Merged: Crabbe Traded to Brk

But Gordon can't create for others, gets no assist, and shoots the same amount of 2pt FGs as Crabbe with a lower percentage so where is Gordons "ability to dribble" helping him?

 

You're a mod so you shouldn't be attacking anything

 

you're being contentious....get over it

 

*edited:*

 

Yes, because 37% on tougher shots (that still need to be taken because the number of wide open shots are limited) is an impressive skill. It's great that Crabbe larded his percentages on the easy ones--having guys who can take the tough ones is more important. For example, are you seriously alleging that Crabbe is a better three-point shooter than Steph Curry because he shoots a higher percentage?

I've made this comparison before, but this is like a football fan who thinks that a quarterback who has a 70% completion percentage because all he throws are flanker screens and dump-offs is more accurate than a quarterback who has a 65% completion percentage and attacks downfield.

 

Take my bet then r/iamverysmart

 

He told me to get bent, so how am I being contentious?

He's insulted me for no reason in the past as well, but I'm being contentious. Okay.

 

Of course all this speculations means we are probably not getting Gordon.

 

How is telling you to GTFO or "get bent" insulting you exactly? Or any different from the shit youve said to me? I have nevery insulted you for no reason other times. get a link to prove it or get bent

 

10 years ago I'd say it's a forgone conclusion our trainers and medical staff would ruin him. Now, I think we are as good in that area as we used to talk about Phoenix being. Not worried

 

Your metaphor doesn't work because 3pts = 3pts, while a 30 yard pass > a 5 yard pass.

The only thing that you could claim he does better than Crabbe is 3pt shooting, but that's if you value volume over efficiency.

 

Crabbe can't create for others either lol.
Basically imo Gordon > Crabbe for one reason.
Gordon isn't going to go invisible on the court, like Crabbe did much of last year.
If healthy I'd say Gordon is a clear upgrade from Crabbe.

I still don't like the move, because I'm not a Gordon fan.

 

So true, haha.

 

Gordon also creates over twice as many assist as Crabbe. Gordon puts pressure on the defense, freeing up his teammates for more scoring opportunities. Crabbe doesn't. He just stands at the 3-point line, waiting for his man to double off him onto Dame or C.J.

I can't believe someone praising Crabbe is calling Gordon 1-dimensional. Gordon can actually dribble and pass. That's at two more dimensions than Crabbe has.

BNM

 

I pray you're right.

 

Right, it's common mistake to compare spot up shooters with guys that are lead scorers. Damian would probably shoot 50% on his wide open 3s.

 

The metaphor works fine. Being able to hit contested three-pointers when no one is wide open is much more valuable than being able to hit a wide-open three pointer. Just as a 30 yard pass is much more valuable than a 5 yard pass. If every possession could yield wide-open threes, you'd be correct, but the vast majority of possessions do not. That means on most possessions, Crabbe isn't nearly as useful as Gordon.

 

If I said "fuck you", would it not be an insult?

That's right, those other times you insulted me for having a different opinion then you.

 

Rather than losing him for nothing, we had to take on 2.7 mil in dead weight for 7 years. That's like asking if you'd rather lose an old couch for nothing or have to pay someone $50 to haul it away.

 

That'd be true if the efficiency was nearly the same. A 7% difference is a lot though.
