[ghoti]

Through 18 games played, he has more turnovers than assists, steals and blocks combined. (55-47)</p>

Way to go, Zach!</p>

His youthiernes is amazing.</p>

 

[cpawfan]

If only Thorn would have traded RJ, the amazing Zach could have been a Net</p>

 

[Kid Chocolate]

He's a lefty! You think he's going to shoot with his right hand, but then he shoots with his left!</p>

 

[#1_War_Poet_ForLife]

And then he dumps it off to Eddy. You think he's going to shoot with his right hand, and then he turns it over!</p>

 

[pegs]

classic.</p>

 

[ghoti]

He can't keep it up, right?

Through 24 games at 33:00 a clip.

Turnovers - 75

Blocks, Steals and Assists - 71


Go Zach!!

 

[Real]

He's also the only player in the league to have more automatic weapons than assists-steals-blocks combined. That's even more impressive.

 

[ghoti]

Quite a line tonight.

2-5 shooting
1-2 from the line
5 points
4 turnovers
4 fouls
3 rebounds
0 offensive rebounds
1 assist
0 steals
0 blocks

Knicks lose to the Kings at home with no Bibby, Artest, Martin.

I wonder if he even feels the slightest bit guilty when he cashes his paycheck.

Probably not.

Through 30 games at 32:30 MPG --


Turnovers - 94

Blocks, Steals, Assists - 80


The gap is widening.

Nice work!

You realise that this is known as the "Eddy Curry line," right? This makes it even more ridiculous.
Here are the single-season "leaders" since the 1999-2000 season:

[maybe someone can format this for me]

[POS represents assists plus steals plus blocks; ratio is TOs/POS]

[ghoti]

And a brief check reveals...

Curry is even worse!


Blocks, Steals, Assists - 50

Turnovers - 74


That's a great list, Dumpy. Other than Nocioni, who has intangibles I think offset his weaknesses, every player on that list is a gigantic loser.

 

[Dumpy]

There's another list of the players that have the greatest POSITIVE disparity between assists/steals/blocks and TOs. Ben Wallace is usually up there year after year. I believe that Antoine Wright may be in the top-ten this season.
