Don't know if anybody watched the Laker game last night, but Josh had a career night. You all know I'm jokin', but it was good to see him play well. Hope he gets a triple double, but we win! He's a real cool guy!
I had SportCenter on last night and I didn't hear any highlights but then when they put up the top scorers from the game I saw his name and almost fell out of my chair...
Yea because you know, young players might not take a while to show their stuff. Might as well give up on them after a week.
Is that kind of in the same realm as every time I post a smart ass prediction of the Blazers getting killed by like 25+ in the prediction thread they play well and win?
He's currently no better than Rush, and it looks doubtful that he'll ever be as good as JJ already is. He's certainly regressed from his streaky but promising rookie season. It may be years and several more tries before we find our PG of the future. He's not on our current roster.
Data shows you are very wrong about it. See attached. You are certainly confused. He basically doubled his PER. You might have a point there - but this means nothing in the context of this discussion - because Jack, McBob and Rush are not the PG of the future either - so it is not relevant. At the end of the day, this trade got us a guy that is now about as good as Jack (more explosive, but not as consistent, not a problem given that he basically played only about the same amount of minutes so far in his career that Jack played in his rookie season) but is much younger and with a much higher ceiling, add the fact that McBob and Rush are nothing exciting - and this was a fantastic trade for Portland.
