Said it before and I'll reiterate We'll never be more than popcorn contenders with a midget being our best player
I agree.
Lol nobody on your team can drop 29ppg and 7apg, one of your leading scorers does pelvic thrust after 3's and you wanna yalk down on us .we're the 2 seed and getting a top 3 pick our future > Lakers future
You're enamored by simple stats. Fuck context. All the young players you gas play a shit ton of minutes in offenses where the green light is to put up shots. That's dope. They're really good/great players in situations where they can get theirs statistically.
I hate that Luke plays these niggas in damn near hockey shifts. And pulls our young guys off the court when they bullshittin on defense because at the end of the game you cats that don't know context will look at a box score and think you know what you're popping off. If these niggas sucked I would be banging the table to try to trade them while the stock is up but I watch every game that's far from the case. But I get it, dude actually developing them for how he envisions them long term. Our starters only run actual sets we rarely run simple PnR stuff with the starters. ISO pretty much never. It's a bunch of Horns sets, Chin sets, some motion weak, floppy. Basketball talk.
All the other lil niggas you gas can suck all they want on defense and they still play their 34+ mins jack up shots and you eat it up. Trust me if he let D'Angelo come down Green light every series and not pull him out if he misses a couple defensive assignments in a row he'd be putting up the same numbers scoring and better in other stats than the ones you gassing. It's statistically proof with that just not the simple ones you like. Prior to his injury a couple weeks ago he was shooting 50% on catch and shoot 3's. At this point of his career he isn't a great off the dribble shooter. he 90% only runs with the starting group of Nick,Ju, Moz and Deng there is no other half court facilitating besides him meaning he has to create everything which negates his scoring. Dude plays 26 mins a night. Part of that was the PRP injection shot minutes restriction but even before that it was 28.
Ingram shooting been terrible, getting to the lane fairly easily just to weak to finish hence his shooting pct. idk what's up with his free throws. But on defense the dude been a handful for some good wings in this league.That doesn't show in the box score. I get it. He's gonna be a guy that explodes Year 3 maybe even year 4.
Julius is Julius. I expect him to be a super role player at his apex.
Zubac has shown nice potential in little time.
Nance is already a really solid role player kinda fragile tho.
Clarkson developed serious tunnel vision & is actually the most disappointing one but to you he's probably the best one because he averages the most.
This fun though I'll put you on the summer jam screen individually when it's all said and done.
