Lillard?

Not a great outside shooter at 34%. And their games really overlap, and most of the shooting bigs have already been taken. I can think of 1 really good 3/stretch 4, and tfivas better take him.

Oh it's a 2 PG system you're going for??


Wow.. that's cool bro. Thinking outside the box, I like it!!!!

I believe in positionless basketball and always have, never been of fan "traditional" basketball where you have to label a guy a 1-2-3 etc etc.....I want 5 guys that can make the pass, play good defense, and hit an open shot.

He's a bit of a chucker and isn't much of a floor general. But it's debatable whether the two remaining PGs, or even Bledsoe, are actually better. I personally don't think so.

Well said. I do think people pick and choose who is a chucker and who isn't though.

Lowry took 14.9 shots a game on 41% from the field.

Harden took 18.1 shots a game on 44% from the field.

Lillard took 16.6 shots a game on 43% from the field.

I don't think any of those three are chuckers at all, also 7.1 APG for Lowry speaks for itself. Harden and Lillard had high assists numbers as well.

Me too... I love it. But my concern is Jazzfanzers are pretty traditional... not sure how they will vote.


But yeah personally I love thinking outside the box basketball. I just like creativity in general.
 
Iverson had high assist numbers. So did Gilbert Arenas. Were they chuckers? Guess what, ball dominant players are generally going to get a decent number of assists!! Shocking news, I know.

Now I'm not sure I would call Lowry a chucker, but taking him over Conley when you have a guy like Melo? I just don't get it.
 
With the 49th pick in the 2015 Annual JazzFanz Current Players Draft, White Chocolate selects..

This I can agree with.

Well, and Burke took 13.2 shots hitting 37%. The difference between Lowry and Burke is about the same as that between Lowry and Harden. This is the NBA, taking 20% more shots while hitting 3% better FG% makes a big difference.

And there is the issue of shot selection. Lowry only hit 33.8% of his 3s, but still took 5.6 of them a game.

I'm not saying he's bad. He's an All-Star. But I am explaining why he is perceived as such relative to other PGs.

I'm also not a huge fan of Lillard, and I think it's absurd that he was taken before DWill in the all-NBA draft. I also took John Wall 50 spots LATER, and nobody was impressed. Even though Wall was deservedly picked earlier in this draft.
