And for you, that's okay, not an issue for me. Again, only time will tell but you obviously don't subscribe to my "Jordan Goodwin needs tons of work" assessment if you believe he is one of your shooters right now. I would be curious as to how you judge your assessments to date because if its preseason hype or hearsay, being jaded will come. And I sure hope he gets better. Again, there are stats for 3FG% and 2FG%. JG shot 40% from the floor last year and 26%from three. I think an even truer would be backing out his layups and reexamining a FG% from there. But that's just me. Remember: even billiken roy can make a layup (so he says). torch: no argument with Thatch being third .... or first or second or whatever even. Thatch was only .6% better than Goodwin was last year. Jacoibs shots 16%; Hankton beat all three at 28%. Granted the sample size is truly small. But I'll wait and see ----- Thatch could shoot 5% and maybe fulfill torch's prophesy---- you never know. And I know the statement is ludicrous. It's the point I'm focused on. The best thing I can say about one exhibition is Jimmerson jacked it and does not appear afraid to continue to do so. Can't wait fro Tuesday night. Love the debate points and I hope to be proven wrong. Lol I use my eyes. Being around basketball you can just tell. He's got good rotation and a repeatable stroke. If he makes 7 more 3's spread over 36 games last year (getting him to about 35= 3pt %) would that be good enough for you? I've seen him in warmups and practice knock down 7 or 8 3's in a row. But unfortunately people don't make every shot every game. People have bad games but that doesn't make them "not shooters". Is Goodwin a 3 pt specialist? No. But he's a shooter and I've seen enough to be confident in him taking anything he feels is a good shot for him. Jacobs had 11 total attempts last year. You throw numbers out the window at that point and use your knowledge of the game. But you can continue to tear our guys down for no reason. It's real cool of you. Also it's Jimerson for the 100th time. That ish is getting old fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sending DMs to board members chastising their spelling is obsessive behavior. You must realize Jimmerson is being misspelled just to egg you on. Better to just let it go. My, aren't you mature! No this is not a spelling bee ,BUT I think it is only fair to spell our players' name correctly. If you, BR and Almaman want to continue to f around with it I feel sorry for you.

almaman Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 speaking about maturity on a MB dedicated to old fans many of them boomers+ of a bunch of supposed amateur 18 year olds playing basketball 30+ games through less than 1/2 a year but carried on about here 365 days a year is rich.

Taj79 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Rise ---- "tear our guys down for no reason?" I am simply pointing out atrocious 3FG% for all to whom such percentages belong. Goodwin, Thatch and Jacobs are all from last year. I have no discernible basis for the others just yet. Sure, Jacobs' sample is undoubtedly small. But that's all I got. You believe with your eyes, I can respect that because you see them more than I do. n My eyes will start on the couch come Tuesday. It all remains to be seen and I am hoping for great strides like all the rest. I've seen alot with these eyes over the last 50 or so years ..... and some of the best looking warm up line and practice players have failed come delivery time. I DO NOT want that to be the case with our guys but until we see what we will see, we don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quality Is Job 1 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Spelling test. Which of the following names is spelled correctly? Jevon Bess Erwin Clagget Drew Deiner Monroe Douglas Dwight Evans Dave Ferguson Roland Grey Tramain Isabel Gibson Jimerson Jamall Johnson Tommie Lidell Rob Lowe Carlos Macauley Ed McCauley Luke Myers Rich Nieman Marques Perry Evan Peterson Duane Polk Corey Remuken Jamal Walker I think a lot of you will fail this test (even me, as I had to look up the spelling of some of these names!). For some of the misspelled names, I had more than one choice for errors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
