It would be interesting to see a breakdown on what percentage he made on each of those three.

 

I'm not huge on Plumlee, hes terrible offensively which is a shame bc the dude works incredibly hard and has that classic ripcity fire we love as players. I think hes a perfect backup tho

 

My view on Plumlee's jumpshot is this:

If he has a reliable midrange jumper, he would probably be shooting it. He's pretty much wide open every single time on the pick and rolls with Dame and CJ and never takes it even though the defense gives it to him. Probably because he knows he is unlikely to make it.

 

Was going to say this. If Plumlee could make the shot, he'd take it.

Is it possible to teach someone how to shoot a 12 footer this late in their career? Even though his free throw percentage has improved from the start of the season, it's still painful to watch.

Obviously he's not going to improve his shooting stroke during the season, but the guy should be putting up 1000 mid range shots a day over the summer.

And yeah, if we had a better starting center, I'd love Plumlee coming off our bench.

 

at 26 it appears Tyreke Evans has been able to drastically increase his 3 pt percentage from a coach analyzing his mechanics and making changes - he's shooting almost 39% from 3 this year - way, way above his career avg

Plumlee's shooting form is all kinds of fucked up though. Even if he could consistently hit that shot, his release is so slow it wouldn't even do him much good.

 

I tend to think Plumlee pretty much is what he is, as a previous poster said a nice backup C

 

I could slice them up later this week and take a look. The McCollum piece, podcast, and subsequent requirements afterward are eating up most of my time right now. But I could look at it.

 

What I like about Plumlee is everything except his shooting stroke..in the video with the shot put brick, he does show great hands with the CJ no look pass and getting the Aminu tip..this and Plumlee isn't old. Robin Lopez didn't come into the league with a jump shot...he hired Hakeem to work on his post game. A great shooting coach could put Plumlee in the Lopez category...I watched Joel Freeland shoot in Spain, shoot well in practice with the Blazers and turn around and brick jumpers in NBA games...same with Claver....Wes said Claver was a way better shooter than fans were aware of. Plumlee will never dominate in the paint. He is however a hard working young guy with a lot of upside. I know Dan thinks he is what he is, but for young bigs..that can change with the right shooting coach or mentor.

 

Greg Monroe for Cj McCollum and mason plumlee or ed Davis?

Buahahahahahahaa buahahahahahaha

Oh man, that's a good one.

 

He's a great passer and ball handler for his position and an above average pick n roll big and an average finisher at the rim. I don't understand where you get terrible from.

 

looks like he needs to sand bag them a little longer so his trade value is more appealing to us

 

I would do CJ for the Greek Freak......... but not Monroe.

 

Im Not sure if I would do that.

But it's just hilarious. Not only do they want a 20ppg guy on a rookie deal in Cj, they ALSO want Plumlee on a rookie deal or ed Davis on a great deal for a good vet for Monroe who is a fine player, but is locked into a big deal for multiple years

And I don't even think Monroe is that much better than Cj alone, if at all

 

Idk if I'd even do CJ for Greek Freak. He is impressive but can he take the Kawhi level jump? I mean on paper the Bucks should be better than us yet they aren't. Idk if he is player that makes a team better.

 

You are sadistic sir... Knowing Rice he'd call G-Ante.

 

I like jabari parker the most of all the bucks players.
