That and the fact he can't shoot will make it tough for him to make it going forward. He was invited to last year's camp but remember even Rose is a better 3 point shooter. Only PG near as bad shooting wise is Westbrook. It is weird to see Beal make it over Wall but that is why Beal, Korver, and Klay Thompson all got invites.
He apparently tore a ligament in his elbow on this one. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nba-ball-dont-lie/knicks-andrea-bargnani-indefinitely-torn-ligament-left-elbow-234506602--nba.html
His shooting numbers are similar to Irving's across the board this year and superior in pretty much every other facet of the game (every NBA analyst I read had him over Irving in their All-Star picks). His shooting numbers are also similar to Rose's from the last time Rose was healthy. too. Lillard's better from 3 but worse inside the arc. That leaves only Paul, Curry, and Lillard from deep as clearly superior shooters.
He's not terrible from his sweet spot on the right elbow, but that has had the unfortunate effect of giving him confidence in his midrange shot generally, which as you say has not been good. The whole team has problem with it, though.
Let's be honest though, he's no where near Irving as a shooter. Kyrie had an absolutely abysmal first month shooting the rock but has since righted he ship.
Couldn't agree more. No reason Kobe should of been voted in, let alone a starter.
LOL
It's against the HornCats. I wouldn't pat him on the back too hard. They don't seem to know how to play D.
They aren't playing that way tonight. It's looking like the Knicks will win by 45-50 at the rate this is going
Maybe he's not a top 10 player anymore, but he's really good and worth the max contract he's about to get.
I'm a huge fan and would love him in Houston but...
So 31.8% from 3 is close to 37.3% from 3? From everything I've heard on ESPN tonight about the ASG, the biggest reason they put Wall ahead of Irving was b/c Wall's team is good and Irving's team sucks. As far as shooting, of course he is better inside the arc than Lillard b/c he is a better finisher at the rim. But for the international game, the 3 is more important. If you look at Vorped shots outside the paint but inside the arc, Wall is 104/282 for 36.9% compared to Lillard at 48/101 at 47.5%. Yes, Wall shoots 62% at the rim compared to Lillard at 46% but that isn't really helping your case about better shooter. Similarly, Irving is at 41%.
And they score 87 and lose. Crazy.
I assume you will not be complaining about the refs any more after George got the MJ like superstar call to force overtime.
He's definitely better than Griffin and Westbrook. You can make compelling arguments for him over Harden, Davis, Curry & even Howard. I'd personally rank him over Harden & Davis, putting Melo at #9
Griffin? I'd take Cousins and David Lee both over Griffin. Not sayingthey are top 10 either.
Really? Did you watch that game? This was the 1 call the Pacers seemed to get all night. This doesn't compare to a game deciding call in the playoffs.
Is this the extent of your brain working? It seems as though. Do you have any real insight to add?
No, that's it.Is this the extent of your brain working? It seems as though. Do you have any real insight to add?
Nobody cares. That was like 10 years ago against a horrid team. Move on.
Melo the player is better than most on this list.
