thxfrthmmrs Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 1, 2013 -> 08:44 AM) I would say that's a horrible description of him. He's shooting 53 percent from 3 and has been the best player on one k the best teams in the country. Ronnie Brewer and his non existent jump shot has zero to do with Oladipo. It's a fair comparison. He's shooting 53% but, making less than 1 three a game, in the past years, he shot 30% and 20% from the three. We all know the NBA range is not the same the college range. Derrick Williams shot an insane 57% from 3s a couple years ago, what is he doing now? If you must know, Ronnie Brewer shot almost 40% from 3s in one year in college with more makes than Oladipo. And there are other similarities in their game besides the jump shot. Edited February 1, 2013 by thxfrthmmrs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a better shot and is making a high percentage from both 2 and 3. He would be a solid fit next to Rose at the 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's already a dumbass who thinks anyone with a college doctorate gets paid as much as NBA players and that they're easy to get. Now he's so bad I might see more minutes at center.

2nd_city_saint787 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 (edited) Wonder what Thibs can do with a guy like Jarrid Famous. Famous is a fairly rare specimen from a physical standpoint , standing 6-11, with nice length and a frame that can definitely still fill out. He is a very mobile big man who runs the floor well and is pretty explosive getting off his feet. Simply put, players with Famous' size and athleticism don't grow on trees, and they'll always get the benefit of the doubt in the evaluation process for that reason. From DraftExpress.com http://www.draftexpress.com#ixzz2JickqJCb The rest of his scouting report doesnt look that grand but it'd be intriguing to see what Thibs could get out of him. He's on our D-League affiliate team. Edited February 2, 2013 by 2nd_city_saint787 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I can't believe people were actually clamoring for J.R. Smith to make the All-Star team. 39% from the field and a .488 TS% is far from ASG material. Brook Lopez actually deserved it, he totally got snubbed to begin with.

thxfrthmmrs Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I like the fact that we won with "small" ball last night, which gives some hope that we could play small with the Heat in a playoff series as well, which will take Boozer out of the picture. Take the Heat's small ball lineup: Bosh/Haslem Battier/Lewis Lebron Wade Allen/Chalmers If we can counter with Noah/Boozer Deng/Gibson Butler Robinson/Bellineli Rose Where Deng will check Lebron and Butler will check Wade. Nate and Rose will take turns checking Battier and Allen. Nate Robinson, while diminutive and has some shot selection issues, has proven that he can be effective running the offense, hitting the long ball, and being an instant source of offense. He and Deng can be the second and third options behind Rose. This is a bit premature given Rose hasn't played a minute this season yet, but I think we can match up great in the playoffs.

As justBlaze mentioned, you don't want to play small ball with the Heat. That's where they actually win. You want to force the Heat to matchup to you and play big. That's where they've lost consistently when they have lost.
