Salmons A Slow Starting Star

John Salmons, SG/SF, Chicago Bulls: One of the more underrated shooters in the Association, Salmons is hitting a hideous 36.1 percent of his shots this season. It's shocking, considering he averaged better than 47 percent from the field the previous two seasons. The good news is that little else has changed; the Bulls' roster is basically the same (minus Ben Gordon), he's playing the same minutes and taking just as many shots. He's obviously not going to average 36 percent for the season -- not even the worst shooter does. That means when he does find his shot and boost that percentage, we should see his scoring production bump back up toward 18 per game.
