This particular awful jump shooter sure had it going last night on short jumpers around the basket.
Further, the Pistons drafted Darko for his range. If you wanted to use him like Sheed, to jack up a bunch or threes, I bet you would find him more than capable. (Of course, instead Darko has had a series of coaches who will not let him shoot outside shots. Not that Darko was being picked on or anything. Hill in Orlando made Howard quit taking any jumpers.)
I have personally seen Darko drain threes on the run, like it was nothing. On many occasions. First try. Yes, he can shoot the ball.
