Batum's all around game

[PtldPlatypus]

Players who have had a season with over 6 rebounds and 5 assists per 36 minutes, while hitting over 40% from 3.

• Larry Bird (5 times)
• Fat Lever
• Jason Kidd
• Lebron James

Small sample size, and all that, but is he doing anything so far early in the season that seems far outside of his abilities? Even with a reduced FG% and reduced scoring, he's pretty unique and special in terms of his ability to contribute in multiple ways.

He really is the epitome of the glue guy

 

[Boise Blazer]

Fat Lever was good. The only guy to ever do 20 pts, 20 rebs and 10 ast TWICE.

This guy rebounded like that at 6'3" and 170lbs. Same height as Lillard and 25 pounds lighter.

The first think I thought when looking at that list was "Oh, *that's* why Golden State went after David Lee."

That was a crazy game. The ONLY 30 pt, 20 reb and 10 ast game ---- EVER.

Well, back to 1985. The Stern era. 40% of league history.

In the modern era. I'd bet that Wilt had a couple games like that, and probably Oscar Robertson too.

That's when Fat was Thin.

How good would Minny be if they got Batum?

Nah, he's much more than a glue guy. Claver is a glue guy. Glue guys don't drop triple doubles

'first think I thought'? That takes talent.

If you want to think of him more than that's all good. I think he's a very good glue guy. I would never think he could lead a team to greatness. I think he's an important piece.

My definition of a "glue guy" is someone who does a little bit of everything. Claver is a great example of a glue guy. Batum does a lot of everything. That's why I don't personally think "glue guy" does him justice.

Can't we just say "super glue"?

Maybe we call Claver "DGlue" as it appears he may only be Dleague caliber, can't really call Vic a glue guy when he is always ""glued" to the bench

I'm still trying, and it won't work. Maybe I need to rep myself for a while at home...

All this positive talk about Batum has to be the REAL reason RoyToy left. I mean, I don't think that guy was ever going to change his stance on Batum.

I don't think so. This is why posters like Roytoy and Blue9 can't ever be truly happy with the team. They would rather see the player fail than watch them succeed.

I, in Leonard's case, want him to make me look like a fool so I can go homer on him. Until then, it's soooooo hard to look at anything positive. I still have hope though!

 

[Blazinaway]

seriously, besides Lebron and Durant, how many all around SF's are there in the league better than Batum if he maintains his current level of play?

I am with U on Meyer's, I "hope" he makes me eat _____,

Keep my name out your mouth.

blue9 cannot be truly happy with this team as long as Aldridge is on it. FACT…..

Excuse Mags. He has a habit of putting anything and everything in his mouth.

Once more and I'm reporting you - keep my fucking name out your mouth.

reporting me? LMAO! For what? Calling you out for your hatred? This isn't Olive buddy, you should jump back there with all the other negative nannies.
