Morant shoots better from the freethrow line than Garland which is a better indicator. Their projected 3pt% at the NBA level is almost even.
So that is really non-sense and includes Garland shooting 47% from 3 in a 4 game sample size..
that is the same non-sense argument people made against...
low assists, bad assist/turnover ratio, low freethrow rate
Just not as good as Morant.
And his FT% of only 75% indicates that his 3pt% would not have held up.
His projected 3pt% is barely better than Morant.
He is almost as old as Morant too despite Morant being a sophomore. Morant triples...
And his contribution has been little.
Despite starting he does not even play for long stretches. He is only starting because the Suns have no other option at PF.
ball handling and being able to navigate in the paint and against defensive pressure is far more important than shooting as a PG.
If you are a great shooter but can't run an offense you are not going to be very useful as a PG.
You make the team at #3 or #4 trade up for Barrett while still...
We are not going to have capspace if we re-sign Oubre, which we should.
So set your sights on signing a PG like Beverley, Rubio, Brodgon, Rose, Collison, McConnel with the full MLE and a backup PG or PF with the bi-annual exception.
He has things he really has to work on, he is a terrible passer and not very efficient, but the Suns absolutely have to re-sign him
His impact on the teams attitude has been great and he is young and not done developing.
You are misunderstanding this.
Holmes caphold is barely more than the empty roster spot charge so we can hold on to his bird rights even if we want to have capspace.
Getting capspace without rennouncing Oubres caphold is very hard on the other hand. We do have his rights however and will keep...
That is how the NBA works, we have Oubres rights that is why his 10m$ caphold is on our cap.
Oubre is also restricted allowing the Suns to simply match any offer he may get.
It is also possible Oubre takes the qualifying offer to be unrestricted in 2020.
Just let that sink, slight negative on defense AND probably historically bad on offense.
That minus on offense alone is the difference between 15 10-point losses or wins.
We have Oubres rights
We wont have capspace if we keep Oubre
Our entire capspace hinges on declining Oubre, Daniels and stretching Johnson or making other trades.
Most likely we will only have the MLE and Bi-annual.
When you see a wing prospect from Kansas just assume they are busts
Josh Jackson, Andrew Wiggins, Xavier Henry, Brandon Rush, Ben McLemore, Julian Wright - all lottery busts
Getting actual NBA players instead of Jackson and Bender will be the first step to being a decent team.
Jackson is so bad it is unreal. I can‘t understand what McDonough or his fans on this board ever saw in him.
Jesus fricking christ
Ayton is allowing the same defended FG%within 6ft as Gobert and Embiid since new years. And its not like he is defending less shots really.
