Honest question.

Who we got right now?

James Harden
Jimmy Butler
Klay Thompson
D-Wade
C.J.

Who else?

http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view3/3440489/sit-your-dumb-ass-down-o.gif

Klay is a below average playmaker & average at creating his own shots off the dribble.

*defenestrates self from post*

One of the few times we have agreed on a UK player in the T/J thread. Love to see a rookie who picks up at the season goes along. Didn't see the game but I saw he had a big one the other night. I think next year he'll be firmly in the top 10 SGs, shit he might now since there isn't too too much depth at the position.

1. Harden
2. Butler
3. Klay
4. DeRozan
5. Wade
6. CJ
7. Middleton?

Although, it should be a nice agenda war between LaVine, Hood, and Booker in the future. (I hope Minny keeps LaVine at the 2 and Wiggins at the 3.)

Lavine and Hood are aight, but he's probably already better than Lavine. And Hood isn't that far ahead if at all.

Has dude already hit his ceiling? Not really doing much for me these days.

And he has a "minutes restriction". Until he gets his health together, dunno how good Beal is.

I always hoped at some point Shady would realize hes better than either of the twins and give him the keys

twins down and play Ulis and Booker.

for Mizzou back in 94.. even went undefeated in a tough conference that yr, and was POY

I only remeber cus that was of themost stellar single seasons I ever saw from one player that dint make the leap.


EDIT: I'm also reminded how much of a college ball fanboy I was back in the day. I could run down the stats of some random player in some obscure ass conference lol . Now I dont even tune in til March Madness.. wish I could somehow get that passion back :(

You're not missing much, a lot of these teams and games are borderline unwatchable.

see guys come in as freshmen and stay 3 or 4 years and develop. That made the overall quality of play a lot better.

(C)Keith Murray, "

Young brother (Blacktino) that can coach that I've seen develop his whole career from college that people actual like and is not Dirty Macking.

Harden, Butler, Klay, and Derozan

Not in that order but yeah

I got Demar, Jimmy, Klay, (Harden ain't a sg anymore right?), C.J. is nice too...

http://www.hoopsstats.com/basketball/fantasy/nba/playerstats/17/3/eff

due to age, he's obviously got a higher ceiling and brighter future than some of those other guys. but right today? yeah.

he's a shooter who's shooting 42% overall and 35% from deep. and kind of below average for his position at everything else.

love his future tho.

*takes keyboard back from mistermaxxx*

zach better, too

he shoot better than him and dunkaroo way better than him.

and you mad about it.

argue *your* case.

you say jimmy, klay, demar and CJ are the only 2's who are better right now.

explain to us how exactly he's been better this season than bradley and beal and lavine. or even eric gordon and lou willz.

Simple as that.

If I'm picking shooting guards, I want Devin Booker over Bradley, Lavine, and Eric Gordon.

If you want to use PER then in this post...

You should be talking about John Wall being the 4th best point guard in the league.

http://www.hoopsstats.com/basketball/fantasy/nba/playerstats/17/2/eff/1-1

But you didn't.

So just be consistent.

you typed that shit with your lips poked out like arnold jackson.

https://cdn.meme.am/cache/instances/folder399/400x400/74702399.jpg

he's been stagnant at best in terms of growth this year.

And people need to stop sleeping on my man Avery Bradley!

>And people need to stop sleeping on my man Avery Bradley!

best rebounding 2 in the league by far, maybe the best defending 2, and he's shooting the ball better than klay thompson and brad beal.

dude is balling.

He's the type of cat I would throw some good $ at due to his combination of age, skill, and arguably most importantly around a young team, work ethic and accountability. He's such a good fit pretty much anywhere but he'd slot in perfectly at the 2.

Booker can shoot as well off the dribble & let's not even talk about getting to the rim/playmaking.

"I'm looking at you skeptically" (c) Mos Def.

James Harden
Klay Thompson
Devin Booker
Brad Beal
Jimmy Butler (for now)

Don’t even see how that’s debatable.

He gets buckets with ease. I can see him get another 70+ game before his career is finished.

year 3, same tensity ya'll

Bootleg Monta

because at least their competitive since they got rid of Earl.

He's a good young player that's improving. I'm not crazy. He ain't Harden, he ain't Klay. But after that an argument could be made. Like I'm ready to drop Jimmy for Derozan.

It's fun watching you and Basa go at each other, and then disregarding your own arguments when it applies to your guy.

Year 3, same tensity ya'll.

Nice comeback win vs the Hawks.

Gotta cut down those turnovers though.

"This is D-E-L..... not your Phoney Franchise. Winning by a landslide and you know you can't hide"

Were you spinning that song/album recently? Pretty sad how far that dude, fell off, but I suppose that is for another post, much less message board altogether.

I don’t think he’s fallen off. He’s just a free spirit that’s gonna do exactly what he wants bts

The majority of his self-released material he's done in recent years sounds like stuff he's recorded while he's doing random chores around the house; produce a beat while he's chopping carrots and later on record his verses while he's folding his laundry. I miss the energetic Del that would have flows all over the place. Dude sounds so grounded and pedestrian, at least on the stuff I've heard.

plus, I listen to BSOB like once a week.

Opposing team without their best player

Using a 7 man lineup

On your home floor

Run you out of the gym

Until they're competitive, he's just padding.

I guess I missed how good an all around skillset he has.

Sheesh.

He's definitely going to be top 5 at his position
sooner rather than later.

"I ORBITs the solar system, listenin..."

(C)Keith Murray, "

this the narrative y'all helped build. i see his team. they sorry. do i care? nah. as bad as they are, they not luke harangody or manny harris.

enjoy the padding and hope kevin johnson makes a comeback.

And you fishing for props with a 20 yr old scoring 24 pts every other week while averaging 16ppg. Soooooo there’s that.

The Suns aren’t good.

Not sure what you don’t understand.

Please point to me at 5 other shooting guards that don’t lose games to better teams.

I’ll wait.

and got blown out

You're reply is my point

Let's not pretend this doesn't happen more often than not

27th in scoring margin

Which is actually worse than last year

I'm watching a supposed top 5 shooting guard put up shots that wasn't competitive since the 1st quarter

Shit's embarrassing honestly

The idea that they're not beating better teams, when they are perennially one of the worst teams in the league is the whole point

You would think a top 5 sg would translate to improvements in Ws

I don't see it

Why I'm holding out, when the team is competitive, will he still get his, or start to disappear as teams focus on shutting him down

Teams don't have to do that yet

Who you think they gameplanning for Greg Monroe?

The team is actually playing .500 ball in their last 10.

They got blown out yesterday because Houston is better.

If you can’t name 5 that don’t get blown out from time to time than I don’t know what to tell you.

If they’re competitive in most games it’s because of him.

But I'll let you tell it since I didn't actually watch the game

30-16 at the end of the 1st qtr = game over

...and homie continues to get numbers for 3 more non-competitive arts...

It's not the Ls to better teams

It's the not being competitive in year 3

Game's aren't even close

Do you see it?

And point to 5 more consistent shooting guards.

he does subpar for 3 quarters then turns it on when the game is out of reach to pad them stats. Obviously he's got those great games/moments too, but he's not seeing the top 5 for me right today.

Harden, Thompson, DeRozan, and Jimmy Butler are in a clearly defined tier above Booker because they do a lot other things (combo of passing, rebounding, defense, etc.) better than Booker.

Then I would certainly put MCollum and Beal above him.

So that's #7 at best for now. Not too shabby.

harden
butler
derozan
beal
oladipo
thompson
brown
mccollum
harris
gordon
mitchell

winning has to matter.

I only recognize 25% of that list as being in the conversation.

you talked some sense into me.

see, this what i be talmbout. you can't keep cysing this shit. all you say is 21, 21, 21...like that makes him a savage. *james evans smile*

but when kyrie was a two-time all-star and all-star mvp at 21, you and most of these niggas on this board poo-poo'd that shit and called him a loser.

nobody give a fuck about these scoring outbursts no more, dogg. he don't win. he can't lead a team to the playoffs.

these are the fucking rules you helped make. you gotta deal.

The nerve... you mad at my one post when you were averaging 3 new Kyrie posts a day for a 20 win team.

Smh

not in year 7 with a ring and having proved people wrong about leading a winning team

i don't need to say anything else. just a matter of getting in position to win more rings.

Lol..I fucks with dude.

On paper it seems like they got players, but the pieces are either too young or don't fit.

Right now, if they had a power forward who can rebound and rim protect I think they'd be a lot better. Just stop with the 6'7 wings.

Seriously, kid's gonna be one of the best players nobody sees play

He's entering those prime years

Don't waste them in PHX.

both Ayton & Book just look disinterested and hate being in Phx. sucks.

How conflicted to you feel about the Suns' success having some part because of Chris Paul's performance along side Devin Booker?

If memory serves me correct, you've clowned on Chris Paul in the past.

I simply want my guy to get the respect and shine he deserves.
