Can Garrison Matthews or AJ eventually replace Heurter's shooting and production? ?production

[FL_BRYANT]

With the trade of Heurter the Hawks can use some three pt shooters . Can AJ or Matthew's replace Heurter's production and three pt shooter.

I think they both have potential as shooters but can they match or exceed  KH's shooting. 

The Hawks have to address shooting and size to truly become a playoff contender. 

The off season should be very interesting !!!

Sure, I don't see why not. Comparison between Heurter's last year as a Hawknand AJ this year.

I think we already have replaced it.

I've slowly started to come to peace about the Huerter trade -

1. Bogi is better in the roll as 6th man. For whatever reason, it just never worked for Kevin.
2. We probably don't get Bey if Kevin was still here along with Bogi/AJ.
3. Hopefully that FRP returns us something of value.

[NBASupes]

Bey replaced the need as an elite floor spacer. Griffin nor Bogi are or likely will be elite floor spacer but are PDS guards which are promising or very productive

What does PDS mean?

And totally agree, Kevin's role has been filled - Bey makes the Sac hit hurt a lot less

@akay PDS=pass, dribble, shoot

Bogi - 40.6% from 3 on 6.7 attempts 

AJ - 39% from 3 on 3.6 attempts

Bey - 40% from 3 on 5 attempts

[Spud2nique]

Griff is gonna be the man. He’s gonna be elite and with that body. We did really well to get him.

That's shooting. When I say floor spacers. They are constantly moving and creating space for others. Bogi and Griffin love to stand around way too much. You got the extreme guys like Steph, Klay, and Kyle who are elite at movement for guards. Matthews is really good at movement but he's a streaky shooter.
