Jackpotting Around - Episode 29 - Draft SZN with Cy

[Elizah Huge]

Yeah, I think the talk of trading him is crazy unless you are getting great return. He just crossed the threshold of having a positive OBPM this year. He's showing signs of up ticked scoring efficiency and he's 22nd in the NBA in assist per game. If he's not a starter, he's on the track to being one of the best 6th man in the NBA by his 4th season.

He still is very inefficient offensively. He’s shooting 39.8% from the field and 34.1% from three. That isn’t great for a guy taking 13.4 shots a game.

He also is very bad defensively.

Also, how much firsts would it take to go from 20 to 8 without a player. I would think at least two. Two firsts for Keyonte is more than fair value.

 

[Elizah Huge]

Last night he was our best player against the most difficult team to play against as a guard.

He needs to get more consistent and play better defense, but If you are paying attention he already is.

He quite literally is one of the worst defensive players in the league though.

Second worst defensive rating in the entire league.

He has had much better effort defensively since going to the bench.

Unfortunately he has an even worse defensive rating coming off the bench vs as a starter.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Unfortunately he has an even worse defensive rating coming off the bench vs as a starter.

The schedule has been very hard since he become a bench player. Every game has been a playoff team I believe.

That’s true but he’s also guarding worse players off the bench, no?

 

[SoberasHotRod]

Unfortunately he has an even worse defensive rating coming off the bench vs as a starter.

Effort hasn't translated to good defense yet, but it's a start and shows that he is coachable. Also coming off the bench means he plays less with Kessler.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Fleming playing right now if anyone is interested in tuning in. Has 8 points and is currently 2/3 from 3 with 5 minutes left in the first half.

Defensive rating is not really an individual stat.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Fleming had a transition breakaway dunk and the announcer said "even the scouts got up and are clapping"

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Fleming finishes the half 3/5 from 3 with 13 points

Great pod, really balanced and intelligent insight from Cy. I have no interest in keeping up with the draft player thread here because it moves too fast so this was nice to have
