Can the Emmanuel Mudiay and Jeff Green experiments please end.

He also sucks more on offense can't shoot and is too stupid to run the team. Overpaying for a bust, keep believing. Mudiay is way better

Mudiay also can't shoot and is even worse at running the team. The guy can score, I'll give him that, but he's not running the offense or making his teammates better at all.

I don’t know about the running the team part... when Ex would run **** last year it was rough.

neither guy is what we’d ideally want but Mudiay is doing stuff.
 
I want to see the tyros play tomorrow: DedEx, Oni, Morgan, Brantley, Bradley, JWF, NWG. We need some load management for the vets.

You're right, I probably went a little overboard. I just get so frustrated watching the second unit. The lack of ball movement when Mudiay and Green are on the court drives me up the wall.

There's that vague 'doing stuff' again, as though that actually means something. You and all the Exum haters can analyse Exum's game to the nth degree, and highlight his every miscue, real or imagined, but you let Mudiay off the hook with 'he contributes' or 'he does stuff'.

Here's an example: Today Mudiay checked in to the game and with his first touch, turned the ball over before he crossed halfway and gave up a Burks dunk. If Exum had done that, it would have been three pages of posts in the game thread about how he can't dribble, but Mudiay does it? Not a single mention. Against Memphis, Mudiay started a drive, lost control of his dribble while not being guarded and it went out of bounds. Again, not a peep. And it's not like he never makes mistakes. He has 28 assists to 25 turnovers.

So what stuff does he do? He doesn't move the ball, and that's not just the eye test, stats back it up - he has the 3rd highest usage rate on the team, after DM and Bogey, and his USG is almost double that of Ingles. 1 in 5 of his possessions end in a TO. He takes proportionately more mid-range shots - the least efficient shot in basketball - than anyone on the team (although to be fair he makes them at a better rate than anyone, too, but they're still bad shots). And his 3Pt% is 28%. And as mentioned, he turns the ball over a lot.

In regards to this part of your post, mudiay has played in 11 games so far this year. In 8 of them he was a + in plus/minus. 3 games he was negative.
He is a +16 for the season so far. And that is while playing with our putrid bench. It's amazing that any non starter is a + in that stat this season.

Last night mudiay was a +3 (which was better than every starter) and is now a positive in 9 of 12 games. +19 for the season.
