From the same article:
LeBron James didn't make the cut, and while he is the superior player to all of the listed, he isn't nearly the same deep threat.
The article contradicts itself, which is why I don't cite BR.
I'm not seeing how this is a contradiction -- there's a difference between "superior player" and "superior shooter from deep".
Note that the article is from 2012, and LeBron was just starting to establish himself as a consistent shooter. His body of work from his first stint with the Cavs showed an inconsistent play who was shooting in the high 30% from outside 10 ft, and low 30% from three.
Well, this discussion was originally about Bass before Kozlodoev started talking about KG and we went on a tangent. Bass is a 13% shooter from 3pt range for his career.
The discussion was about what the Kings need, and if they're looking for a big to stretch the floor with his jump shot, there aren't many on the market that can do that more adequately than Bass.
