Why do people talk about Brandon Bass as if he's a good player?

He's a shyt pf who can't rebound. The worst player in the Celtics main rotation. Him being there rather than a better player is a signifcant detriment. He can D a lil and make some gay shots but the guy is filler.

Uncertain grounds
Lemme break it down:

1. Hustle and tenacity - dude has effort for days
2. Mid range j - basically automatic especially from the elbows
3. Athleticism - a bit undersized but the game is evolving to make him suitable. He is often quicker and more explosive than his counterparts. Finishes strong.
4. He's not Glen Davis -
5. Reliability - you know what youre gonna get, with less variance than others. Even in clutch or semi clutch situations.
6. Value - Pretty good contract.

1. Needs to rebound a bit better.
2. Passing and vision is generally poor.
3. Could block a few more shots.
4. Needs some post moves, maybe an up and under or baby hook.
5. Not very good in the pick and roll outside of his mid range jumper. Getting to the hoop without a jumpstop or prior position is unlikely.

He plays with KG, and KG covers up his defensive inefficiency. :ld: But, his mid-range J is automatic and wet as fukk though. :yeshrug: And who hypes up Bass anyways?

brandon bass is a good pf. unless youve got an elite pf, you take a guy who can shoot, bang, works hard, listens and doesnt get hurt every day of the week.
