Memphis Has A Big 3
Last year Ja was the only star on the team and as expected he is even better this year. His scoring, assist and more importantly 3 point % is all improved. It didn't take long for Chris Mullin to become a star if for nothing else then the recognition being drafted 2nd overall. He is at 19 a game and shooting over 40% from deep on 6 attempts per game.
It now appears like we have our 3rd member of the big 3 in Brandon Clarke. He is having a breakout type season averaging 18.8 points, 10.2 rebounds while shooting 54% from the field and 44% from 3 in 31 minutes. He is still a offense first player, but he has improved on defense and is respectable guarding the perimeter. He is also athletic which is always a plus.
They make for a fun trio on offense with Ja's ability to drive and finish at the rim. Then you have Chris shooting ability to stretch the defense. Brandon can shoot and score inside and can post up some on smaller 4's. They are definitely a offense big 3 and while they aren't world beaters on defense are a becoming a heck of a trio on offense. Its a huge reason why Memphis is 14-5 with the best offense in the league.
We are currently taking request for nicknames with the leader in the clubhouse being "Run MMC".
