As bad as Wes has been his 3's at least make up for his poor overall shooting%. And he's not even shooting 3's very well compared to his career average.

Monta's best year with us he was .532TS% and last season and this season he is .509 and .508 respectively.

Wes last two years has been .588 and .586 and this season has fallen to .525 which is still better than Monta and almost as good as his best season with us. If Wes gets healthier next season it's not even close really. We may miss his penetration but we have a roster full of small's who penetrate honestly.

I don't want to get into this again, but certainly Monta shouldn't be judged just based on his true shooting percentage. His first season and a half he was a far, far superior player than Wes has been for us. Ellis was able to take over games in a way that Wes is simply incapable of doing. And Wes's defense has yet to make up for that gap. Still, I'm optimistic that Wes is headed in the right direction. He has looked markedly sharper the last couple of games.
