Gordon Hayward to visit Hornets next week.

See.. you're confusing yourself again.  (I'm beginning to think you're not extremely bright... but your grammar speaks for itself.)

 

The only STATISTIC you've mentioned in your quest to prove that PJ is better than Henderson is PPG.  You follow that up by saying you're a great evaluator of players.  See the disconnect between what you've claimed to be and the evidence you've shown?  Only once I call you out on it do you throw the "Try skills, physical gifts (isn't that redundant?), production, etc, etc." in... OK, well where is that on a stat sheet?  Gerald has proven in the NBA that he can score, rebound, defend, etc ... and the best part is, it all shows up on stat sheets as tangible evidence!

 

PJ, on the other hand... hasn't played a single game in the NBA.  So, you are claiming that it is a "fact" that PJ will start over Gerald because he's a better player.  If it's a fact, it requires evidence to be proven as a fact.  See my point?  This is why I think you're struggling with the literal definition of the word "fact."  Also, how can it be a fact when it's actually a prediction?  It very well might come true, but until it does, it's not a "fact." 

 

Hope that helped.

 

You are the one that is confused. You assume because I only mention one thing I am incapable of mentioning other things. Which as you pointed out, I already mentioned the reasons why PJ is better (basketball skills, physical tools, production) Now I could break those down further, but you are merely retarded or have an unwavering bias here.

 

Let me clarify, it is not a fact PJ will start over Hendo as plenty of coaches do not start the better player for what ever reason. I deal with this regularly as a UNC fan.  The only fact is PJ is a better basketball player than Hendo and should be starting by midseason assuming he is getting adequate minutes. Skills, athleticism, IQ, physical tools, production are all easily visible to the trained eye. As such we do not have to wonder who is the better player in regard to PJ and Hendo. 

 

Hope that helped.

Lol

Y'all funny

Unless PJ proves he can defend, he isn't going to start over Hendo and he isn't going to get the minutes he wants.

Same as when he was at UNC. He didn't play because he wasn't good on defense and didn't give consistent effort

He didnt play because Roy favors upperclassmen. 

 

When has big Al ever defended btw?

Al Jefferson was not a bad post defender last year.

Al was a good defender last year.

[MedellinHeel]

So Al was a poor defender his entire career and suddenly comes to Charlotte a changed man? 

 

Man the bias and blinders are strong here lol.

Seriously, go back and rewatch some games. The only weakness he had last year was on the high pick and roll. Which a slow big man will never be able to improve upon.

 

And you also shouldn't speak about bias and blinders considering you said PJ is already better than Hendo.

Al has been a solid post defender through out most of his career.  His problems were mostly with foot quickness defending the screen game.  Clifford does a few different things on screen defense that have helped Big Al.  I'd agree that he was for the most part solid on defense this past season.

http://espn.go.com/nba/team/_/name/cha/charlotte-hornets - 4th in fewest points allowed per game. Jefferson was a big part of that.

Steve Clifford changed his defensive abilities and made him an actual good defender.

"But coach, Big Al doesnt play defense!"

...Traded to the Knicks.

Whatever you guys say.  :thumbsu:

It was because he couldn't defend. When we played Miami before they switched PJ to the 4, no matter who he was defending they ran pick and roll with that player. I think PJ played less than 20 minutes that game because it was so bad.

A lot of it was lack of focus and a lot of it was lousy effort.

That is why he didn't play more.
