Patrick Beverley has the highest PER in the NBA... :D

Patrick


There can be only one.

 

The people taking this thread seriously need their head examined. We're on a 5 game losing streak, let us have some fun!! BEVERLEY THRILLS BABY

 

picture fail

 

Yep... Exactly...

 

I don't think McHale's bright enough to go with a 4 guard rotation like the Clippers.

Chris Paul
Jamal Crawford
Eric Bledsoe
Willie Green or Chauncey Billups

=

Jeremy Lin
James Harden
Patrick Beverley
Toney Douglas

 

Nooo! Keep TD. I've grown to like him a lot this season. Can't do much besides hit 3s, miss lay-ups, and dribble pointlessly, but he's an excellent shooter.

 

TD made two driving layups in traffic against the Clippers and has been driving more and converting inside recently. Against Milwaukee, TD scored on drive after drive, but his specialty is perimeter shooting (41% 3-point) and he can play both guard positions. Nice guy who fits alongside Lin, Harden or Beverley in a backcourt.

PPM is higher than Lin's.
A/TO ratio is better than Harden's.

 

Beverley does not have the highest PER in the NBA.

Daniel Orton does.

 

I feel for Toney, he has played really well this season and he's always really positive and happy for the other players.

I noticed when Lin goes to the bench if he is sucking, he just has his head down and doesn't pay that much attention to how his team mates are doing and doesn't always applaud his team mates's good play.

I think Morey is gearing up to trade Toney and one of the bigs, that why the standard rotation has gone out of the window.

That said, PB is a good player and if he makes Lin play a bit more selfish I think it will benefit Lin's game.

 

Really liked what I saw from Beverley last night, but like Lin he's going to have to learn how to be effective while sharing the court with Harden. He was great when he was out there with Lin and Harden on the bench, but as soon as Harden came back he became invisible offensively. Really excited to see what he can do with extended minutes and a couple more practices with the team.

And I don't think Beverley getting a spot in the rotation means Douglas is on his way out. If anything, we just expanded our guard rotation so Lin and Harden can get more rest instead of logging 35+ minutes on back to backs. As many have said, given our pace there's no way our guys will last if McHale keeps playing a 8-9 man rotation.

 

Don't forget those entertaining buzzer-beaters!!
