Point em' out #2: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist

[MichaelNewtonII]

Many people on the forum giving me heat for calling out Kemba Walker on his regression. Now its time to put Michael Kidd-Gilchrist on the hot seat in my new series I will be titling Point em' out. In this series I will be, in lil waynes words, "callin n*****s out, like the umpire"
Lets go with Michael Kidd-Gilchrist

Just like Kemba he is having a regression in some stats this year
Rebounds (5.8 to 5.3) Assist (1.5 to 0.7) Steal ( .7 to .6) Block (.9 to .6) 3ptFG% ( 22% to 0%) TO (1.3 to .7)

Some Metric Stats as well:
Player Efficiency Rating (League average is 15.0) : his PER is down from 14 last yr to 11.7 this yr.
Turnover percentage (11.7 to 17.2)


It goes on and on but I am doing this post from phone and has already taken 45 minutes to gather stats but the fact of the matter is, MKG isn't cutting it and has not proven to be worthy of his #2 pick. His numbers do not match up to the average starting SF in the league and although this Charlotte team has a decent record this year, they are only winning due to the fact that other teams are tanking so they are getting wins they normally shouldnt. Dont get yourselves this team is a good team because it is far from that right now. We need 1-2 more drafts before we DESERVE a 5-6th seed in the east

Pretty much all of our players are terrible, we know this.

MKG was a no2 pick, not no4. That makes it worse.

I hope he'll turn it around. Had a couple good games this season, but looked better last season. We could use an upgrade everywhere.

Everyone knew he was going to be a multi-year offensive project. Meanwhile, he is playing as good of defense as anyone in the league on the top SF's- Lebron, Paul George, Carmelo, and Rudy Gay.

 

Again, I think you're calling out the wrong guys. Who's next...Zeller?

MKG is fine, so is biz. They were multi year projects when they were drafted. The problem has been building around them by makin good draft selections.

His defense is better than last year and he also has probably made double the amount of jumpshots this year then he did all of last season. I'd say for a multi year project that's pretty good. He's freaking 20 years old.

Also every players stats will go down with a player like Big Al. The team as a whole though should be better and as the record shows right now we are.

we are winning in a league which is purposely losing. Dont let that record fool you.

MKG: Not the prize we needed after a 7-59 season.

[CarolinaNCSU]

MKG is and will be a good player in the league. 

 

But dammit why couldn't we have gotten the Unibrow

Sigh. Please give up this narrative. Barnes is not a better player than MKG. MKG outplayed Barnes both times they played last year. Barnes is a role player who was put in the perfect position for him. MKG...not so much.

[CarolinaNCSU]

Just to get in on the Barnes/MKG thing...for me, Barnes has a higher ceiling (due to his advanced offensive game compared to MKG). Right now, both are near the same level IMO. Happy with either on my team any day of the week
