good at it.
L. McDermott – Gordon Hayward. He’s going to shock and awe the NBA this year. His shooting continues to improve and he’ll get more opportunities to shoot 3’s without Foye taking them all.
Newman – Brandon Rush. We haven’t seen him play in a year and Jazz fans might not have seen much of him at all but if you look back at this guys stats you see he’s deadly. I think coming off the bench as that guy to give the team a spark will be his best roll but he also could start. I’m excited to see him play.
Anderson – Gordon Hayward. He’s had a nice 3P% in all three years of his career, and now has an opportunity to continue that trend and capitalize on his three point touches.
Powers – I’m thinking Brandon Rush will win this one. IF HEALTHY, Rush is one of the better 3 point shooters in the league. He has always been a 6th man off the bench and he will know his role with this team. He could be a better version of Randy Foye if he stays healthy.
