How bout that AB!

[KillMonger]

The only swing factor here is time, are we going to give AB the time he needs to reach his potential? Or if there is a deal out there and the other team wants him are we going to pull that trigger? For me it depends on the player

When can we say that AB is on a better trajectory than Suggs was? Not yet, but it's getting close.

Black was fouled hard on that play.

It's not about APGs per se, it's about creating good offense. Celtics due pace are 18th in APGs ( 4th slowest pace), but Prichard, White, Horford, Tatum, Brown, ZIngis , Jrue all can pass . Once upon a time Jrue was top 5 "pass first" PGs, Hoford averaged 5 APG as medium usage PF/c in his prime so we know that they know how to move ball.

Among all the counting stats, assists are most archaic. Due how basketball is played nowadays it's near impossible to end up with 0 assists from nothing but ball swings.
Like, last night Jalen Duren ended up with 7 assists in 24 min. Towns had 11 in 34 min.

Needless to say sometimes nba awards player for assist for doing next to nothing. Like, guy passes to a guy, guy does 5 dribbles but within assist window, and makes some layup /long shots and there you are- assist. That's why i'm alway shocked when i see guys like Isaac spending weeks with 0 assists. It's almost anomaly in current league , given how it's counted.

Yeah it’s not necessarily a statement about players getting super high assist numbers as much as it’s a larger indicator of how well the system is working overall.

I've been ready to move on from the AB project most of the season but really glad to see him have a nice run of games. Will be interesting to see how he does in high pressure play-in, and maybe playoff, games

Its good in a case that it increases his trade value. He shouldnt be part of the team next year anymore. Just not a good fit at all next to Franz and Paolo.

I'm really excited about AB's recent surge...more than ever makes me want to move off KCP for a starting Lead Guard, with AB backing up Suggs and still having a lane towards being PGOTF. In the meantime, a much less expensive, younger version of KCP with some additional promise of playmaking to come.

Not saying he's completely off the table, but as a part-time Capologist, he and TdS have a ton of value as keepers because they can contribute in the rotation without the big contract. It'd really have to be a deal-breaker for another team, but I'd prefer to add a frp than throw in either one.

They may have the same trajectory but Siggs is more infectious. Their motor is different. Its like comparing a Ferrari to a Kia.

Do Ferraris break down a lot? I think you probably mean Jaguar those cars seem to break down quite frequently

You get to drive a Ferrari 45% of the time or you get to drive a motorcycle 100% of the time, even when its hailing outside.

We are currently taking a 1999 Honda CIvic to work though (Joseph) because it's been hailing, AB isnt a point guard, and hes better off the bench.

Did I do it right?

Not really. I don't think Suggs or Black are going to end up being NBA PGs. Not sure if the general narrative of the thread is that the last couple pages.

I think I do it better, TBH

I didn't watch highlights, but he had another aggressive first half. What happened in the second half? I was listening in, but you do not see the other 4 players on offense.
