re: Zach Lowe: Pels one of the Winners of Free Agency/Offseason

The man wants a chance to play

No, he is all but demanding to play. Publicly chastising his team. That is a big difference in my mind.

He is acting rather entitled for a guy that is so flawed in so many areas. And handling his grievance in the worst possible way, by complaining to the media. He does one thing well and that is board. For instance the article mentions how he was the worst player on a bad nets team in Real Plus/Minus. Ranked near the bottom of all eligible PF's in the same stat. 87th in Defensive Real Plus/minus. He is a low percentage scorer for his position and FT shooter.

He has some pockets of potential like his defensive FG% within 6 feet of the basket, not great, but promising. But if it is coming with a guy that is going to possibly become a problem if the staff don't think he has earned 20+ minutes a game, well, he can go elsewhere in my mind. He's not worth the risk for what he has shown so far in his career.
