The NBA rookies Thread

[bksballer89]

LOL

Because I keep embarrassing you. I've burned you on literally every bit of bullshit you post.

You're not embarrassing anything. You just been bringing up irrelevant points that I don't care about so therefore I'm not going to get into a pointless back and forth

You look at all of them. THere is no one perfect measure. PER does not measure efficiency very well though.

Ben Simmons:

Ok, amongst rookies:

16th in True shooting %
11th in Turnovers

The two MAJOR stats for a PG that mattered most.

I hear:

"blah blah blah, I can't keep up, blah blah blah I give up"

In which case Kobe would have 3 MVPs and Steve Nash none.

Exactly.

Nash should not have won any. Curry should maybe have 1, definitely not 2. LeBron should have 6 or 7.

I won't complain anymore about Russ winning last year though. Despite the inefficiency. He broke records.

Ben Simmons:

Why are you bringing him into this?

His efficiency is better than Lonzo'. Not good for sure, but most high volume rookies struggle with efficiency. Ball will more than most, IMO. But the counting stats will be very good.

 

[trojanfan12]

Sure.

He dished out 13 assists vs New Orleans and the team was -24 with him on the floor. Do you know how hard that is to do?

lol

An obvious anomaly proves nothing.

 

[trojanfan12]

Becuase the average person does not understand the game of basketball well enough to realize how inefficient he was.

Good thing it's not the average person doing the voting.

@Mecca is the only female poster on SportsHoopla worth debating basketball with

Isn't she the only woman in here?

 

[bksballer89]

There's 3 I believe

What do you have against LAD?

 

[bksballer89]

What do you have against LAD?

Just get absolutely no where in debates. Pointless. Mecca seems to have a better understanding of the game than the other 2

Because when we talk, it's hardly a debate. It's me absolutlely clowning you.

But continue to bitch and cry.

I agree.

It really is though.

Not talking about Westbrook specifically here. But most media who vote for the award don't know the game well enough to distinguish between guys like Nash and Kobe in terms of impact. That is why it has turned into a best performance award.

Can someone with the best performance be inefficient?

Okay, sure. Whatever you say.

Media can vote based on what would be a better story or who treats them better, not necessarily who deserves it the most.

Exactly.

And, who deserves it most in their eyes often comes down to who has the best simple stats on a winning team.

Clearly. Westbrook was very inefficient last year, but his triple double average was impossible to ignore.
