High/Low Expectations: Jason Kapono
Jason Kapono #72 SG/SF
Best case: Jason Kapono regains his 2006-2007 form where he shot 51, yes, 51 percent from beyond the arch. Jason's team won the NBA finals that season. The Sixers won't necessarily win the championship if Kapono shoots 51 percent from three, but odds are they will at least make it past the first round. There's no telling what his ability to stretch the floor will do for the likes of Andre, Thad and Elton. One thing is for sure; when Kapono is on the floor, the Sixers will have a legitimate technical foul shooter -- something they've been missing since Korver.
Best case stats: 10 points, 50% from the field, 50% from three, 90% from the line.
Worst case: Kapono's percentages continue to decrease as they have in the previous three seasons, he absolutely cripples the defense while he's on the floor, and takes on the "Kareem Rush role" as the player who was supposed to stretch the defense and rain in threes when called upon, but sits on the end of the bench and shows absolutely no emotion instead.
Worst case stats: 5 points, 43% from the field, 39% from three, 80% from the line.

Tomorrow is the first pre-season game. Does anyone know if it’s on TV? If it is, does anyone plan on watching it?
yahoo is claiming it’s on the raptors tv network (i assume that’s what the “rapt” means)

search p2p nba on yahoo and follow the 1st link.

I don't see him being terrible for the team.
At least in the sense that he’s not Kareem Rush. I also think there’s a better chance that Jordan knows how to use him than say Dileo with Rush.
I don’t think he’ll be shooting 50% from the perimeter, or even 45%, but I would be very happy if the team has a guy who can hit 100 threes a season at 40-42%.
On the defensive side, I also hope that the other four players around him can play good enough D that his presence won’t hurt the team. Here’s to hoping…
his number is REALLY 72?
That’s just stupid
Don't frack with me or you'll get a punch in the kidneys...you've been warned
