    Really? Josh Jackson? And either Jonathan Isaac is worse than Zach because he never plays, or we're not allowed to hold Zach's injuries against him - pick one.

    Still waiting for an explanation why a fan on a message board is expected to be better informed than a highly paid NBA GM.

    Thats not my job. I don’t get paid multi millions to evaluate players with a scouting team behind me. That’s your “gm bros” job

    That looks more like Obama than Frye.

    I've never understood that slogan. Does anyone seriously think that there's ever going to be a shortage of weird in Portland?

    He sucks. Even when he’s healthy he isn’t anything special. Fans tend to love his defense but it wasn’t All-Defense or anything. You coulda got that with Bam Abedeyo who was named all defensive team. Fuck Neil Olshey

    The hangup is Olshey's demands to Philadelphia. To help his sleep, he wants a quiet office with a soft overstuffed chair.

    Bert Koldie will be instrumental in any change.

    jackson I'll give ya

    but, I'll 'pick door #3 - Issac has played 136 games; Zach has played 154. That's an insignificant difference that means both have missed a lot of games, and when they have played:

    PER: Zach 10.8....Issac 13.7
    TS%: Zach .528....Issac .532
    Reb%: Zach 12.2%....Issac 11.4%
    Steal%: Zach 0.9%....Issac 2.0%
    Block%: Zach 3.1%....Issac 5.0%
    winshares/48: Zach .069....Issac .091
    DefWinshares: Zach 3.0....Issac 5.8
    DefBPM: Zach +0.1....Issac +1.8
    DefRating: Zach 109....Issac 105
    BPM: Zach -2.6....Issac +0.2
    Value Over Replacement: Zach -0.4....Issac +2.0

    basically they are both disappointments compared to their draft slots. But Zach's only advantage, and it's a small one, is he's a slightly better rebounder. But both have anemic rebounding rates for their length & roles. And, Issac has better defensive numbers than Zach, which is supposed to be Zach's strength.

    Is having a James Jones vibe a good thing?

    Well Isaac had his breakout this season, but unfortunately he got injured. He had a phenomenal impact on the court defensively and improved his shooting as well.

    might the fact that orlando has been a boardline top 10 defensive team 3 years running in respect to team defensive rating have an impact on issac's numbers vs. collins'? clifford is known as a defensive coach. the TS% difference is only .004.
