You keep ignoring the fact that Adelman's system decreases assists. 7 assists/2.8 turnovers is the same as 10 assists/4 turnovers. Who is to say Brooks wouldn't average 7 assists if not for Adelman's system? Do you know that he wouldn't? In fact I already expect him to average 7+ assists next season, as I mentioned, since his assist numbers have been climbing every month and took a big jump when we traded for Martin. Yao returning plus AB's additional experience will increase them even more.
People call Yao soft because he's tall and doesn't dunk everytime. What they fail to realize is it is just tough to go around dunking on folks when you're 7'6 tall. I would say he is slow and not soft like so many claim. Again people expect him to block every shot and not get dunked on just because he's 7'6. Another misconception by people who think Yao is a bad defensive player. Hopefully he gets healthy and can stay healthy so people realize how good and valuable he is.
Shiiiiiiii, I'd take Curry for Brooks and toss them a pick before they change their minds. I still love Brooks though. I try not to get attached to the players because then I'd get all sad like some were about Landry. It's a Business.
omg. ab has reached elite status already? so next couple of years he keeps improving, he officially becomes mj no.2? what has this board come to...
What logic is that? I certainly don't know if AB would go 7+ assists, but how to you know he would while keep TO at the same rate? I'm talking about the fact, he's 5/3, which is not a good decision maker at this moment. If he gets 7/2, I'll give him props and call him a great decision maker. But that hasn't happened yet. You? Talk with assumptions only. AT this moment, even Lowry is a better decision maker than AB, and by no means Lowry is an All star or elite.
You are so wrong because they are more 99 elite pgs in the league. So he is correct. AB belongs to ELITE!
I agree with what you said in your previous post. Blind AB lovers never see things objectively. They underrate other team's PG just to overrate AB more.
I'm not making any assumptions, I'm throwing out a possible number. Morey is the one who said Adelman's system lowers assists, specifically. He didn't mention anything about turnovers. Also, AB is averaging 5.4 assists and 2.8 turnovers, which is actually a fairly big difference in ratio between "5 and 3". I like how you round his assists down and his turnovers up. Yeah, you're not biased...
Also, nobody is saying AB is elite now. We're saying he has shown tons of improvement and the strong potential to become an elite point guard in the future. Maybe as soon as next season.
Thats just stupid. Trying to define one metric as the end all be all of poing guard-dom and then calling the other person uneducated for not buying it is asinine. The entire Jazz and NO systems are built around the PG's breaking down the defenses and creating opportunity from that. 90% of thier plays are pick and rolls with Okur/Boozer and West. Our offense isnt built like that. Ours is built around motion and screens where any player can potentially make the assisting pass. We also run a ton more and make risky long court passes for easy buckets.
To be exact, 5.3, not 5.4. 5/3 is a rounded number. If you don't like it I'm fine with that. But even at 5.3/2.8, he's still at bottom of the ast/To ratio for NBA starting guards, in other words, a below average decision maker at best. Oh, Morey said RA's system lowers assists, and you throwing out a much higher number, then you call that's not an assumption? How can so many of you AB lovers don't have a logical thinking, but good at playing denial game?
Now who is stupid? Our system is not build around PG, fine. But that doesn't explain why AB got so many TOs. Is RA's system designed to have low assist/high Tos for PGs? I don't think so. That ration makes AB a below average decision maker. Not asists number only or Tos only. OK, I take back that uneducated comment. That was the comment thrown on me by one of your AB lovers even though he was getting owned, but I didn't see you guys pointed out at that moment.
agreed ppl hate on him way too much ..the guy is still developing giv him some time .. he is an allstar ..some ppl dont realize what they have till they lose it
maybe you are overating Curry over brooks don't you think? the guy has been playing out of his mind lately because he is the only good player on that team!! tell me one thing that Curry made him really impressive other than the 1 triple double that he got. If Ab was playing for the warriors this season he would've averaged at least 25 PPG and 7 APG, not to mention this guy is undersized and he is barely 6 ft. I would take Brooks over curry in a heartbeat.
I'll call him an all-star if he gets in an All Star game, voted or not. No hating, AB's still developing, and this season he developed at a higher rate than I expected. But that doesn't make him an all-star or elite player.
I have NBA league pass so I WATCH games. I really don't care for the stat lines. Curry is unbelievable at times. He plays with the calmness and smoothness of a vet and his shot is flawless. His vision is superb and his craftiness is crazy. He's the only true Point Guard that stood out from this draft. Jennings is a chucker and Evans is a ball hog. Beware of the baby faced killer for years to come.
