re: If you need any more proof we need a PG

Doesn't matter the age. A 1st year player is a 1st year player regardless of age. It's not like Lillard was playing in the NBA the past 2 seasons. So Paul's 3rd year in the league he averaged those #s? Lets wait and see what Lillard averages in his 3rd year.


I'm not banking on him to get a whole lot better because he doesn't need to get a whole lot better. Turn 1 or 2 of his misses into makes and he will be around 46% shooter. Make 1 more assist a game and he will be averaging right about 8 a game.

PER is one of the most flawed player evaluator they have. If I play in 5 minutes a night and in those 5 minutes I score 5 points on 3 shots, with 2 assists and 2 Rebs, my PER would be as good as LBJ. PER doesn't take into account what a player actually does. It estimates. It doesn't take into account stamina or anything like that either. Usually when you play more minutes you get winded and tired. And that makes you miss shots, make stupid plays, turn it over, etc.

because you follow PER like its your religion and think the PER #s are actually legit. When in fact they are unrealistic numbers and there is no way of predicting what a player would do with X amount of minutes
