Offense has become who ever touches ball after half court is shooting it.

Why is ball not in your young pg’s hands, he needs to run the point and not play off the ball. Stupid he’s not you Billups he’s more like Jason Kidd, coaches didn’t play Kidd off the ball.
 
Zubac is simply the best player on the floor in tonights game.. ill give credit where credits due..
 
Scoot, you need to be taking notes on what Brogdon’s doing

Oh I see so the first 70 games where he was what 8th man off the bench watching Dame and Ant dominate the ball stuck in the corner was a good time to see his passing skills huh? Dude get real, Sharpe is actually a quite good passer and is NOTHING LIKE the way Ant is with his tunnel vision. Sharpe was told to shoot the ball when passed to him until the final 10 games when he had ball handling and playing making duties and then he passed very well. He also passed extremely well in the pre-season. So yes, ever since Sharpe has had any amount of touches and ball handling duties he has been a willing passer. He also didn't get assists while sitting on the bench, because like being stuck in the corner, it doesn't tell you much about someone's passing abilities for the same reason, you don't have the ball in your hands. Context is pretty relevant, and again, Sharpe is already a more willing passer than Ant has ever been and it's not remotely close. Nor does Sharpe have "black hole tendencies".

He absolutely has demonstrated black hole tendencies. I showed you stats.

You said he "always" is a willing passer. While you choose not to trust the stats I gave you entirely, you backtracked or redefined "always" or forgot what you said or thought I wouldn't remember what you said... presumably based on the overwhelming evidence that he was one of the biggest black holes on our team last year.

In any case, you're wrong. You disagreed with me based on a feeling and your memories of ten games (where he definitely got more assists--he had 32 of his 94 assists in his last six games!). And now you're moving the goalposts because you don't want to admit you stuck your neck out and got it chopped off.

Billupsball is dribble dribble dribble, ball screen, everyone else stands like a statue around the three point line.

There is no one to defend him. It makes it quite easy for him.
 
Hmmmmmm Brogdon out.... Simons out...... Scoot gets to play point guard and immediately scores. Is that a coincidence?

He looked really good in the first two games.

He looked okay against Utah.

He looked really bad against Phoenix.

He has looked even worse than the last game of preseason.

I get that he's 19, but his confidence has been getting progressively worse with every game. I think it's something to be mildly concerned about. Shaedon was supposed to be a project. Scoot was not.

Or NBA scouting is doing what they get paid for.

just going by the mood here, i don't feel like some of you realized what this team was getting into when they decided to blow it up.

the funny thing is the people complaining were the ones calling for a demolition loudest.

We were probably always headed here as soon as we let Stotts take the fall and replaced him with a rookie coach with next to no experience coaching at any level.

The shit show was written on the walls.

What should have happened was we should have fired Olshey, kept Stotts and gotten him a defensive coordinator.

I'd much rather have Stotts overseeing this rebuild than Billups.

This team looks like it has no idea what it's supposed to do.
 
Whoever is telling Grant he can dribble needs to knock it off... He shouldn't dribble. Pretty much ever.
