Thirdy shoots 27% from 3 this season. In FIBA, however, he shoots 34.5%. Weird case. And the shooting problem can be remedied a bit. Problem is, we will need a shooter at 1, 3, and 4 to compensate for his lack of shooting.
But you can say the same for players in his position like CJ Perez, who has the same tools on offense, but worse defense.
Well, maybe if we have Dwight R. & Oftana playing the 3 spot, a Kevin Q. playing as both the 3 & 4 spots, a Jordan Heading playing the 2 spot, we will have enough shooters in the team already that having a slashing wingman like Thirdy with suspect 3-pt shooting won't really hurt the team. I'm really thinking of molding Thirdy into like a Chris Newsome, who is also athletic like Thirdy & with suspect 3-pt shooting as well. Newsome though is a defensive gem & has that deadly mid-range pull up jumper. I think Thirdy should polish his mid-range shot & further improve his defense.
