I'm not really too worried about Mo. He's a veteran in this league and he knows what he's doing. He's been rackin up a shitload of turnovers and not shootin that well, but it's all good. He hasn't played much with these guys so I think he's just gettin a feel for his teammates while getting into game shape. Come regular season he'll be fine. 15 pts off the bench
He shot 54.3% from the field (True Shooting Percentage) which is excellent. On the shots he was going to make they fouled him and he made the free throws.
So I'm curious, how does Lillard get his PER up from last year? He seems to be focusing more on scoring this preseason, but I was hoping he'd get his assists up.
4 games in Lopez: 9.1 Batum: 16.5 Lillard: 27.0 LMA: 24.5 Matthews: 21.1 Wright: 19.9 Williams: 6.2 Robinson: 9.7 Funny how Batum is always labeled as inconsistent, but even in this ridiculously small sample size he's still right in his normal PER range.
Yeah that is pretty surprising, a triple double and averaging double figure rebounds but only 16.5 PER. Hickson had a PER of 19.7 last year.
I think he'll regress to his mean, so probably 14 or 15, but I doubt he's anywhere close to his mark last year.
