In the feed-the-hot-hand shooting system the Golden State Warriors have put in place since the arrival of head coach Steve Kerr, anyone can be the star at any given time, even perhaps the least talked about starter in their rotation, Zaza Pachulia.

Pachulia told Anthony V. Slater of the San Jose Mercury News that he has a simple goal after teaming up with the Splash Brothers:

“My goal is to make one three-pointer this season.”

Let's remember that even Andrew Bogut made a three-pointer last season for the Warriors, going 2-for-2 from downtown in his four-year stint with the team.

Zaza has some big shoes to fill.

Pachulia is a considerably better shooter than Bogut, as the Australian international only shot 48 percent from the line last season, while Pachulia shot a 76.8 percent clip from the charity stripe.

While he surely won't get the same number of attempts from deep compared to the rest of the roster (having the three best three-point shooters in the NBA will do that to you), Pachulia's bound to find himself open from beyond a few times during the season thanks to the Warriors' motion offense. If they've already secured the win, Zaza might as well let it fly.
