    Or it tells you exactly what you see which is a player who isn’t ready to play. Advanced stats are there to back up the eye test with numbers not the other way around. 

    Totally agree, I see these stats on Bamba, but when I watch him I see a guy who can get hot at the 3 pt but is very inconsistent and I see him slow to react to coverages and frankly weak on the block due to high center of gravity and of course his lack of strength. His stats appear to be better then his eye test for sure.

    Why can’t he develop a little go to move when he gets the ball down there though? These guys are in the NBA the highest level of play arguably in the world. Now why can’t a guy put some work in and do that? It’s useless when he gets an offensive rebound on most possessions because he usually fumbles it out of bounds or gets it stolen. Gobert can’t shoot 3’s so I wouldn’t compare the 2 especially since he was already an elite defensive talent as a rookie and Bamba is nowhere near that. It’s predictable when all you do is fade to the 3 and shoot the ball. Put some weight on and get a go to move down low and you’ll see how his game opens up. 

    Agreed, with his length he could have an unstoppable sky hook like Kareem, but he appears to be more of a perimeter guy as it’s too hard to bang with the brutes. Granted the game has changed but you should always exploit mismatch’s when you can.

  3. I’m a prime venter as I truly love our team, but man it’s extremely frustrating!!!!
    It feels like we’ll never get out of this mediocracy. I see other teams that pick up players after our draft choices that make impacts and it drives me crazy. I thought these guys had all this experience and Cliff was suppose to get the best out of everyone as he did last year toward the end, but I guess now that these guys have their contracts it’s a different story. I’m hoping for change this summer as I think we’ve been patient enough and mediocracy is not going cut.


  4. You would like to think Bamba would be a unicorn like Porzingus but he doesn’t seem to quite have it and where you thought he would excel defensively, he really doesn’t. He’s got role player written all over him and frankly I’m not sure he would ever be a starter on a good team. We’ll see how he fares after a few summers in the gym and building his body, but he’s far from a sure thing.
