So everyone else has to be good defensively before Davis can be good defensively? OK.People trying to on Davis (unsurprisingly, it's the Suckers)...hard to be good defensively when you're platooned with defensive losers like Patty, Bryn, Derozan, Beli.....
That's a pretty good way of putting it. He's not rebounding for , and he's not having to defend, and his offensive production has been off the chart (for him at least). But his team is 1-4 and the only team they've beaten is 2-4.
I'd like to have his 3P production this year. But he hasn't turned into a Sixth Man candidate just because he's knocking down more than usual.
That's not what he was saying, and you know it. He said that Bert would be a good addition to a team that plays good D.
On the Wizards, he doesn't have to worry about playing D. Or rebounding. There's not a lot of point in getting excited about the fact that he's hitting a lot of 3's. I wish we hadn't lost him, but he wouldn't have had the opportunity to play that way here.
Well you have two games where he scored a whole lot -- the inevitable big game versus the Spurs and a 300+ point regulation game against Houston. The rest have been vintage Bertans.
I think he's just as likely to end up with an 8 point average again than maintain the 16 point average-- which is already 14 after one game.
Morris>>>>Bertans. They tried upgrading--who knew Morris would be a .
What we should be doing is comparing him to Morris. That's the trade the Spurs thought they had made, and 99% of the time the player doesn't renege on his verbal commitment.
This.
Spurs didn't intend to send Bertans off for nothing. Morris is the one who ed out on the agreement.
At least Lyles has shown himself capable of putting in productive minutes doing things that no one expected of him...and things that Bertans was not good at doing. If Trey can actually start hitting shots, it will be an upgrade tbh.
Not gonna look
It's surprising how close this emergency contingency signing is so close to being a better fit than either Bertans or Morris.
I don't understand the point of this thread?
We tried for an upgrade and the upgrade ed us over. PATFO are not at fault here, so are you just being a whiny to be a whiny ?
I don't get it.
This will be one of the main ST alternative timeline causes célèbres for a few seasons to come. Get used to it and get used to the defensiveness of those who bring him up every time his stat line looks good.
If Davis never played for us, he would be a player we would have wanted... Many of the players we see on other teams and want on ours wouldn't do good under pop...
We have seen it many times in the past
What does defense have to do with today's NBA?
even in today's NBA, the goal is to score more points than you allow
Well, seeing how Bertans' BPM is 1.5, he manages to do that quite well. Even on a ty team like the Wizards.
I agree...and nice signature additions!
Thanks man!I agree...and nice signature additions!
Feels like bertans was the upgrade to Bonner and now samanic is the upgrade to bertans.
Samanic is a pretty similar player to both and has the potential to become the best version of that role.
uh...wut
One is averaging 20 points on like 5 threes a game, and one is a ing sandwich.
PATFO are ing idiots to let this guy go for nothing just like Jon Simmons and Kyle Anderson and Corey Joseph and Paul George before him. All of them are showing PAFTO!
This. He's on a horrible Wizards team.
How so? If you are in a bad team, you tend to get less quality looks. For a space providing role player like Bertans that should be a great handicap, yet he's having a career year so far.
Why is that? Because Bertans can be more than just a spot up shooter. He's a lot more versatile than most folks gave him credit for here. Brooks realized this and is using him in more varied ways.
