Brandon Knight and Khris Middleton are balling right now 

Post#1 » by SAKURABA216 » Tue Dec 31, 2013 1:07 am

Who knew we had such a decent back court last year. I sont mind the Knight trade since Jennings has been decent, but we lost Middleton for nothing which is a shame. Its reminiscent of losing Afflalo, I wish we would have kept these 2 around, sigh.

You know who else is balling right now? Wade, and Bosh. If only we didn't pick Darko.

We could have also gotten paul george (10th) instead of greg monroe (7th)

Assuming literally nothing changes

Drummond
Smith
George
SG
Jennings

Looks really nice.

There were a lot of people upset with giving up Middleton. Apparently everyone but Joe saw the talent there. We have a terrible, moron of a GM. He chases after big names, not talent or pieces that fit.

Trey Burke has not looked that good, I don't know where people are getting that from.

I'm not all that upset about Knight. Jennings is definitly an upgrade ,still not sure if he'll put it all together,but the man can definitly pass. But I really hated losing Middleton .

The real sore point IMO is that Middleton is shooting .449 from downtown. He's proving to be exactly what we needed/are missing at this point.

Knight up to 17/5/5 on the month. Was kind of impressed until I saw his shooting percentages..

Knight definitely is balling. Middleton has been the most impressive on that Bucks roster though. So solid...

Knight is the same terrible PG on a hot streak. Middleton is a keeper though.

39% shooting with 32.8% from three and an assist to turnover ratio of 2.

Jennings is shooting 40.4% with 37.8% from three and an assist to turnover ratio of 2.2

Excuse me while I fail to lament the loss of Brandon "career .025 WS48" Knight.

Knight is the worst starting PG in the NBA. He's putting points on the board no doubt (41%FG, 33% from 3) but he's still not a PG. Knight's best case scenario is Eric Bledsoe- another combo guard- I wont ever miss him. He's not what we need in a starting PG, he's a 3rd guard.

Middleton on the other hand, is just what we need at SF this season, a sniper.
