I am not a fan of "shot chuckers". My definition of this player is one who takes a lot of bad shots (like low-percentage off-balance 3's early in the shot clock), that I basically count as turnovers. JR Smith is the perfect example and I don't ever want to see him in a Jazz jersey.
As for Ilyasova, is he kind of the same way. He takes a lot of shots that he shouldn't. He is great spot-up shooter but he doesn't seem to know that he should just limit himself to catching and shooting when open. Plus he is not fast, and I'm assuming you want to trade him to play the 3 since our logjam at the 4. That makes him a liability on defense at the 3, even with his height, in my opinion.
I don't think it is smart letting CJ walk in hoping that we will land Crawford. I also kind of consider Crawford a "shot chucker" but not one that would really bother me all that much because he can makes shots consistently even if he isn't all that smart with the possession. I agree it would be a major upgrade but how much would you pay him?
