    He's the best value in the league for a player not on a rookie deal. Baller!

    Joel Freeland shooting 8.3% so far this season. But it's ok cause he's one of the best bigs in Europe!

    Yeah I would say the Blazers are better off drafting Lillard and re-signing JJ as opposed to just drafting Thomas Robinson if he would have slipped to us. Not that TRob sucks, but guys like him are easier to come by. I can't believe how well JJ is rebounding.

    Amazing how similar Nic and LAs #s are!

    8 fucking percent. :lol:

    Aside from that, all our starters stats look great except for LarMarcus' shooting %.

    I hope none of our bench guys are still here next year, except Leonard and Barton.

    Really? I didn't know he'd made ANY shots.

    Waitaminute - if Freeland's in Europe then who's this bum?

    What's crazy is that JJ is grabbing that many rebounds in less than 30 minutes a game whereas the rest of our starters are playing 37 minutes per game.

    Is Hickson a terrible defender or is that just my imagination?

    Not your imagination. Hickson is good at crashing the boards....well, somone's gotta do it. He's also playing for a contract. Keep him hungry. We'll be a better team when we have a center and Hickson can come off the bench. Leonard is far from ready. It is what it is. Hell-llooo lotto! You are looking dashing this season!

    He's a terrible defender at center if you want somebody to protect the rim and intimidate. He seems adequate to me on man-on-man defense. He's a slightly undersized PF we're trying to use as a Chuck Hayes or Ben Wallace, and he just isn't that guy.

    But he definitely needs more than 30 mpg. It's just that Leonard is the only remotely competent guy we have on our bench. I'd like to see his minutes go up to 35 mpg, while getting LMA some minutes at SF. Same minutes for Leonard and LMA, but less for chumps like Pavlovic and Babbitt.

    Hickson has always been a poor defender.
