Rod's shot selection was better than Westbrook. He had a good mid-range game and was better around the rim. Just wasn't a good 3 point shooter and he rarely took them. The lack of three point shooting would hurt and make him less effective than he was in his time, but I think he could hang in this era.
Rod Strickland would eat in this era

Lots of PGs eat minus being a good 3pt shooter. His mid game was suspect.

Yeah that decision was crazy because rod was clearly the better player but mark was more of a company dude.
I remember one of my partners was in Buffalo one night and called me saying he saw Strickland posted up with 3 bad redbones like it was nothin...the knicks had played in the Garden earlier that day...my man was like

Nah
Rod was not a good shooter. It wasn’t about the lack of a three-point shot, he didn’t have a good jumper.

Rod couldn’t shoot his midrange was nowhere near Westbrook
His bread and butter was breaking down the defense/playmaking, ball handling, and finishing among the trees below the rim
Nick had bad shot selection. Saying he wasn’t a good shooter is just a lie though.
Rod Strickland could hoop, but he seems to be the go-to player to overhype as some great player. Trust me, he was a non-factor as an NBA player. I grew up in that era and I really don’t remember him like that.
