I feel like we're not even watching the same game if you think Tyreke Evans isn't our best, or at least second best offensive player


He can be pur second best offensive player, then convince himself he's Jordan and instantly become the worst offensive player on the floor. He is still that frustrating, low basketball IQ player he was in Sactown. I really wish Vorped had their data updated so you can see how poorly he is finishing.

Going 0-6 in two separate games definitely affects offensive production.


There is no disputing that. I think that will naturally work itself out. With Tyreke's ball-hogging, we need a leopard to change its spots

He's averaging the same amount of assists per game as our starting PG

And I mean read the thread title

I think blame can be distributed for poor movement of the ball. I don't know why you decided to focus on Reek for this.

Easy. He hates Tyreke, and he loves Gordon. No offense big J.

I don't love Gordon at all. He is an average player. The stat used for this thread was silly, though. It got around to Tyreke because his ball-domination will make players want to shoot it any time he gives it up.

Because he dominates the ball once it crosses half court, causing the offense to revert to pickup ball chucking. I may start using Reek when he starts his Zero Balling.

Jrue doesn't seem to have that same issue.

I know you don't, but when you dig in, you really dig in. See Greivis and Aminu.

Love this stat. Surprised Kobe isn't #1 though.


He is in passes per touch. The first stat is misleading, if you're on the floor the whole game and don't even touch the ball, you won't be attempting a pass and you're passes per minute will be 0.

And I was right about both.

Jrue's TOP is higher because of bringing the balk up the court. His usg is still pretty low.

This is the fear most pundits had when they made the Evans acquisition: there's not enough of the ball to go around for 3 guards all accustomed to controlling the ball in the half court. It's why having Evans or Gordon come off the bench (or staggering back court minutes more) makes some sense.

One of our guards have to be on the bench. Be it Jrue or EG, someone has to come off the bench and I think its EG that should.

He's a high usage black hole, let him be one coming off the bench when him being a black hole is actually better than our bench's production.

I am cool with that but who will start? Rivers?
