5. Who do you think wins the 3-point shootout?

Menze: Arron Afflalo. No real reason behind my answer. Curry and Love are the obvious choices; I think a dark horse wins it.

Donoho: Give me Kevin Love. The guy can shoot, and he’s won before. I’m sure he will be motivated to show up all these sweet-shooting guards.

Morton: I’ll go with the favorite in Steph Curry. The added flexibility with money ball placement will help the veterans in the competition pick out their favorite spot on the floor and will let Curry to bring home the title.

Blue: I’m going to go with a sleeper pick here and say Bradley Beal. I get the feeling we’ll see Beal and Stephen Curry in the championship round, and Beal is capable of coming out on top.

Perry: Joe Johnson. Gut feeling. He’s one of the most clutch players in the league and I feel like the new money ball rack format will really help him in that regard.
