Let me preface this entire thing by saying I have had a raging headache all day, and it's completely within the realm of possibility that I just misread what you typed.
I get ya on the Duncan/Big Al thing, the numbers are there, I'm just surprised Duncan isn't tougher on Jefferson. I would imagine if Duncan and Jefferson played in the playoffs, noting Duncan's tendency to turn it up in the postseason, the numbers would favor Duncan more. However, that is mere speculation, and you have the numbers there as being fairly self-explanatory.
I absolutely believe Dahntay Jones can be an 8 point per game player on efficient shooting. He has worked hard at the three point shooting and defense side of his game, and I got him in a fairly late round pick. He has size, can defend, and hit threes. He's a fine backup for Gordon, and possible starter at times if matchups dictate I can bring Gordon off the bench in a 6th man role. Just keep in mind I didn't pay him $11 million or draft him early, so the critique of his real life contract means nothing to me.
JR Smith- Round 3, pick 5
Dahntay Jones- Round 9, pick 16
I would hope the Nuggets were better with Smith then Jones.
No no, you read it almost entirely correct. I even agree that you got good value at round 9, pick 19.
My point was that there is a very good chance his offensive efficiency is due as much to how confined he was by his coaches as to his untapped ability.
If he only shot layups in transition and open three's, shouldn't his efficiency be higher?
I'd support that if you would look here:
LINKIf you factor in his >60& 3pt %, his <40% on jump shot conversion rate means his midrange shot to long 2's was almost entirely crap, right?
Alright, Im done. Vote Phoenix.
