Don't think he's a superstar but Dragic would definitely make the all star team if he was in the Eastern Conference and arguably deserves to make it from West (but probably won't go). Not that Lin isn't having a good season too. Now leading all PGs (regardless of minutes) in TS% despite being rusty the past few games. Hope that's rust, not something physical.
You can compare them but it wouldn't be fair at all. One is the focal point of the whole playbook while the other is a contributor coming from injury and position as a 6th man. Dragic= PS4 Lin= Xbox One
The dude doesn't have the explosiveness, seems hesitant to drive. His knee is probably still bothering him.
Yeah, I'ts kind of ridiculous how everybody is assuming Dragić is somehow this elevated focal point of everything the Suns do, and that's the reason why he's so succesful. He had to sacrifice a significant amount of his game to make things work with Bledsoe. Almost all of the time he's on the court with him he has to give Eric the ball, because he's not nearly as effective playing off the ball as Goran is, even though Goran's game is a lot more suited for playing with the ball also. He never really was a volume scorer, he was a guy who would establish himself as a offensive threat and use his speed to collapse the defence and kick the ball out, or draw the defender on the p&r and pass it to the big - that was essentially his game. Now he suddenly has to give away the ball and completly redesign his game in order to become an efficient off the ball scorer. To his credit he has been doing a great job and hopefully he continuous with it in the future. But you can clearly see how different his game is with Bledsoe in the starting lineup or without him, if you look the stats he was posting while Eric was out: - six games Eric was out: 20.8 PPG 9.7 APG 52.0% - since he came back: 21.8 PPG 3.2 APG 53.6 % His efficiency is still holding up, but his game and his role has significantly changed.
Funny that PGs like Dragic and Lin play way above their heads when used as Undersized SGs. They are in fact Shooting guards with dishing abilities.
Necessary bump. Dragic has been deadly and valuable in helping the Suns overachieve. Lowry has been balling and the Raptors are on fire largely because of him. Lin is busy making turnovers and overall playing stupid.
IF THAT'S THE CASE.....SET ME UP TO FAIL TOO AT 3YRS $25M. REALLY, HE COULDN'T BE IN A BETTER SITUATION
You are so realistic right, you Sir are the Light of reasoning, Lin was overall stupid playing, resulting losses in these past games against Spurs, Grizzlies and New Orleans. repped if i could
The team just had 4 games in 5 nights. Lin played pretty decent in 3 of those games, with the last one being terrible. It's safe to assume the team was dead tired. Lin will eventually bounce back. If he can once again give us his usual 15pts/4-5 asts a game as a fourth option, that should be comparably just as good as what Lowry and Dragic are doing
Put Lowry and Dragic under Mchale and play with Harden and DH first, before you compare those 3, Lin never has the freedom like the other 2.
Tonight will be telling of his upward trend that was akin to what he was showing in the beginning of the season! Wait for it!
