Reporter: "Thoughts on Mirotic".

Is the player supposed to say: "Oh man, he has had his flashes, but sometimes his shot selection kills us. Oh, and i wish he'd stop shooting 3's because he hasnt made one since the ACB League."



opposing coaches speak highly of him, as noted.

on a list with Corey Brewer and Lou Williams

and LeBron James and Russ Westbrook...but talking shite about Lou Williams shows (once again) how little you know about basketball.

I love how we have all these stats at our disposal, but people still only look at PPG or watch Sportscenter.

Sure, cherrypicking stats is the name of the game these days, but I watch actual basketball and can identify good players on the court. Data has it's place, just like anything else in the overall bigger picture.

Wiggins is putting up empty stats on a losing team. He has potential, but he needs outside motivation to succeed. Probably a big reason KG is back in tow.

again, what would you expect a coach to say about him when asked?

Lou Williams shoots 37% in the 4th Quarter of games this year, and 29% from 3pt in 4th Quarters.

What stats am i cherry picking?

I watch basketball too. Ive said at least twice in this thread that Mirotic is fun to watch. But at the root of it, the stats don't lie.

Seriously, if you could label one stat i said in this thread as bullshite, pick one. I'd love to know what Im cherry picking.

He's shot so bad overall that I don't have to cherry pick anything.
