Most of his career Hezonja wasn't used as a ball handler. Guys playing off the ball generally have higher turnover ratios because they're back is...
Man, it was really instructive to see how those assists came. Mostly passing into guys around the rim. He's going to set up Whiteside and Collins a...
I was wondering about this too. Just for kicks, I ran numbers on our biggest matchup nightmares last year to see how well Hark and Aminu actually did...
But if Simons can play point and Mario does work out, we're going to be pretty deep with ball handlers. A lot of teams don't even have two guys who...
Hood and Collins. I've bought into the Simons hype train, and I think the plan will be to bring him off the bench in a Crabbe/Connaughton/Hood (from...
How can this red text help me?
I would correct that to say he hasn't trusted Layman. He also didn't trust Crabbe or Connaughton in their first few years, but they developed and...
Interesting to see how close Layman and Hezonja are statistically. I guess the major difference to look at is that Hezonja came up in Orlando and the...
It's pretty amazing the guy has been on 11 teams in 11 years. Good enough to stick in the league, but not good enough to stick on a team. Funny...
CJ will be backup PG, with Simons filling in here and there. We've done it before and it wasn't entirely ideal, but it works. If you have a lot of...
Lol. Something like that.
While this is a good point, I think there's also the element of Portland playing a somewhat unconventional "drop" defense, where the center concedes...
I'd really like to see us sign Javale McGee--even over Kanter. I like his length and athleticism, and that he doesn't take bad shots. He may be an...
Amen to all of that. We had probably the worst starting forwards in the entire league. It was definitely time to move on.
I just ran the numbers, and when he got over 25mpg with the Knicks (21 games) he averaged 15pts, 2.4 assists, 6 rebs, 54%fg, 33%three. He was 23...
You're not entirely wrong there. Perhaps things change for CJ, though, when he's got a dynamic player he can pass to in Simons. "CJ, you are running...
I agree that CJ isn't an ideal backup PG, but frankly I think he's good enough. The real issue we have is that if Dame or CJ goes down, we're putting...
Just re-watched Simons' final game of the season on League Pass. Lots of fun. A few things that stood out to me this time that I forgot: Stotts had...
I fear every young player Portland trades away, because of Jermaine O'Neal. Christ, I've probably seen 30 guys under 25 get traded or dropped, and...
Chris Dudley. I remember before a game watching him practice his free throws. Took 10 of them and missed 8. That typified his game--all effort, no...
