    Assist to Turnover ratio was above average for NBA PGs. 3rd best 3pt percentage for players on our team.

    And it is not really any one stat but he finally made our bench unit better. It was absolutely horrible before he came.

    His career 3pt% is 35%. Average. His AST% hovers aroud 30%. Average. His per minute numbers are 11/7 per 36. Average.

    His TS% is 47.8%, bad. WS/48 is .50, bad. Career PER of 11, bad.

    He literally does one thing okay and that's not turn the ball over. Am I missing something here? He's nothing special.

    As for our bench, you could grab a raccoon off the road and they would perform better than Sasha Pavlovic and Nolan Smith.

    As I said, people have different definitions. And he made those people better. Even Sasha and Nolan. That is how bad they were before he came.

    I not worried about losing him as I spelled out. We are going to get another Ronnie Price retread to sit on the bench and not play or be in street clothes.

    Wait a minute. You just said the other day that we should re-sign him.

    You flip and flop these days more than Republican politicians. Thats saying a lot.

    This week, Papa's been lobbying against Canzano and Quick. After years of being their only defender.

    I did. Just like the Blazers should sign any other mediocre veteran PG. I don't expect a lot for the vet minimum. Maynor's fine, but it's not like him leaving is some big blow to the team.

    You should really work on your reading comprehension. Saying the Blazers should maybe resign him isn't the same as saying him leaving is some huge loss.

    I'd prefer Aaron Brooks, but I'm biased on that one.
