Hardaway is not on the poll because while he is a CLUTCH 3-point shooter, he is not a GOOD 3-point shooter. Sometimes I wish that Nelson would tell Hardaway that he can only shoot the 3 when it will either tie or take the lead, or when its the last 2 minutes of the game. Because Tim-bug will hit most of those, but miss most of his others.
Dirk, meanwhile, has not been having a great year shooting 3's. He's still the best shooting 7-footer and still clearly a long-range threat, but his percentage is not as impressive as last year.
Nash--well, Nash still gets overlooked occasionally.
