WS48 isn't a perfect stat, but Toine has the fifth-lowest WS48 among players with 20,000+ minutes played in the three-point era, behind Darrell Griffith, Calbert Cheaney, Brian Shaw, and Vernon Maxwell.  You usually can't be completely worthless to have played so many minutes, but this is a guy who is 15th in career 3-point attempts despite making only 32.5% of them.

I can't put him on the same level as Peja Stojakovic and Jermaine O'Neal.  I can't even put him on the same level as Derek Fisher without assigning a penalty for being a Laker.

This team truly isntTHAT bad.They're having trouble closing out games, because they're young. I think once RR comes back they will close out those close games. I don't see the TANK i just see a young team looking for an identity and still looking for a guy to take over. Its only been 4 games guys lets just let this team mold into another greatCeltics team, and if that means Wiggins or Parker when its all said and done than so be it haha

P.s Green looked really good game after he was sat in 4th quarter in the previous game.

84, 96, and 03 seem like the top three in the last 30 years. All those drafts have multiple hall of famer, arguably the best player of his era, and some ayers who made all star games.

1984 had Olajuwon Barkley Stockton, all hall of famers, and Jordan as the best of his era. It also had Alvin Robertson Otis Thorpe and Kevin Willis who were all stars.


1996 had Kobe as arguably the best of his era. Ray Allen Steve Nash and Allen iverson are all also sure fire hall of famers. This draft also had all stars in Big Z, JO, Marbury, Antoine walker, and peja. Marcus Camby was never an all star but was defensive player of the year.

2003 had Lebron as the best player of his era. Lebron, Carmelo, wade, and Bosh will all likely be in the hall of fame. This draft also had mo Williams, David west, josh Howard, and Chris kaman as players who made an all star team.

The 2014 draft is believed to be on par with this draft. If true then having a high lottery pick in this draft is pure gold.

Most marketed draft class ever for sure, which is why I am so suspicious.

Id be happy with the #4 pick in the draft, You gotta think the Jazz will get a high pick and that they will draft Marcus Smart whereever they are...(Unless it's #1 overall)

Could use a pick line this to go after a lamarcus Aldridge or Kevin love if things don't work out in Portland and minny. Both of those guys will be entering the final year of their deals and that's not good if they're unhappy with the state of their organizations.

Either one of those two with green and rondo would be a great start at assembling a strong team.

Lots of stuff can happen obviously before the 2014 draft tho.
