Any PG would be successful at running the pick n roll with Amare. Nash's value comes from his shooting which then opens up the floor for his passing because opponents must respect his shot so much.
And I ignored your comparison of McHale to other's FG% because we're not talking about other players vs McHale. We're talking about Amare vs McHale. This is what people were talking about when they said that nearly all your posts seem to be about McHale. Leave those other players out of this discussion.
Of course Amare would be successful with any PG in the pick and roll, Amare is a great player. He just wouldn't be nearly as succesful as he is with Nash.
And it's because fg% off pick and rolls and fg% off low post are two different things (obv the pick and roll one is higher, because they are only getting the ball for the most part when they are open). I'm sure u think Chandler is a great offensive player too, I mean he shoots 60 percent from the field lol.
When comparing McHale's fg% u need to compare him to other low post scorers, not to pick and roll only players for reasons I explained above. McHale wins vs all of them except Shaq.
