Stack is pretty one-dimensional but he's still a valuable player. He was injured for part of the year and didn't have his legs. He's a clutch shooter, can get to the rim and shoot free throws and a he's good perimeter passer. That's his role. He's a streak shooter but when he's on he's tough to stop. Exactly what you want from a vet off the bench. They are usually "specialists" anyway. Brent Barry, P.J. Brown, Posey, Boynkins. They all do approx. 1 and a half things well. I mean Jarvis Hayes played virtually the same role for Detroit last year and by all accounts did a good job. Just by staying healthy and contributing off the bench he exceeded expectations. Yes Stack's getting old but can we really do better for 20 minutes a night? I'm sick of hearing "stack sux" with nothing to back it up. I really like Wright but stax still better than Wright or Green. Who would you want taking a 3 with us down by 3 with 20 seconds left in the 4th on the road at Phoenix? (Ok, other than Dirk or Jet).You can't teach clutch. You can't teach balls.
