    I think he's more focused on distributing to our other guys than scoring right now. 

    He's shooting 51% on twos and 41% from the mid range. 

    Three point shooting isn't a deciding reason why a guy is or is not considered an offensive player. Jimmy Butler isn't not an offensive player because he's shooting the same percentage from three as fultz. Ben Simmons isn't not an offensive player because guys leave him open on the three point line. Derrick white isn't a limited offensive player because he's stuck in a role where he doesn't get field goal attempts

     

    Sure. Guys like Monta And Wade created offense. I just think at some point we need to actually see him do it consistently to label him that. I also think in today’s NBA attempting and making 3’s is of a bigger importance with that label.

    Fultz can create his own offense. A team has to pay attention to him on offense. He can do multiple things to impact offense positively. 

    It's not about a ppg thing. 

    Danny green is a two way player even though he's never averaged more than 11.7ppg in his career. He executes his role on offense well. 

    Iwundu doesn't execute in his offensive role often enough. Some games he looks good. Many games he doesn't provide anything on that end. And it's random. 

    He’s limited for whatever reason. Until that outside game comes along consistently, I don’t view him as a true 2 way or a self creator of offense.

    I think we're probably more interested in two way players. Beasley can shoot but we've seen with fournier what shooting without acceptable defense can do.

    People love Russell and people love Beasley but there's a reason Minnesota is 2-8 since the trades and giving up 127 ppg in that timeframe. 

    Yeah but someone should tell them you don’t need them at every position

    But it’s no competition, it’s entertainment and Wade is just happy it delivered on that front. *rolls eyes* 

    Right. Wasn’t like AG didn’t practice most of his dunks beforehand like it was a genuine competition.

    He literally destroyed the legitimacy of what needed to be fixed years ago. No one was taking the ASG game seriously especially the dunk contest for years.

    Them agreeing on what scores to give bothers me more than just giving bad scores.  They admitted to cooking the books, to conspiring on the outcome.  NBA has to figure something out here, this can't be repeated.  That means the outcome was orchestrated, but the question is were they conspiring on all rounds or just on the final round? It definitely feels as if wade talked them into it knowing he was going to be the deciding vote.

    But this is the modern day NBA where guys talk about the outcome, talk about joining super teams, etc.

    A ****show.

    I'm not mad as it was expected.  Especially after Aaron Gordon took his shoes off because he knew he'd be screwed if the contest continued.  He had 6 perfect scores in a row?  Right?  He should have won just off that.  Yet, it continued.  The gateway for him to get screwed opened.  

    Now..the predictable aftermath is of course is the booming ad revenue you can make off outrage which is what our country does everyday.  Of course, South Park made an episode of it.  What do you expect?  Cycled human emotions.  

    NBA won’t get a dime from me. I’d buy that shirt just because I hate **** like this but that’s all. I don’t buy **** from NBA anymore.

    The outrage of aaron Gordon being screwed over outweighs him actually winning as it'll boil over to the millions of avenues on the internet.  

     Definitely gives a burst of internet traffic.  

    Yeah but it’ll get swept over like everything else in this WWE sport. The NBA is ****.  DJJ should’ve given the trophy to AG but he took it of course.

    Julius Randle has gotten more shots per game each year he has been in the league.  He is up to 16 a game this year.  TJ Warren is getting 14 shots a game and has averaged in excess of 12 since his 3rd year in the league.  At 22 Gordon got 15 shots a game and averaged 17.6 PPG.  The bet thereafter was that he would improve his efficiency.  He did exactly that as a 23 year old reducing his SPG from 3 by 1.5 the next season.  Not coincidentally, his PPG went down, but his APG went up by 1.4.  This year he is getting even fewer shots. 

    It is a recipe for an argument of he can't earn his shots vs. his shots are being stolen.  Vuc has gotten 16+shots a game in 4 of the last 6 seasons and hasn't been less than 13.7 in any of them.  In seasons where he has gotten more than 16 shots a game he is averaging 19 PPG.  Gordon's gotten about 13.5 shots a game on average the last 3 seasons and averaged 16 points... playing in an offense suited to Vuc.  Vuc is 5 years older and way less suited to a future with an offense built around Fultz, Isaac, Okeke and Bamba.  Thus, I'm going with stolen.  I d do not want to see Gordon traded for his 25 year old season, watch him get the most SPG he has gotten in his career (like Oladipo did in Indiana when he turned 25) and wonder why he never got that opportunity here (like I do about Oladipo).  

     

    Dipo you can give him the ball and let him create. That’s not AG’s strengths. Don’t know what the advance stats say but idk if more shots for him means more wins for us.

    They key for Ag isn’t just more shots. It’s the type of shots.

    I dunno they don't have a good center.. Evan is quite good. Plus our pick. That's a strong package but I hear you. Maybe they wait till Wall is back. What we need more than most is 1 of our guys to become a superstar. I think we have 1 in Fultz and maybe 2 more in Issac and Gordon. Things just take time. We have messed AG about so much. Now he's at his natural position and healthy I think we will see him blow

    If I’m Washington, there’s no way in hell I’d trade Beal to a team in the same division for Vooch and Fournier. AG would have to be included.
