    For those who are too lazy to look up actual stats this season.

    Jake - 7.4 ppg
    E.T. - 6.7 ppg

    Jake - 14.4 per/36
    E.T. - 10.8 per/46

    And please don't get into shooting percentages as even after a slump, Jake is still over 50% from the field with en eFG% 12% points higher than ET. Lest we bring up 3-pt percentages, it REALLY gets ugly.

    So ET does produce.....a lot of bricks.

    Turner will play critical defense on Harden or Russ or KD in playoffs and you’ll understand why we have him.

    Okay, I looked it up for you @KingSpeed.

    CJ's rebounding % is up from 6.0% to 6.3% this year. That's sneaky good right?

    Curry/Hood/Layman/Collins/Meyers should be our bench lineup regardless of if Curry is a good "PG" or not.

    What about the assists and rebounds. His defense is much better then Jake also, but go ahead and cherry pick a couple stats that Jake might have better. Plus ET's numbers have gone down since his injury.

    Really?

    There damn well better be when you're shooting 15% from '3'. There is a LOT to make up for.

    And Jake's have gone down since his role changed drastically when they brought in Hood and Kanter. Was jut pointing out the error in points.

    But please keep propping up ET...it's entertaining. :cheers:

    ET's defense is the most overrated "skill" on this team. I wouldn't even say he's a better defender than Jake.

    Evan Turner gets an extra rebound per 36. Yay. I doubt the teams REB% is any higher with ET on the floor over Layman.

    Also, Layman is better than ET by simply standing in the corner because the offense doesn't have to play 4 on 5.

    Im in favor of reducing the rotation to not playing Layman or ET much if at all in the postseason if CJ is healthy.
    Dame, Hood, Moe, Chief, Collins, Seth, CJ,Kanter. Everyone else is situational.
