He averaged 3.8 as a starter his following year, so it wasn't an aberration. I'm evaluating Vonleh per 36 as well. Sit down.
It's not ridiculous. If it takes you a quarter to warm up and start producing, you shouldn't be playing. Produce when you're on the court, period. Almost every other player in the NBA, starter or not, produces more per 36. And Vonleh has played over 20 minutes in a game 5 times this year and he's scored a grand total of 18 points in those games (with 9 of those coming in 1 game). So he hasn't scored at a higher rate when he plays more minutes.
The more minutes, the more rhythm you build in that game. A better rythym means he's more likely to play better in general. Everyone knows that. Building a rhythm is different than just "warming up". When you don't have a good feel for the level of play yet, every time you're able to build a great rhythm in one game, it's a confidence builder and a step to finally getting used to the level of play. Trust me, I know this cuz I'm going through the same thing.
Utter non-sense bullshit. If that were true, teams would score substantially less in the 1st quarter than other quarters as players are "building their rhythm. Your arguement = destroyed. LOL! Anyone else?
that's because the rythym hasn't been established yet, plus they've built a little rythym in warmups. I don't know how else to explain it to someone who's probably never played at a higher level than the local recreational league
I have heard far more knowledgeable and experienced experts than you talk about getting into a rhythm and needing time to get into the flow of the game. How often does Dame immediately come in and start producing? Very few players are capable of being a microwave kind of player. Those guys are few and far between, and that's why they're still pretty successful as 6th men in the league. You have no idea what you're talking about.
The problem with beating someone intellectually, is that they usually don't even realize they've been beaten. It's like beating up a guy with no nerve endings.
You beat me intellectually when it comes to this? Haha PLEASE tell me what was the highest level of ball you ever played. Be honest. You sound like Skip Bayless, acting like you know how the mental part of the game works even though you have no intellect on the subject, as you have no experience. But somehow you still act like you have more intellect than those who have actually stepped on the court. To make up for your lack of intellect, you talk louder and say trollish things like the post above, which reminds me of the type of thing Skip Bayless would spit out of his shit-spewing mouth.
The hell is Brooklyn doing? Are they trying to win? Because it sure doesn't look like it. But that would make no sense since their pick is not protected, so it'll go to Boston regardless of where they end up. We should trade them Henderson or maybe Meyers.
Olshey shouldn't be judged on this year's team alone. You should add Hibbert, Hawes, and Kanter to the roster. Then judge him.
That was a great post. As I've told you guys, great art can be interpreted in multiple ways. They will study my posts a thousand years from now.
