Re: Game Day: Suns (29-25) @ Twolves (11-42), Fri 2/20/15

DRPM is supposed to account for that. It's essentially saying GS defense improves by roughly 5 pts/100 possessions with Green on the court. If anything, the fact that David Lee usually replaces him is probably the biggest factor if his numbers are inflated. I haven't seen enough games to say how goo...

Butler is plenty big enough to play the 3.

Re: Suns 2015 Trade Deadline Aftermath

Fail. Agreed. At the very least they still had until early summer to cash in the pick for a better return. But if MCD was really thinking like this, why not atach it to Bledsoe to get Love, or with Tucker/Thomas to get Greg Monroe, or some like this. I mean, if you think your premier asset is close...

Re: Around the League: Week 17 2/16-2/22

I get so tired of labels sometimes - there are a lot of instances of players who play positions that doesn't fit the stereotypical mold and do it quite well. No, Russell Westbrook doesn't remind anyone of John Stockton, but he's a great basketball player. One of the 10 best players in the league. T...

Re: 2015 NBA Draft

I think this draft looks like a fairly typical draft. Not too strong, not weak either. I'm not an expert though. Okafor is going to be good, I think he's at least Al Jefferson, probably better. I really like D'Angelo Russell and Kristaps Porzingis. They'd be in my top 3 if I was picking up there. I ...

Re: 2015 Trade Deadline

Why didn't utah just take Reggie Jackson? I guess he probably gets in the way of exum' development. He's better than a late first though.

Re: Suns 2015 Trade Deadline Aftermath

My thoughts on everything that happened. I'm intrigued and in wait and see mode. I like knight and he's a better fit as a sg than dragic. Dragic is a better pg but with bled on the team he just wasn't ever gonna play pg full time here. I'm not too concerned about losing plumlee or Ennis. Ennis migh...

Re: Favorite Current Sun

I don't think he necessarily has a low IQ, it's not great by any means, but it appears low because of his slightly irrational confidence in himself. Which I'm ok with when it means he takes a few bad shots because his confidence is very valuable to his game. It's a little frustrating when he thinks ...

Re: College Basketball: 2014-15

He's got decent size, he's short but has really long arms. He's got more skill than Faried, I'm interested to see how he does in the NBA. I like him, not sure I'd draft him with markieff on the team. I think there would be similarly rated players that would offer us a better fit. If kieff weren't he...

Teague benefits from how good Atlanta has been. Switch Teague with Lawson and Atlanta is just as good, if not better.

Re: Suns News: Week 13 1/19-1/25

I know this doesn't necessarily jive with what we've seen, but Kief is actually 19th in the league in Defensive Real Plus Minus. It's hard to trust complex stats without knowing how the formulas are derived, but that leader board looks to be a pretty accurate representation of the top defenders in ...
