looking at his stats there's players this season already playing better then that. he was great at making agile shots though sad to see him go like this. he's probably finished.

wasn't talking about his stats but moreso his playing style. he was extremely fun to watch

I know he has, but he's not going to do it again, dude is done with them and I wouldn't be shocked if we start hearing about him wanting a trade.

Obviously they're not going to trade him now, but you're right I can see him being traded within 2 years.

Love was in the 62nd percentile, that isn't pretty good, especially not for someone being called a low post scorer :yeshrug: He was decent at it at best, and you're talking about him in relation to Embiid, someone that is expected to be good to great at it.

MCW is not a high level player, you could have made this argument about Tyreke Evans when he was playing for the Kings. He is a high usage PG that has no jumpshot, I can say definitively that he will not work with a post player, show me a couple of examples of post players on contending teams with offensively challenged PGs. Also, Saric is expected to be a SF when he comes over, they didn't draft him under the idea he's going to be a PF that may happen but most scouting sites have him switching to SF in the NBA.
come on man, those Sac teams were nowhere near as bad as the Sixers. Reke didn't have to overexert himself to the extent that MCW did. Saric at SF is flat out not going to work, he's nowhere near fast enough and likes to score close to the basket. They drafted him as a potentially valuable asset, where he fits into the squad at this point is moot along with everybody not named Embiid.
There aren't enough good post players let alone post players on good teams for that to even register as a meaningful category and you're eliding my point anyway i.e. that it isn't outside the realm of possibility that he improves as a shooter or at least finds a spot he can work from. You can't definitively say that this will not occur.






The Hornets offense isn't the reason for their slippage this year, it's their defense, they were 24th offensively last year and 28th this year, defensively they went from 5th to 16th. The Hornets have a post player, an anemic PG on offense, spacing issues and their offense sucks as a result, and it sucked last year as well.
My point stands wrt offense. They are visibly worse and Al was struggling before he got hurt.
