Troof bomb tbh.
he needs to shoot open shots. The key word is OPEN. He hoists bad shots and plays too much hero ball when you have 2 all stars on the team. Not to mention Mills is playing hot potato with the ball and dribbling out the shot clock. Mills and Forbes together is a disaster.
Uhh that’s what I said this summer. Trade Leonard and Aldridge for 2019 first round picks, tank this season and we would have 3 lottery picks. It’s exac what said this summer.
If that's one of the best things to happen to this team, this team is really screwed. And to pretend that Forbes doesn't chuck shots is being in denial.
Mills and Forbes are different people. Bryn shoots long-twos better than anyone else on the team. He also shoot 61 percent at the rim. Pretty much any shot he takes is fine. He's out there to score, and he's been pretty good at that this year.
Efficient shooters shooting shots is one of the best things any team could have happen to them.
The curse of Trump strikes again.
you can't be serious.. Forbes is shooting 25% from 10-16FT. 33% from 3-10FT
and his FG% in the paint is too much of a small sample size. With that logic, Mills is shooting 63% from 0-3FT.
Pop is severely out of touch, has been for at least 2 years, built a roster that any other coach/GM would be getting killed for in the media..
Whatever, though..this is like when the Lakers allowed Kobe to do his thing at the end, let Pop ride it out until he deads his career..
how the fack is he effiecient. His driving game stinks, off dribble shots stink. I guess you love undersized shooting guards chuckers.
Good thing we didn't pick up Durant or Lebron James, Pop would never retire.
The Pop that gave a retired 3-4 years ago, tbh...
Those aren't long-twos, those are mid-range twos. Since you're already looking at BBRef, you can see that he shots more shots from 16-3PT than he does those other two categories combined, and he takes more threes than he does any two that's not at the rim. In fact, only 20 percent of his total shots are the ones you are talking about. He doesn't shoot very many shots he's not good at making, hence why he's efficient.
Just brings the spotlight on the DeRozan trade yet again. Like if PATFO seriously thought that was the best return for Leonard, that's fine. But if they had better future-value offers, and Pop nixed those because he didn't want to coach a rebuilding team, that's a problem.
Is there any way of knowing what the Clips' offer was? Harris + 2 late lottos was the scuttlebutt I kept reading...
The reason why he doesn't shoot too many shots at the rim or closer to the rim is because he doesn't have the skills to break down his defender or the defense. Also His shooting 43.9% from 16-24FT. Is that really efficient?
I think LAC was trying to hold back one of the picks, though I think had they drawn the line, they would have included both and not demanded Green.
White, Green, Harris, Gay, Aldridge -- that doesn't seem like a great unit. Even dropping Gay and going with Murray (assuming he was healthy) probably doesn't make them much better than they currently are. But maybe those picks could have been something. 12 would have likely been Walker. 13 probably Porter or Brown. 18 probably Williams or Wagner. Could have been okay, especially had a deal also included Mills. Would have had the chance to rebuild or reload.
Though knowing RC, he may have been tempted to trade Leonard and 18 (and $5 Million of course) to LAC for 13 and Gallo
Yep, that's our RC!
But the guys you named would have boded better for the future, if not provided further trade opportunities.
Forbes shoots 48 percent from 16-3PT. Dunno if whatever number you're looking at includes corner-threes, but if it does, then it doesn't tell the whole story. Bryn also shoots almost as many shots at the rim as he does combined from midrange twos (14 percent to 17 percent). You aren't going to be able to color this as Bryn taking a lot of bad shots. He doesn't.
The 48% you're talking about is 16- <3pt. Which is considered to be the worst shot in the NBA.
Nah, all twos are the same. 16-3PT isn't any worse than 3-16. If a guy is shooting almost 50 percent on those shots, you still have to guard him. Moreover, those shots in particular are off screen and as counters to hard-closes. Those are really good for establishing spacing when the shooter is already an accomplished marksman from behind the arc. Any defense is going to try to limit Forbes there as much as they're going to try to limit DeRozan there. Difference is that teams still can't soft-close on Forbes, because he is willing and able to hit those quick threes if the D hesitates. Further, if a team does run Bryn off the line and away from the long-two, they haven't been successful in keeping him from the rim, where he also shoots well. If Bryn shooting is a defensive win in less than 20 percent of the occasions where it happens, then the defense isn't going to want him to shoot very often.
Man you're acting like he's some offensive guru. The guy is a chucker and why you don't see it is a mystery to me.
Yeah, except he's going to be around for the next 5-6 years and in RC's ear telling him that young, athletic guy won't be a cultural fit. At least the Lakers just trot Kobe around now like a show horse, without giving him any real sway in the franchise
It’s time to turn the damn page.
You can call him what you want, but he's still efficient. And you still want efficient guys taking more shots than inefficient guys.
