Who do you have?

I've got Steph Curry because he's so dangerous from 3 that he provides that much more spacing for his teammates. He can shoot or make a great play.

5 seconds left means there's a huge chance that the player will be forced into shooting a long range shot. So yes, I'm taking Steph Curry.

If there's more than 10 seconds left, the player has enough time to break someone down and drive or kick it out to an open teammate so in that instance I'm taking Chris Paul.

Cold blooded Kyrie, CP3, or Lillard

Deron is a good choice, he's not quite as good a scorer/shooter as Curry but he's up there and he's a better playmaker than Curry is.

CP3. People forget that he is a good scorer come crunch time.

My only issue with CP3 is that while yes, he's a capable shooter from 3, he's not as good as players like Curry, Deron, Lillard, and Kyrie. Those shots would be for the win.

Not many coaches go straight for the win though, so yeah, CP3 is probably my very close second choice to Curry. Curry mostly because of how easily he can get a shot off from range.

Lillard can drive hard to the rim, shoot from anywhere and is seemingly fearless. My money's on him.

My only issue with Lillard is that his midrange game isn't as consistent as CP3, Curry, and Deron's and I think in a last shot scenrio, midrange is deadlier than a drive because of how well protected the rim will be.

yea I'd take Deron too because I think he can get a good shot. It's just a matter of whether or not he can make it. I also trust him to get the ball to someone else.

I think CP is close in there, too, but I feel that Deron can get a better look... even tho CP seems to be better at making 'bad looks' lately.

I've seen Curry get locked up in key situations against Raymond Felton :roll:

He is a great shooter, but he can't get open if a team plays great defense.

If memory serves, in his first two years in the league, Kyrie was in the top 3 clutch players in the league, regardless of position, according to 82games.

That has slipped a little this season, as have his scoring efficiency numbers in general, but that has less to do with what Irving brings to the table and more to do with the team and new staff taking time to mesh.

He still has the skillset you'd want in a guy taking the last shot... deadly three-point shooter, very good midrange game, excellent finisher in traffic.

Any guy that can beat you in all three areas of the court is going to be good with the ball in their hands and the clock ticking down.

I'd choose Curry because he can get off a good shot quicker from anywhere in the halfcourt than any other PG. CP is my fav PG but with 5 seconds left he'd have a harder time getting off a good shot than Curry especially since the other team would likely put a bigger defender on him. 10-15 seconds left tho, i'd choose CP.

Paul followed by parker.
I've forgotten if it was game 6 or 7 but that 3 he hit at the end of the shot clock when bron wasnt giving him an inch was crazy.
I still take paul first,
