Just figured I would start a thread for discussion on MKG and his progress.

 

So far, in 5 games, MKG has shut down Rudy Gay and Carmelo Anthony. Both of these guys were terribly inefficient and got most of their points when Mike was on the bench.

 

Along with his defense, he has shown a lot on offense. Gilly is completely unstoppable on the fastbreak and he looks good in the post. I know it's a small sample size, but even his ugly mid-range shot has been going in.

 

MKG's per 36 stats (these are adjusted as if he was playing 36 minutes per game) so far:

 

14.3 points, 7.7 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 2.1 blocks, 1.0 steals.

 

That's a VERY impressive stat line. Especially when you consider that he is the 5th youngest player in the entire NBA.

 

If you take out his one outlier game (New Orleans), his per 36 numbers are:

 

16.9 points, 7.4 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 2.3 blocks, 1.14 steals.

 

Even more impressive on the scoring end. And it's even better when you add in his tremendous man-to-man defense. Again, it's an extremely small sample size, but it is definitely very promising.

Honestly those numbers are fine and acceptable, IMO.  If he scores 10-14 points and always grabs those rebounds, blocks, and plays that kind of defense, I'm cool with it.   

 

 

I agree.  He is young and I think he will only get better. 

 

He free throws motions though, wow.

      Chase Daniels breaks down Bryce vs DEN

      I appreciate your in depth look at it but I think there is a lot of stuff you bring up that he brings on himself.  He drops too deep to try to see over the line which creates a lot more pressure on the line.  He also has no feel for the pocket and pretty regularly bails on a clean pocket or shifts in a direction that puts more pressure on the line.  #1 though no matter how many excuses we want to make for him,  he has to stand on his tiptoes to see over nfl lines which makes his throws entirely have to come from his arm and when you factor that's the only place his throwing power can come from with that issue,  he's never going to have an arm that's nfl capable.  It's as simple as that.

      And if you want a good podcast to listen to how bad it was and still is in the NBA, listen to the "Whistleblower" podcast. Very eye opening

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      Shoot, I just thought of an even better comparison, especially considering I've always said my personal comp for T-Mac is AJ Green. In 2011 the Bengals took AJ Green Their QB at the time, NOBODY, as Palmer had already told them he was going to retire. The QB's they passed on, Jake Locker, Blaine Gabbert, and Christian Ponder.  None of those guys panned out, but they were all liked very much in the draft process (well at least the first 2, think Ponder might have been a head scratcher at the time if I remember correctly lol) They then took Dalton in the 2nd and had their QB/WR combo for the next decade.  Sure they never got over the hump, but they obviously don't regret doing it.
