Why is Juwan Howard not considered the third option?

Because he sucks. He's good at shooting a wide- open mid- range jumper and finishing the occasional post move but otherwise he is not a consistent scoring option.

 

Howard is just lacking in the skills to be anything but a back up player in the 21st.Cent NBA. He is slow, non athletic and well past his peak.
His only saving grace is that he can be pressured into making an efort when key players are missing. These peaks are rare moments when he plays like we all would like him to play in every game.

 

The thing is because he is a PF, he can't camp on the mid-range since he has to crash the boards too . Otherwise, I will prefer he take all the wide-open mid-range shots than our guards taking the give-me-a-heart-attack threes.

 

this is proof that there are 2 types of people on this board:

people who watch nba games

and

people who look at stats

 

Future HOF? LOL. Dude has been on horrible teams his whole NBA career and stats are so inflated because of that.

 

Juwan a Hall of Famer?

of what? ping pong? reading childrens books?

Stromile should win MVP if Juwan makes the hall of fame.
hell, Shandon Anderson would be runner up.

 

He's not a legit third option because:

1. He usually needs a lot of touches to get his points. And since a third option isn't going to get as many touches as the first and second, he naturally should have the ability to score efficiently.

2. Juwan's jumper is very hit or miss. Some games, he's unconscious and even clutch with his jumper, and other games he's stone cold.

Efficiency and consistency, that in a nutshell is why Juwan isn't a third option.

 

that 60 win mavs team was pretty good... he was the 4th option then too.

 

R2D2,

the Rockets have some guy named Tmac and a tall chinese guy name Yao.
Its called math.

put Juwan on the Lakers, he'd average 6 pts.
it would be

Juwan -6pts
Mihm -4pts
Lamar Odom -2pts
Smush Parker -2pts
Kobe -81pts

 

hello stat reader, he got traded mid season to that team.
he was the DARKO MILLICICH of that team.

 

Juwan isn't a good 3rd option. Juwan should be our 4th option.

I think when most people say "3rd option" we're talking about Kyle Korver, or Manu or Mr. Longoria, or Tayshaun Prince. Someone who knocks down open shoots and isn't a superstar. We need a Bruce Bowen to help open up the offense and keep defenses from crowding yao and tracy or yao or tracy.

Juwan is more of a decent role player. He is consistent, but his jumper is key to his game. If its on, we're good to go, if its off then we might as well sub in chuck hayes.

 

fixed your post.

 

The Mavs team Juwan was on won 53 games on 00-01. They lost to the Spurs in the semis.

Then they got rid of Juwan 53 games into the 2001-02 season, and proceeded to win 57, then 60 games after those two seasons.

 

the game is called basketball. any rockets fan who actually watches basketball would give up their liver and spleen for ginobli,parker, or prince to be on this team.

We need a Clutchfans BBS just for people who actually watch basketball. Clutch, you need to have some Wonderlic test to let people in this site.

I think we should focus on someone like Howard too. he has a pretty decent post up move.

I'm sick and tired of seeing us jack up so many threes. Rafer can't hit ****. and Wesley has been ailing lately. We have been shooting WAYYYYYYYyyyyyyyyyyyy too many threes lately.

 

JHo has been paid enough over his career to be a hall of famer.

 

Juwon is not an efficient/reliable enough scorer to be a 3rd option.

That being said you shouldn't rip on someone if they can't get access to actual games. Keep in mind that torrent files can take freakin' ages to DL sometimes and without a broadband connection it's pretty hard to constantly be downloading games.

Living outside of the US makes it even more difficult. I had to live on stats/internet for years until i got my broadband connection. (Thanks R2K for providing games).

So maybe consider these things-u guys in the U.S have it pretty good when it comes to watching the NBA.

But no, we need a better 3rd option than Howard. A 3pt shooter/slasher is preferred.

 

sorry i forgot that some people cant watch the games. just watch one game with juwan and you'll understand.

or get some satellite dish and watch some NBATV or League Pass!

come on people, its 2006 not 1886.
