I'll say it, 7.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.5 assist in 33 minutes is terrible. I don't hate the guy but he was the worst full time starter in the league last year and from a basketball perspective we haven't missed him one bit. I'm happy to see him getting minutes but he's about a mediocre as it gets. Dude hasn't scored over 15 points since late November. His defense is all he's good for and he's slightly above average there.

Ya he would have been better for us off the bench I think. He got gassed playing huge minutes and trying to guard to many dudes in too many different positions. His best attribute was his high energy. Probably could have stayed high energy in a smaller role off the bench. Problem is that our defense was so bad that we needed someone in the starting lineup who at least gave effort on defense and Royce did that. I think he was/is a good defender but since he was our only defender on the perimeter he looked worse than he was as we had him defending players that he shouldn't have been asked to defend.
Overall i agree with you though. He wasn't very good for an nba starter on a contending team. Thats the thing though. You and i think that but there will probably be a poster or posters who will call us stupid idiots and talk about how great he was. Its subjective.

The main thing though is that jazz fans in as a whole dont hate Royce Oneal.

He has been handing out the insults like candy lately no doubt. I have been called many things over the last week by Cy. Hadn't been called Bozo yet so congrats on that. He changes up the insults at least. gotta give him credit for creativity.

Got to change it up because Elizah likes to copy me like a little brother

The main thing with Royce last year is that he fell off drastically on the defensive end of the court. He went from a good defender to a somewhat mediocre defender at times and defense is mostly about effort. I really haven't watched any nets games this year so I have no clue if his effort has gotten back to what it used to be. Judging by his assist numbers he seems to have improved as a play maker though.

Cy is just one of those angry racists. I'm not sure how he became a jazz fan or if he actually lives in Utah but he enjoys calling us all racists.

Lmao. If you feel like it's directed towards you then there's probably a reason for that
 
Royce was flat out undervalued here. I've always been a fan of his game and knew he could do more. I'm glad to see him doing that. The board simple simons can't take that.
 
Brooklyn did a masterclass on the defensive end. They disrupted the offball offense, manhandled Lauri without putting him on the line. That alone took away 9 to 10 points.

Because he's doing so much for The Nets.

Edit: on second thought he does certain things decently but as fish and I agreed he's not starting material. To me, he's a valuable role guy not some 30+ minute starter.

No question that the Nets have proved that Royce was worth that first they gave for him. The general consensus here prior to the trade seemed to be that he had lost a step. In that respect, I think that both he and Bogey have vindicated themselves. My own belief is that Snyder had a tendency to overplay his starters and that ironmen like Royce and Bogey were just battle fatigued.
