Good news for Tim, he might actually be the best shooter on the floor for the Pistons lol

When he's hot. When he was he was also the best shooter on the Mavs and on a lotta teams. When he's not.. well.. lol. These days that not is 90% of the time

Edit: to add. the fact that he doesn't do anything else is the reason he's unplayable on a good team. no defense. can't dribble. low iq. etc etc

This. You could edit season highlights to make it look like Timmy was our best player

That's what I was thinking - his shooting is actually valuable to the team potentially. He's either going to have a bounce-back season, or else the new whipping boy replacing Hayes as the guy the coach keeps playing instead of Holland or somebody. But there's big-time small ball opportunities - play Duren and Beef and Barley Stew at the 5, and then 4 wings and guards. Combat the lack of shooting with speed.
