Exclusive Plumlee a Blazer

[MarAzul]

Guess where I'm going with this is...practice makes perfect...Obviously the more times LA would have rolled it would have forced Dame to make the play and get better at it...LA popped more often than not.

Perhaps. I gather you think it all on Lamarcus that they never ran the play. Odd, but so be it. Still seems funny that Freeman thinks Damian run it with Plumlee.

Not all on LA. Just throwing it out there, Marzy. Coaches and Damian's ineffectivness can take some blame. But If LA was adamant in rolling the way Karl Malone was back in the day. You and I probably wouldn't be discussing this...

It appears there is no point in any case with No Lamarcus. But I betcha Plumlee can't make a play off low bounce pass either. We have seen Leonard try and come up dry.

 

[Scalma]

What is this pick and roll bullshit just lob it at the rim and plums will hammer it down

 

[MarAzul]

just lob it at the rim

Yes sir! That is the proper pass to the big fellas.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Let the Plummer PLUNGE it down!

Next development in Dame's game - throw it properly to the rim for the plumber to flush it.

[Wizard Mentor]

Plumlee = DeAndre Jordan minus the rebounding.

... and the contract!

I know you're joking, but why don't you check out the actual differences:
http://www.basketball-reference.com...lumlma01&y2=2015&p2=jordade01&p3=&p4=&p5=&p6=

Jordan has 12.4 rp36 compared to 9.8 for Plumlee.
Looking at the comparison they're actually similarish considering Plumlee played a lot less.

I don't know about that, but I do know that when he is on the last legs of his career I will call him Miles Prunelee.

 

[WillG]

. . .
over 82 games he took 17 TOTAL shots outside of the paint. That comes out to about 1 shot outside the paint for every 5 games played! Incredible.

I love it! The anti-Aldridge - it's exactly what we need.

The data comes from basketball-reference.com.

I'd say picking up Mason Plumlee for this year's #23 (plus gaining some cap space) was a darn good trade!

Okay, that's probably the kind of thing that persuaded the Blazers to do it.
It's also a reminder that they've been shitty drafters in the past, given how low CJ is, so perhaps that ALSO persuaded them to do it.

I typed this before posting, found the appropriate thread, that I've never opened before, and saw in the post right above that the info was found almost 4 days ago! Well, 42N8Bounce's post didn't have the link, so I'll post it anyway:


Looking at stats, I just noticed something. Plumlee has the 2nd-highest Win Share and WS/48 (Rudy Gobert is best) among 2013 draftees.

So, with Plumlee underachieving so far in preseason, and Project Pat somewhat living up to that nickname, is anybody wishing we could have a take-back on this deal?

Have you seen RHJ play this preseason? http://www.rotoworld.com/recent/nba/2474/rondae-hollis-jefferson

He is great on D but we won't regret that deal until at least 3 years from now overall (if even then). You could say it would be nice to have the youth but I think we have plenty of that already.

So maybe not as much of a slam dunk as it seemed but at worse a wash. Pat's boards alone from SG/SF position can come in handy.

 

[Draco]

Naa I still like the trade. Pat is a good 2nd round pick and the depth will be very helpful once we have some front court injuries.

 

[Natebishop3]

Aminu and Harkless seem to be just as capable as RHJ.

 

[riverman]

I think one preseason is too soon to gauge what these guys will become.. PC is a question mark but Plumlee is a rim protector and still overthinking the play sets from what I've seen..once it's second nature, guys will know where other guys like the ball..it's all good.

I'm just happy we didn't replace a hyphen with another hyphen.

Exactly. RHJ is literally the same player as those guys

I am generally in favor of busting hyphens.

Since we essentially replaced RHJ with Harkless, who I like better, no, the deal is still a good one.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

I think Plumlee is fine, I like him more than I liked RoLo.

 

[THE HCP]

I think Plumlee is fine, I like him more than I liked RoLo.

He couldn't be more different than RoLo if he tried. Big defensive presence screen setter...... Vs a faster athletic floor runner. Depends on what you think this teams needs. Rolo was a PERFECT fit for our team the last two seasons.

FTFY.

Rolo did nothing against Memphis when it counted in the playoffs...I beg to differ..he disappeared after the allstar break last season but didn't miss a comicon or chance to harass a mascot
