What's new

Bojan is a poor man's....

I see them both as good shooters but Peja just seems like he has a quicker release, is much more mobile, and is generally just a more intuitive player. Bojan is more deliberate and robotic/stiff. He’s also a straight line guy and you see Peja moving in all directions to get free... he’s just a much more diverse shooter imo.
You're also looking at Peja highlights from when he was the 1st option on the team.

Bogey's role is very condensed right now. His shot profile is probably more limited than what he is capable of.

But yeah, the comp is poor Peja was a movement guy off screens for the most part as his bread and butter. Bogey has been a catch and hold guy most of his career. He needs to get his feet set and use his body to create his shot.
 
that's why i call him poor man's peja. Or Dallas' Peja. Peja was an underrated passer in his Sacramento years too. and i talked about this in Udoka's thread about us needing a more dynamic shooter like Bane because we have way too many static/one-dimensional ones that are easy for the opponents to stop.
Ahh yes, the NBA team that leads the league in attempts and is 3rd in percentage is easy to stop from 3.

You are really a professional moron.

Try that again in the playoffs. Bucks and Rockets were the leading teams in 3pt made in the regular season the last two years, and guess what happened to them during the playoffs?

As bad as Bojan has seemed to be he is still shooting at 40% from 3, or just below. He still is respected and must be guarded because of that. We are just expecting automatic Bojan, where he has been more streaky this year than last. I think he will be fine come playoff time when we will need him most.

Plus I hope he unloads tonight against the Fakers. They need to go down.
 
I want to trade him over Niang. How's that for disrespect?!#
I mean, I dont think wanting to trade Bojan is a terrible idea if you can put forth a good trade idea. Hell I advocated to trade Bogey this off-season. I didnt do it because I think he sucks or anything. The dude is great and a serious offensive weapon that is going to be a huge piece to exploiting switching defenses. But I just dont think mid-season trades are that great of an idea when you give away big pieces like that. The Jazz are rolling beyond my expectations, so disrupting the team to that extent seems like a bad move IMO.

Both those teams shot higher percentages in the playoffs than the regular season last year so I really have no idea what point you're trying to make.

Higher percentage you mean in that Heat series where Milwaukee shot 32% on 54 makes versus Heat's 37% on 75makes?

Heat took away Bucks 3pt shot and what do we have here? A 4-1 gentleman's sweep. Do I have a point here? Hell yeah

Even the Lakers that were ranked 24th in the league on 3pointers, matched Houston in their playoffs series. Houston made 75 threes on 204 shots in that series whereas Lakers made 61 out of 162 on their own. Taking away Houston's biggest strength in 3pt shooting and what do we have? Another gentleman's sweep. Do I have a point here? hell yeah

I looked at their entire playoff performance because it's the larger sample size. If you really think a 5 game sample size says anything then I dont know what to tell you dude. Some teams just run into unfavorable matchups , sometimes coaches get outcoached or they overcoach, or their players simply don't perform.

I also don't know what to tell you if you think being a great 3pt shooting team is somehow a weakness.
 
This x10000

It's really a new low for Jazzfanz trolls/low IQ individuals when we have to make a scapegoat while we have the best ****ing record in teh NBA.
The Bogie comments aren't about low IQ or hate. He hasn't played that well this season. Sure injury. I get it. But the fact remains that he has played below his abilities.

The best Bogie trade we could make is Bogie for returned to form Bogie. But until he does that, you shouldn't be shocked or belittle those who hope for more from him because he is clearly capable of more.
 
After the Wally, Peja, and other comps, the funniest thing is that his best comp is really Niang. Weird that we have two of the BojaNiangiest players in NBA history. We really wanted that stretch 4 so we went out and got 2 hoping one would stick.

Guess its a good problem to have.

For those who poo poo'd the Tobias Harris trades in the off-season though, I still believe he would have been a better fit defensively without giving up much if anything offensively. And he is having a great year.
