Trevor Ariza of the New Orleans Hornets is shooting a lot of bricks

25-year old small forward Trevor Ariza is a good defensive  player but he just can’t shoot to save his life.  Ariza is shooting 39% from the floor, 29.8% from three point range and 69% from the free throw line so far this season.  He is going to need to improve his shot if he wants Chris Paul to pass to him more often.  Ariza has played in 19 games (all starts) for the Hornets so far this year and he is averaging 33.7 minutes, 11.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.6 steals per game.
