Thank you, I've been calling for this for a long time, and got flak for it. Now others are finally starting to see it. I'd like to see Claver get a shot, because he was a smart player who played defense and rebounded. Claver is an average shooter at best, but Wright isn't earning his due there either. I"d like to see a rotation with Watson, McCollum, Claver Freeland and Leonard.
Exactly, that has not been working out at all. Mo is a terrible PG with his wild dribbling and crazy turnovers. Mo can get hot and be a tremendous boost off the bench, but like Travis Outlaw, he only does that once ever 7-8 games and the rest of the time he's a liability. I'd like a steadier headier backup like Watson.
The guy takes 4 shots per game, 3 of them 3pt shots and he makes 37% of those. Seems like a 3pt specialist who's not horrible. How's his defense?
Mo Williams always has been pretty much the player you're seeing. No surprises here. His minutes are down and his production is down. He's never really been a pure PG, or a high percentage shooter. His shooting % this season is .401 vs. his career average of .439. The difference is worth ten baskets over the entire course of this season, so far. He seems perfectly adequate at backup guard.
His PER total (for and against) is atrocious....the worst on the team. He can create his own shot which on this team is invaluable but how he goes about it drives a man to drink.
He's shooting 36% from 3pt range. Not terrible, but a 3pt specialist should do better. That's a lower % than Serge Ibaka. If you only look at guys that average at least half an attempt a game, Wright would rank #116. He's defense has been terrible and he's constantly not blocking out.
He's shooting 42% from 2pt range and 35% from 3. Not terrible, but not at all efficient. He also plays out of control sometimes and seems to make really dumb passes every game. For example, Damian Lillard has had 3 games this year with 4 or more turnovers, Mo has 6, as our backup PG.
I was all for giving Wright enough time to work his way into finding his role with the team. But that time is now over. I'd like to see Crabbe get ALL of Wright's minutes - in the limited minutes I've seen Crabbe play he looked a lot better than Wright ever has. Back-up PG minutes go to Watson, with CJ and Mo splitting duties at back-up SG. If we can trade Wright/Mo for a real PG that'd be great. And it'd be even better if we could add a couple other (non-rotation) players and bring back a back-up C.
