MKG is not our defensive catalyst. That point is so overstated around here. We are definitely better with him on the floor, but he doesn't make such a difference that he can't be started over.

Without MKG on the floor, 103PPP near bottom in the NBA. With MKG on the floor that number went down to 98, which is a top 5 defense.

Before injury, his defense was even better, with him on the floor 93 PPP.

So yes, his defense was good enough he wouldn't be started over unless the other player was a high level defensive player as well. Because with out him, that was seriously one of the worst defensive teams in the NBA and with him it was a top line unit.

I think regardless of who we land in FA, MKG will start. Many people look at positions too much when trying to figure out lineups. MKG can guard 1-3's and he would start along side of Parsons, Hayward or Melo(pipe dream) and he would cover the other teams most talented SG or SF.

That point really is overrated. There are a lot more factors that go into why we gave up that many points in that stretch. MKG only averaged 24 minutes per game. If he really made our team as much better as some people think, he would've played Kemba/Al minutes.

 

(I know I need to put this aside because people will overreact to my statement. I really like MKG, I don't want to start another player over him because it would lower his confidence even more, and if he developed a decent 20 footer and drove more he would be a very good player.)

The only way he'd start alongside Parsons would be if Parsons was at the 4, which means no McRoberts or even less Zeller. No way MKG is being put at the 2.

Show the stats of the players he guarded per that 25 minutes. Also stopping other star scores for 25min of a game can win effect the whole game.

Eh if it came down to signing parsons for 12-15 million or Stephenson 8-12 million I'm taking Stephenson. Ive wanted him all along. Everybody I talk to dosent want him tho. Personal I don't think he's that crazy. Him and Kemba played together in NYC. And big al is a leader and very no nonsense kinda guy. I think he comes in and keeps his nose clean.

I think the problem in Indiana was he wanted to show off his talents and show he was a budding star, which I agree with. I think PG is a little overated and lance wanted to be noticed while not being the key guy.

In charlotte he has the chance to be the 2nd guy and maybe the number one option going forward. He's got the talent and the skills. Just needs a chance. If we don't sign him and he takes off like James harden did I will be very disappointed.

Personally Hayward is my first choice followed very closely by Stephenson. Either one massively upgrades our weakest position.

I tend to agree with this. But with Phoenix basically coming out and saying they will do anything they can to get Hayward I see getting him as a longshot. The suns are giving him the max.

I haven't seen that, but if that's the case best of luck to them. If that's true they have a log jam at the 3 though. PJ Tucker, Gerald Green, TJ Warren, and Gordon Hayward? No way they hang on to all of them, I think either Green or Tucker is out of there regardless.

      Bryce Young what a crazy statement

      By d-dave · Posted

      According to the talking heads of the sports world, this is a pretty meh QB class.  Sanders and Ward are the only two with first round buzz, but the rest are blah.  Take that for what you will. Let's see how Bryce does in year three.  That's just where we are.  Patience is the key here.  Players need time to develop.  They can't develop if they don't play.  Bryce has made some really good throws, but he doesn't look like CJ Stroud.  That's going to be his point of comparison the rest of their careers.  The ball doesn't explode off Bryce's hand, it's not a cannon ball shot out of a cannon.  He's not going to break a 70 yard run.   Bryce is going to have to continue to make good throws and make plays.  Part of that is going to depend on the play calls.  Part of it is based on the skill players.  A couple drops picked up yesterday and it's a win and Bryce throws 1-2 more TDs.  A completely different story. It's been a crazy year indeed.  I just want to see Bryce continue to develop.  To see XL become more consistent.  To see JT fully recover (not play this season if he's not healthy).  I want to see Coker continue to make plays.  I'd love to see Brooks get more touches and Chubba continue to hammer defenses. Then this approaching offseason, let's go back to the D and work on fixing it.

      Prime is already gone boss.  Nothing left for team Sanders in college football.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By KatsAzz · Posted

      Justin Fields’ fifth-year option was declined by the Steelers in April. Without a new contract, he will be a free agent in March. I am pulling for Bryce Young to look good the rest of the season, but if he doesn't, how many of you would be on board for the Panthers to try signing Justin Fields?
