Sources: Posey agrees to four-year deal with Hornets

[024]

here's something you guys might not know. during this year's playoffs, posey averaged 6.7ppg, 43.7%FG, and 39.8%3PT, in 22.1 minutes of play. he played pretty well against atlanta and cleavland but struggled sometimes against detroit and the lakers. some of the games his field goals (mostly 3s) were:

0-2, 1-4, 0-2 against cleaveland.
1-4, 1-5, 1-3, 1-3, against detroit.
and 1-6, 1-3, and 1-2, against the lakers.

he has his games where he contributes a lot but he's hardly the consistent bench player NO has been looking for, maybe just one small piece to the puzzle. his defense doesn't show up on the stat sheet and he is an above average defender, but he's hardly worth the $25 million over 4 years.

on a side note, udoka averaged 5.4ppg, 46.5%FG, and 40%3pt in 15.8 minutes of play. he's also an above average defender and we're paying him like what.. $1 million a year?

Stats, shmats. I'll agree Posey may not the most consistent, but you can't compare him and Udoka in clutch situations. If you switched those two, the Spurs would probably be hoisting #5.

Looking at Posey's stats to compare him to other players shows a profound misunderstanding of why he is so valuable to a team.

I wish there was a clutch stat out there because Posey would be high up on that stat. Makes his free throws when they count and hits his 3's when they count. Does all the little things needed to help his team win. You put him on a contending squad and he's the kind of piece that gives them the edge.

profound misunderstanding? never said posey wasn't important, just overpaid. it's hard to find players that elevate their game during playoff time. paying attention to his clutch performances is important but ignoring the games where he disappears or shoots poorly creates a false image of him.

Hahaha, nice parody post.
