Do you know how he shot in the Summer League so far? That'll be an interesting stat.

Hes shooting better than Malcolm Thomas whos more than 2 years older, which is really what counts.

He's a skinny SF whos grabbed 12 and 15 rebounds in his last 2 SL games.

Which shooting SF's on the market do you prefer? Beasley has the best %, then there's Wesley Johnson at 37% but hes injury plagued and turning 28.

Also looking at SL stats without watching the games is truly an exercise in futility. For you to try and draw concrete conclusions about his 3pt shooting from that is laughable.

who are you to make those type of assessments off of such little information, some sort of noted expert??

LOL .. bro, it's all just part of the assessment, I'm not making conclusions based on those numbers or anything like that.


In Summer League play thus far he's played 9 games in total (plenty of opportunities to shine), he's 6/23 from 3pt, 26%, safe to say he's not exactly Kyle Korver (Who would be perfect for our team this year IMO).

HA HA! Can you imagine a front court of Boozer and Jefferson?

I can't see why they Charlotte would want Boozer? They've drafted pf's top ten the last two drafts, and Al and Boozer would make up the softest front court tandem in the league.

I guess I am not as high on Burks as a starter and Hayward as a starting SF. I think that's a downgrade from our starting SG and SF from last year.

Again, I'm not nearly as high on Burks as everyone around here is. I think Hayward is a much better starting SG than Burks and I think Hayward is a very, very good starting SG in the NBA and a very mediocre SF.

Your higher on Jefferson then Burks?!?! Really!

Excellent move by Rich Cho and Michael Jordan. That contract is a bargain in this market. Lol at the Pacers, they're screwed now.

no, they're not. Addition by subtraction. They still have Hibbert, West, and George. That's a pretty good core to build around.

The roster is basically set, its 12, and with Malcolm Thomas and Ian Clark its 14 my only hope left in F/A is upgrading those players, which i believe can be done.

Give me Honeycutt and Seth Curry over those 2 and I'm happy.

Id take Francisco Garcia or Aminu over Malcolm Thomas also (Beasley too but that's not happening).

Word is the Spurs contacted Aminu 2 days ago but no deal is imminent.

The Pacers have made the ECF the past 2 years, its not happening next year.

Cleveland Vs Chicago

Yeah I like Garcia. He's pretty consistent.

So we are suppose to be excited if his shooting goes up to .45 percent. Yes the NBA has certainly changed. Quin is a miracle man if he can do that. Hayward is still going to be the number one guy and he is going to have a bigger target on his back. I think he will do better if they take the ball out of his hands more and allow him to be a spot up shooter which is what he does best.

Care to guess what Kobe's career shooting average is?
I said 45%/40% for a reason: those were Gordon's career averages before last year's disaster of a season. Gordon should still get a lot of touches in Quin's system. And he's still going to be able to drive and get assists; he just doesn't need to do it every time down the court. If he can average 18/5/4 and do it on 45%/40% - that's all we need from Gordon. I don't want the offense to have a clear #1 guy. Jazz would be much more dangerous with 5-6 guys in the 14-18 range.

I agree with this. While I'm not particularly enamored with Honeycutt, I'd definitely take him over Thomas. Clark flat out sucks. I guess I was confused earlier when you were pimping Honeycutt, I thought you were promoting him as more than a garbage time player.

I just don't like Thomas or Clark at all.

Different players different roles. Thomas is a PF, he would be asked to rebound, make dunks and put-backs, the fact that he's a pretty good shooter for his position is an added bonus.


Honeycutt on the other hand plays on the wing, he HAS to make those open 3's, otherwise what's he there for?

I don't think either one would be asked to do much of anything, tbh. I think Honeycutt may be a better asset now, and even if he is not, I think he will be within a short amount of time.
