Using his own formula, John Hollinger, a columnist for ESPN and the New York Sun, says the Nets have done themselves a world of good this off-season in hiring shooters, real shooters. Hollinger said that other than Jason Kidd, Vince Carter, Richard Jefferson, Nenad Krstic and Zoran Planinic, last year's team was filled with guys who could not shoot the rock. This year's off-season acquisitions however change that metric dramatically. The two best pick-ups? Scott Padgett and Marc Jackson.
