Eric Gordon isn't even a starter... LOL ..
Yes, pretty close if they were wide open and all of the shots were assisted. I think there are enough good shooters in the league if that is all they are asked to do and have the kind of space and lack of pressure he has they could do that.
I really like Klay and think he can do more, but again, he does not.
Nobody in the NBA gets as many open assisted shots as Klay. He is having an extra special year shooting from 3. But that is literally all he is doing. I think Hood could be pretty close to those numbers as well if he never had to create and had open shots like that.
Yet his team is within a couple games of GS this season and he is a large reason why, especially since he has started a bunch and stepped up with CP3 missing games. He creates a lot more of his own shots, waaayyyy more than Klay does.
Again do you think GS is 4X better in the regular season this year than Houston?
LOL .. Harden, CP3 and Capela are the main reasons they're right up there with GS. They are unbeaten with those 3 in the lineup.
Gordon is a solid role player and gap filler when either CP3 or Harden are injured, nothing more.
BTW Wes actually has had Eric Gordon on his fantasy team for 2 years in a row now. If anything he should be pumping his player - so I tend to believe him when he says Klay is better.
Yeah, I already said Klay is better. That does not mean he is doing more.
GS would have the same record or fairly close without Klay. He has two MVP caliber players carrying him he is the 4th best player on his team.
Look how good a borderline NBA talent player Ian Clark looked.
So you think called Capella should get in over green then since he is a bigger part of his team being about the same record as GS?
Or do you think cp3 and harden are better than Durant and Curry?
So Klay should be penalized for having too many All Stars in his team?
You can't just compare win/loss record straight up like that as you have to take into account the level of competition each team faced, how many injuries there are, etc.
CP3 did not play enough games in my view to be worthy of a selection. Capella while very good isn't yet playing at Green's level.
They faced the same level of competition and I guess you are right Rockets have had far more injuries so they deserve more players on the all-star team because they have done the same amount with less.
Yes, if he does not do enough to warrant being an all-star.
Players like Booker should be penalized for their W/L record because they dont have more all-stars on their team?
