Finding it difficult to argue with that. And decent would be understatment fodder. Especially if we can move Vasquez, Lopez, or Gordon and pick up another swingman.

You're comparing tangerines to oranges, man. One is much, much sweeter.

Yes, Jenning is a chucker, but he's a chucker that, if he's really, really hot, can drop 50. Vasquez could only dream of dropping 50.

But hey, if we draft Bazz we can double down and have 2 unrepentant chuckers. Don't you remember the good ole' JR Smith days?

A good comparison for Bazz may be Barnes minus the athleticism. He may have a similar rookie season.

great boxout davis!!!

aminu stop teasing me with ur elite talent...

Only Mr. Fantastic could block Aminu's shot.

So, we would just end up having the same complaints as this year with people wanting to trade him by the closest trade deadline.

Must've missed the part about potential to drop 50. So I'll repeat that Jenning is MUCH better offensively than Vasquez. He also is anything but leadfooted.

What about their win shares? Their offense and defense ratings? How are those looking? Legitimately curious.

dont get too caught up in stats, jennings and gordon would compliment each other, either one could drive in and kick out to the other since they can both drive and both shoot

how did Vasquez end up on Lee? :idoh:

Lee's at 23 pts & 16 rebs

Good question. All we know is GV has the better PER, but not as flashy a name/game.

ok well instead of jennings if ur worried about a chucker u could go with jegg teague
he is averaging 15ppg-7-apg-2.5rpg while shooting over 45% from the field and over 37% from 3.

Doesn't seem to help him run a more efficient offense.

NOLA: 106.1 (14th of 30)
MLK:104.2 (21st of 30)

Jennings and Ellis doesn't bode well for that theory.

Kind of how Jennings and Ellis compliment each other?:hihi:

Really? First trip to the line for AD? He should be taking at least 6 FTs a game. He's going to have to attack a lil' more.

Does PER take into account defense?

No stat publicly available does. On an individual level, anyway.
