He was an high scorer before entering the NBA. He just looks very nervous and wants to do amazing things without making mistakes. There seems to be a lot going on in his head when he has the ball.
he's a definite upgrade over chris clemons at the backup PG spot. may not have clemons' footspeed or athleticism, but he's a much better playmaker and more composed letting the game come to him. also has a craftiness to his game to create space and get his shot off
I mean McCollum was never an Allstar but putting up 27, 5 apg, and 47% FG and 40% from 3. Sometimes recognition comes in real late.
I like how you started a poll, called him the real deal and then I see only my vote for either MVP or All Star. Ironic or you didn't vote on your poll?
I'm currently eating crow and will continue. Thought he was a bum but he can be a role player at the least
He'd be lucky to be a roleplayer. Would be out of the league if tilmen wasnt digging through the garbage bin to fill out the roster
I think at this point anything i choose will be a complete guess. If you can shoot threes like he was the last game, or even half as good (3-8 instead of 6-8), then he can get some PT. As good as the threes were, the 4 assists to 6 turnovers wasn't great.
Both Jones and Tate will be solid rotation player, I hope. Let's trade Gordon and Tucker for a real center. Cousins can join the AARP.
