He's not a bad player but looks like he might be below average

k

Yes, and?

Your craptastic Knicks got 9 months off before the season started. The Lakers had a couple of weeks. Lebron leads the league in minutes played per game and has only missed 1 game. The game only existed for 1 reason; TV contracts. No fans could attend (or watched apparently, judging by the ratings).

bingo!

 

[shopson67]

no...and being below avg. or bad in one category does not make you a below avg. or bad player. Though I guess the point of mentioning his age is that some 21-year-olds have been known to improve as they age.

You were the one building up hand-picked stats. PER is an amalgamation of most stats (at least offensive, anyway). Anyone playing over 30 min/game with a PER around12 isn't excelling.

I like the kid and wanted the Lakers to draft him, but your fandom is taking over a bit.

Using Lebron as an example is a joke!

he’s like a player/coach at this point.

has he even broke a sweat in the last 5 years ?

Ummm,

You're so bad at this LOL

...and a 12.72 PER, below average for the league

practically identical to Schroeder's PER- a 10 year vet.

ya know who had a great PER?

Hassan Whiteside.

Chris Boucher and Jarret Allen have top 20 PER's in the league.

while PER is a tool- looking at it in a vacuum and judging a player by it is pretty dumb.

Montrez Harrell and Rudy Gubert have identical PER's.

Enes Kanter has a higher PER than Chris Paul

Richaun Holmes has a higher PER than Donovan Mitchell.

 

[WiggyRuss]

PER tends to overate big men and underrate guards. The shooting% and rebounding tend to skew. Esp. if you are on a bad team and get a bunch of garbage stats.

Think you wanting to argue is taking over and that's cool. It's a sports forum and that's expected. Just own it.

what stats did I handpick? It was not my post. Only said I'd like to see his FG% improve and he's been a lot better than I expected based on last season. Certainly didn't call him great by any stretch.

Does below avg. in one stat really even matter that much? Especially this one for a PG?

That was kind of odd.

Ok, I was out of line with the Lebron comments, years ago he literally stole some of the knick players. Not a fan of his, although he will go down record wise as best ever.

when he was with Cleveland, during game he was actually giving advice to certain knick players, that ended up in Cleveland the next season.

do that shit after game, who the fack are you is the way I felt. Never saw MJ do that.

"years ago he literally stole some of the Knicks players"

And which players did he "steal"? Can you name them? Or is this just another lie, like how you claim to personally know former NBA players? You've never mentioned which players. Wonder why that is?

Only a matter of time before you try to say Garland > Luka.

Doliac, jr. and another I believe.... shumpert

Interesting. First of all it's Michael Doleac. And he's not a junior. I looked up his numbers. And you're trying to say LeBron "stole" him? Well let's see here. Doleac played for the Cavs for one season, 2001-02. And the Cavs didn't draft LeBron until 2003. He also played for the Heat from 2005 to 2007. LeBron didn't get to Miami until the 2010-11 season. So you're outright lying again.

And Shumpert. LeBron "stole" him but not JR Smith? They were both traded to the Cavs at the same time.

Here's what you said.

Sure looks like Michael Doliac, jr. to me. You don't even know how to put a proper comment together. You should have said Doliac, JR & Shumpert. Also you said LeBron played with Doleac. Which is incorrect.
