Link to stats 10.2 ppg 49% FG 37% 3Pt 4.2 rpg His slump seems to be further behind him now, we need his instant offense off the bench. Hey Bud, keep partying ! DD
yet he continues to be a turnstile on defense and airballed a WIDE OPEN 3 yesterday. He better thank Lowry for that percentage. I'm sure 70% of those makes are layups from Lowry passes.
He looks a lot more active there, and has made some good progress, he is not a lock down defender, but has been very active on the boards.... DD
He is going to have to wait his turn, but I am sure he will get a shot, either through injury, trade, slump, something... I noticed that too, maybe he was not getting the elevation due to his ankle, but he has been playing above the rim the last couple of games, so must be feeling better. 10 points in only 20 minutes off the bench is good production, we need it to avoid those dry spells... DD
The Sac Town and Cleveland games skew the stats a bit. In his last three games he has continued to struggle with his shot, 7-21. I like Bud, thought the guy was ready to take the leap to being a starting SF this season but it's clearly obivous he needs much more work.
Rockets are giving him a chance to break out of the slump, probably because they're trying to trade him.
Yeah, they did say that, but it was not true....Durant scored on a few other folks during that time. But, Cbud is not going to be able to guard Durant, I mean no one can... Could be, or they realize that they should not judge a guy in a slump, after he has proven over an entire year he can play. My guess is the Rocket's are not as knee jerk as a good number of fans on this site are..... DD
When you look at the last five games in a little more detail. You see verses cle and sac he played well, but verses okc (Durant) and Memphis (Gay) he played like crap.
I hope he improves so we can get some value in a trade. Bud will never be more than an 8th or 9th man on a championship squad and thats his upside.
You are the best poster here, no way you get banned. Sounds like a lot of our players.....lol.... Play better against the bad teams and have difficulty against the better ones.... DD
