Arron Afflalo would literally be the best shooting guard in Jazz history
Jeff Hornacek was more consistent, and Adrian Dantley played SG quite a bit when he wasn't playing SF.
But yes, he'd be near the top.

Until he embraces 'G-TYME' he won't be seen as much more than a wet willie victim to the rest of the NBA.
But Chars said
When it's G-TYME, he's transcendent. It's like an anime when a guy decides to yell for a while and get super overpowered.
In the right position, there aren't many players better than gasol.
We aren't even past a quarter of the season yet. A lot of guys that drafted look bad. Beal has looked like trash too and he was the 3rd pick with some people even saying he would go second.

IWMTB check Kemba's PnR numbers. Tell me if my eyes deceive me.
Beal doesn't look bad - he just hasn't filled up a stat sheet and anyone that knows the game knows that he's getting fucked by sharing a ball with Jordan Crawford.
Austin Rivers has shitty numbers and looks like ass whenever he doesn't play basketball in the dark.

I'd give up Bargnani for a bag of potato chips. At this point we really need to just move on from that era.
I think he'll be surprisingly serviceable with the Lakers, tbh. He should get a lot of open looks and he'll do his job and stretch the floor. His percentages won't look that bad as they are now because he'll be the 4th option on offense. Rebounding and defence will be shit but overall they would be in a better position.
And Calderon is one of the better backup point guards who can give Nash breaks. They'll be able to afford siting Nash out out some games and letting Calderon start...right now the pg situation is atrocious in LA... a coach like D'antoni NEEDS point guards.
But it is pointless talking about it because BC won't let go of Bargnani.

A couple years ago for sure.
With his knees acting up he could be done. I really hope rest does him well, I'd be fine with him being out til nash comes back if need be.

Beal has at least had a couple games where he's looked like an NBA player

He's ranked 38th overall (of all players) in the league in scoring efficiency off the pick-and-roll.
Bobcats have an extremely low rate of hitting the pick-and-roll roll man which isn't good, but that may be brought down by the lack of ability by their big men to do anything productive on offense
Yes, yes.
If Crawford is making shots, Wittman will leave him in, and let Beal rot on the bench.

All aboard! The Love train!
It's almost like he doesn't know what he's doing.

No idea. It's his back, so they aren't rushing his return.

Lets be honest...even if he isn't making shots, Wittman will keep him in.
Dude has no clue what he's doing and the fact that yall kept him is kinda sad.

jr swish!
Just imagine if the Raptors didn't have Lowry. 10 wins would be a miracle.
Bargnani is terrible and probably untradable now for anything other than another terrible overpaid player. Shooting under 40%, can't grab 5 rebounds per game, doesn't do anything on defense, not a great passer anymore.
Hilariously though the Raptors are probably the team that wouldn't want to make a trade happen.
lol ben gordon
Yeah...it is sad. Pretty pathetic that we wouldn't look for a long term coach.

I just don't want Ernie fucking picking another draft selection. Fuck Ted in his Mario ass for not listening to the fans or virtually anyone who knows basketball. In 11 we all fucking begged Ted to fire Ernie before the draft and now we have Vesely and Tomas Satoransky to show for it.

How many points you guys think Kobe will end with?

I think Kobe will eclipse Kareem.
He will hopefully pass Jordan

He would have to play 4 more seasons averaging 25 PPG so probably not, but then again I could see Kobe not giving a fuck and being a 41% shooting chucker @ 38 years old on a trash Laker team just to get the record
Well it only took him 200 more games than Jordan to get past 30,000, so you never know!
Congrats, Kobe Bryant. You are among the greatest of all time to have played this game.

Haters showing their age in this tread. Jordan averaged more minutes and FGA per game than Kobe. 2 more shots a game and 2 more minutes per game. Jordan damn near played whole games with his 38 MPG.
Not only that but people act like Kobe is just chucking...lmao he's a career 45 percent FG shooter right now and is averaging 49% on the year. Lebron actually averages more shots per game than Kobe despite not being on his level as a scorer (at least for the vast majority of his career, 2012 and on Bron is pretty boss).

Pretty Interesting Article
Apparently Kobe is and has been for several years, far and away the leader in getting his misses lead to offensive rebounds and then other points.
He said something once about when he sees Pau or Bynum with great offensive rebounding position and can't get them the ball he shoots it up because if he misses he knows they'll just tip it in...I guess he knew what he was talking about.
This article coins the term "Kobe-Assist" as a Kobe miss that leads to an offensive rebound and immediate putback.
And for those who think this is just because of the Lakers having a dominant rebounder. Not so much.

I've been looking at some footage of Andrew Wiggins aka "Ender" today and I am stoked at the thought of what he'll do in the league. He has it all - attitude, IQ, athleticism, size, and skill. Player comparisons are almost always a useless measure of evaluation but Wiggins really does remind me of a young Kobe.
Raptors NEED to draft him. I want to see the most blatant no fucks tank job in the history of the nba.
