    Early season numbers VanVleet is top 10 in point guards.

    I have no problem happily being wrong about Fred Van Fleet. Listen he's not that efficient but he makes buckets when we need them and he sets Sengun up well and he calms things down. He def deserves his flowers. Considering I was right on KPJ, Sengun and Silas a man cant always be right lol

    No shame in being wrong. I'd rather be wrong by putting faith in my guys than the other way around, but yeah, you can't bat .1000 trying to predict the future. Props for your view on things.

    Really hope FVV can get his shooting % and True Shooting % up a bit.

    I think Pippen was technically a trade, but yeah…. Especially since getting rid of Pippen led to the terrible Cato contract and a bunch of other bad decisions afterwards.

    He can't even make a single shot on the road. I can't understand it.

    the only thing i don't like from fred is the forced 3's he feels like he has to take to "settle the team down" when things are starting to slip away.

    he is doing everything else very well and we're lucky to have him.

    FVV shooting 38% is straight ass, but hey at least everyone can pile on Jalen and forget this guy can chuck at will because hey 8 assists per game!!! 42 MILLION per season. LOL.

    Comments like this make it seem like you don’t actually watch the games.

    Our much improved record is largely a result of FVV. After Sengun, he’s been our best player and is probably our most important one too.

    38% 3pt shooting. He's back to his career average after a bad shooting season. And almost 60% of his shots are 3s. He's a floor spacer, and a playmaker. He plays by far the most minutes despite the fact that his backup Holiday is playing pretty well.

    So he's a 42M version of Dennis Schroder. Cool.

    That's exactly what I said in another thread. He can't shoot at all
