Janis Timma

OK, maybe we are exaggerating a bit. Timma is nowhere near the superstar level of the Zinger and he is already 25 years old so it would be overambitious to expect major improvements in the future. On the other hand, the Latvian is an established player who posted excellent shooting numbers this season. During his 22 minutes on the court he averaged 7.8 points per game with 66% accuracy in 2 point shots and 41.4% when shooting the 3.

Like Adam Hanga above, his game would translate to a 3 and D player in the NBA. Unlike Hanga though, Janis Timma is more versatile as he can also post up with ease and defend bulkier opponents with his strong body. In fact, he should be able to guard both forward spots.

You can never have too many sharpshooters. Just ask the Houston Rockets about it.
