Man, Lou Williams is hot garbage....

Maybe you really don't speak English.

I asked you for stats that were more advanced than what's in the box score, So you could actually prove your point.

You wrote 3 paragraphs of crap, and the only stats in the whole post were PPG, shooting percentage, and PER (which you didn't actually post, or compare against anyone else)

Guess where you can find those stats?

The box score.

I mean christ, if it's really that hard to back up your claims, maybe you should rethink them?

 

What "claims" are you talking about? You and Donknock seem to miss the point and what my comments were based on (someone mentioning PPG/36min, without actually mentioning the corresponding shooting numbers).
Really don't get why you guys jump in and put words into my mouth. All I've said is that mentioning PPG without shooting percentages is a useless metric and that Louis is struggling right now.



All the crap about "negative addition", "net negative performance", "worse than Brewer" came from you guys, not me.

"PER (which you didn't actually post, or compare against anyone else)"
I wasn't bringing PER into the conversation and never meant to. You guys seriously need to read more carefully, jesus.

 

hmmm......interesting observation....

 

If he's less of a negative than Brewer then it's a win.

 

Ehh, I wouldn't call it a strength but he's not terrible at it. He's a decent bench combo-guard, and while he may not be a great distributor he is solid at creating offense. He's a good secondary ball-handler who draws foul and can penetrate.

 

They need to let Lou shoot mid-2's. Full greenlight.

No, I'm not anti-Morey-3. But Lou Williams isn't Lou Williams when he's limited. He becomes way too easy to guard when you take away that much court from him. Plus, he uses easy jumpers to get his game going. He isn't Jordan Crawford.

Plus, teams that actually gameplan for us are giving us those shots all day. Now we finally have someone that can do some damage there. *Harden is good at them too obviously, but he can get his at the rim or from the 3 with ease, unlike Lou.

Kawhi & LA shoot them all day. Spurs win 55+ like it's their job. Shooting 2's are fine. If you're good at it.

 

isnt he already allowed to do that?

 

I want to see this guy take 15 to 20 shots a game. He needs to forget about creating for others and just look for his

 

Well Brewer had a +3.5, but he was playing with super hot Gordon. Also he was a more natural fit coming in for Ariza as a wing defender

 

I agree.

I think Harden's ball dominating is the issue. Let Lou be Lou and have Harden play off the ball a little bit more.

 

only thing worse than his shot selection is his ridiculously non-existent defense

 

He just needs to settle down and make the right decision. Too many times he forced a pass when he had the easy teardrop.

I'm not worried about him. He is a vet. A scoring vet. He will do his thing

But I am worried about his defense. Lol

 

Agreed. I feel like Lou is used to shouldering more (coming from the Lakers) so he may be just learning to adjust. Players have made the transition faster though. I was thinking we try dribble drive motion with EGo at the a corner and Lou as a driver to help give them some direction in terms of coexistence.

 

He is money from Conner 3 which means he doesn't have the longer shot. He is what is. He is pretty good sixth man who can light it up, but can't play d.

 

Don't forget you heard it here first people.

Lou Williams can't shoot and isn't worth much

- Yung-T

 

lol at this

 

mouth, meet foot.

 

You need to go back to the thread when we first signed Eric Gordon and expose/line up the doubters.

 

Gordon was struggling before the addition of Lou. So was Dekker. Harrell sits because both Clint and Nene are healthy and playing well.

 

If you put Lou Will on the Lakers, he would average 18 ppg and still would be nowhere near the playoffs.

He is a specialist role player, master at what he does who needed a winning side badly. We provided that.

Same with Gordon at Nola.

The Rockets are going around the globe to dig out players with high upside but being either in other countries or overlooked playing for bad, average teams.

Beverley, Beasley, Dleague Chuck Hayes, Wafer, Joe Dorsey (ok as 15th man), Lou, Gordon, Anderson

The list goes on
