Sully's Court: My favorite chuckers

Posted by Joe Sullivan, Globe Staff November 6, 2009 11:04 AM

Let it fly: Five players who like to have the ball but they won't hold it long ... because they're going to shoot it. My favorite five chuckers (as we used to call such a player back in the old days in Jersey). I love players like this which is hypocritical of me since I feel team play is the sport's most important asset. Shooters without conscience are charismatic, however.

LaceDarius Dunn, Baylor: He's capable of amazing streaks and, unfortunately, there is the opposite of that sometimes.
Jonathan Tavernari, BYU: He doesn't have the look of a basketball player. Sometimes it's gone so quickly it barely touches his hands.
Jeremy Hazell, Seton Hall: This season he'll be playing with a higher-caliber of teammates so it's going to be a test for coach Bobby Gonzalez to make him fit it. Last season, they needed him to bomb away.
Rotnei Clarke, Arkansas: He came off the bench most of last season. This season, he's got the all-clear. Hit four of six three-pointers in the Hogs' exhibition game.
Jon Diebler, Ohio State: Sometimes he's criticized for not making enough threes but I think he's going to have a big year behind the arc. In his senior in high school, he averaged 40 points per game.
