  1. @CamOnSports Presumably because of his shooting form, high-school record, what scouts have seen, etc. I don't know. I haven't scouted him.
  2. @CamOnSports Again, he might be a superstar for all I know. But no-one projects him as an elite three-point shooter.
  3. @CamOnSports Right. There's a reputation/projection as a shooter to fall back on. Who says that about Lamb?
  4. @CamOnSports I'm not dismissing Lamb as a player. Haven't seen enough. But 3P-shooting not his calling card.
  5. @CamOnSports Kleiza's career 3P% is lower than Rudy's. Lamb shot 34% last year from college three. Those aren't shooters.
  6. @CamOnSports If I'm dealing Rudy for role players/mid-lotto pick/flexibility -- which I might do -- I want more shooting coming back.
  7. @CamOnSports Rudy's PER was 17.8. Thanks for proving my point about people assuming the best value from a pick instead of most likely value.
  8. @CamOnSports Didn't dismiss it. It's a deal worth talking about. But there's no sure thing Top 7 rotation player coming back. "Dominate"?
  9. @CamOnSports I think people overrate mid-lottery picks because they assume the best, not the average value.
  10. @CamOnSports All 3 vets in that deal had a sub-15 PER last year (15 = leag. avg.). Last 5 #8 picks: Knight/Aminu/J.Hill/J.Alexander/B.Wright
  11. @CamOnSports So there's nothing conceivable in-between? Maybe something involving a Marcus Thornton or Klay Thompson + stuff?
  12. @CamOnSports That's about the worst deal I would actually consider. Wouldn't do it, though.
  13. @DraftExpress Better pro? John Jenkins or Doron Lamb? #DXChat
  14. @KeithRClark Should have gotten better value than a late first (which they then blew) for Lowry, though.
  15. @KeithRClark Yeah. I always liked Lowry as a player, but they had to make a choice and I never thought they made the wrong one.
  16. @KeithRClark Well, I think most of knew that Lowry had a chippy personality. So does Lionel. Oil and water, maybe.
  17. Maybe the Kyle Lowry-Lionel Hollins issue was more about Lowry: bit.ly/JKHsbE
  18. @JayCarlock Right. But when you have $7.5 to spend and half of that will go to Arthur or Speights, options are limited.
  19. @JayCarlock If they don't deal RG and can't draft a PG (M.Teague?), feel like they may be stuck with the Selby/Pargo/maybe Arenas mix there.
