Van Gundy, whose three-point shot resembles that of a young Craig Hodges, was announced today as one of six Three-Point contestants during a press conference in Dallas. Van Gundy will be joined by defending champion Daequan Cook(notes) of the Heat, rookie Brandon Jennings(notes) of the Bucks, Matt Bonner(notes) of the Spurs, Anthony Morrow(notes) of the Warriors and Bulls coach Vinny Del Negro — if he isn’t fired by then.

Morrow. Let’s just get that out of the way. I get that Daequan shot well. I do. But it’s Morrow. In fact, I’d put money on it. Why am I so sure? TO HOOPDATA, my friends!
Morrow has the highest eFG% of all guards, playing at least 20 minutes per game, having played at least ten games, at 65%. He makes the fourth most three pointers per 40 of that set, so he’s not only a high percentage shooter, but a high volume, high percentage shooter. Have I mentioned again how angry I am that he’s stuck on the Warriors? Chris Paul is better from 3pt land, but he’s not in the contest, now is he?
As for Van Gundy, I think it’s awesome that he’s doing it and willing to be a part of the fun. I just hope he makes it to the Final.
