    LOL, he has nothing at all to worry about from Adrien or Dorsey, those guys are end of the bench types that will only see the court during pre-season and in blowouts. Dorsey could potentially see the court a little more than that though. Adrien might not even make it out of campe.

    If you make a contribution to the Tip Jar, whatever you feel like contributing, you get to edit and other things. Also, you get to support the BBS and help Clutch. Link below! :)-

    PS: It can take a while for Clutch to upgrade your status, as he is a very, very busy guy. If something doesn't happen within a reasonable amount of time, send him an email through the board, and he'll take care of it.

    Are you serious? Watch Buck games. He had couple of 20 pt games. He has stepped up his offensive game significantly.

    Adrien is now a force to be reckoned with

    Which is why he had so much interest that he signed a one year minimum deal....

    DRAPM - 0.25
    ORAPM - -0.17

    VS DMo

    DRAPM - 1.28
    ORAPM - -0.16

    a couple random decent games at the tail end of the season doesn't change the player he's always been and that's why he didn't get any more than one year at the minimum.

    ORAPM is close to Dmo. And Dmo is regarded as a pretty solid offensive player?!

    Try to prove another point?

    I think you missed the point, DMo at 23 is a considerably better player than Adrian at 28 and he's not undersized like Adrian either. Adrien is just a camp body.

    Those stats are full season compilation stats yes? So for Adrien they will be weighed down by his time in Charlotte?

    I'd like to see advanced metrics that only reflect his time with the Bucks when he was given legit playing time.

    Either way, I don't think he's a starter by any stretch. I think he has a chance to give quality minutes though as a forward that isn't killed on defense.

    No, they aren't compiliation, for example Canaan barely played and he has an

    ORAPM of -0.87 and a DRAPM of -2.04

    Asik played only part of the season and had an

    ORAPM of -0.80 and a DRAPM of 4.24

    or probably more relevant to the topic, Jones played all year and had

    an ORAPM of 0.87 and a DRAPM of -1.45

    No I mean that it is based on his full season's body of work. He played a lot differently for the Bucks than the Bobcats.

    Stats say otherwise.

    Oh, yeah, it's based on his full body of work that year but they are in line with his previous seasons, so unless you think he flipped a switch at the very end of the season and that he'll be that kind of guy from here on out rather than it just being a few better looking games than it's not really relevant or rather it might not be.

    Crappy players will occasionally step it up big time when they are playing for one of the worst teams in the league and that team has trouble scoring.

    Remember Mike James' 20 PPG season in Toronto? Or Aaron Brooks' big years post Yao/McGrady in Houston?

    Be careful reading too much into guys with sudden atypical scoring elevation on bad teams.

    Clutch is grateful for anything. $10 bucks? $20 bucks? I know some people contribute a lot more, and some less, I suspect. I wouldn't worry about that aspect (the amount) of supporting the BBS, although sending a dollar would be kind of ridiculous. I'm a terrible speller and edit my posts all the time. Back before Clutch made a gigantic improvement with the servers he uses, the BBS would slow to a crawl when there was a big signing of a free agent, or a huge win. That sort of thing. Then he'd limit the posting ability to contributing members. Used to be (maybe still is?) that doing an advanced search was one of the perks, but I could be wrong about that.
