Every time I watch the Grizzlies I wonder why we let him go... Yes, he would've been a great fit in MDA's system.
You have short memory. The Rox let him go because he sucked. He sucked at offense because his shots were erratic at times and he also can't guard his own shadow when he was in here.
Just because a player gets traded, that doesn't mean he sucks. Daniels had a 48% FG percentage with his limited playing time during his rookie year 2013-2014. He was also traded a few months after his rookie season for Corey Brewer, currently the most hated Rockets player in this forum because Brewer sucks and the numbers prove it. So before you insult my memory, know your stats and facts tough guy =)
So you are not just having short memory but also having a hard time to accept simple facts. You are using the stats of a guy played 5 games to argue he is a decent player? What? Are you a LOF and also want to argue his first 7 starts are greater than Magic and MJ. After the Rockets signed him to a multi years deal that summer after his first 5 games, he played 47 games in the next season for the Rockets while shooting 37% and average 3.7 points. He was struggling to even find minutes on the floor because his defense is so bad. And that's why he got dumped, not only once, but also the Twolves dumped him to the Hornets the same season. And even he got some games showed some flash in the Hornets, he eventually got dumped again last summer to the Grizs for trade exemption and cash. No one insulted you except your own self.
LOF? Hahaha You just pulling sh** opinions out of thin air? You're probably a Brewer Only Fan for attacking people that miss Daniels. Now I get it.. The topic of conversation is how he played for the Rockets because they traded him and not his stints elsewhere. You shouldn't be so defensive on this board topic as your favorite man Brewer is getting too much minutes and has somehow tricked every Rockets coach into playing him despite his horrendous play. haha Gotta give him credit for that though haha
Yeah Troy on this current Rockets team would've been something to see, but who knows if we get Eric Gordon if he's still here. I'll take EGO every time
Troy was actually my second favorite Rocket while he was here (behind Harden). But come on, we all know the real reason he isn't here. Never forget... HILARIOUS
So you finally get mad because now you been told of the 'actual facts' about a scrub whose scoring average 3.7 points per game in 40 plus games while also playing zero defense in the Rox, and then you are so embarrassed and felt the only way to defend yourself was to call other being a Brewer only fan? This is the best you can do? Nice.
LOF? Hahaha You just pulling sh** opinions out of thin air now? You're probably a Brewer Only Fan for attacking people that miss Daniels. Now I get it.. The topic of YOUR original argument is how he played for the Rockets because they traded him and not his stints elsewhere as you yourself devalue his current performance in Memphis. You shouldn't be so defensive on this board topic as your favorite man Brewer is getting too much minutes and has somehow tricked every Rockets coach into playing him despite his horrendous play. haha Gotta give him credit for his trickery though haha Everyone, Texanasiafan strongly believes that Corey Brewer is as greater fit for MDA's offense!! What a dunce! lol
You are the one who started calling me a LOF out of thin air, with no basis. lol You expect a rookie Daniels to be a superstar in his 1st year despite giving the Rockets decent minutes/numbers? And stop using numbers or stats out of YOUR original argument of Daniels playing for the Rockets just to get some irrelevant facts. Such an idiot. lol
Either it was McHale's lack of an offensive system or him having a bad start to the season but Daniels really sucked it up the year we traded him. I liked him as much as the next Rockets fan for his heroics against Portland but the dude couldn't hit wide open 3s when given PT the year after that playoff series. But yea...probably McHale's lack of an offensive system is what did him in here.
Since we're on the subject of what could have been, could you imagine if the Rockets had kept Robert Covington and drafted Kawhi Leonard instead of Marcus Morris? Wow.
This is another lazy assessment. You're right, McHale did not have a system and Harden was literally playing ISO ball every possession. It wasn't that Troy sucked. It was the looks were horrible given McHale never ran plays. Anybody who knows basketball knows that if you have to shoot a 3 of the dribble (with a man on you) the % are lower vs a catch & shoot 3pter of a set play. You're partially correct in McHale's system or lack thereof
even if we had troy though, where would he play? bev, harden, gordon takes up all the minutes already at the 2.
You can call it whatever you want, point is when Daniels had the green light to shoot (which was pretty much every time otherwise why put him in?) he didn't hit at an acceptable rate, even for McHale. So, high level speaking, Daniels DID suck. If you want me to pull the %s for you I can do so for you.
Yea but what exactly is the "greenlight"? Everybody had the greenlight last year and we as a team SUCKED shooting 3's last year. We jacked 3's up at a record pace and bricked them at the same pace too. So did Troy Daniels suck or did we suck at getting him open looks? We already know he hits open shots when given
