3/14 from the floor, 1/8 from 3. Most of his scoring has come from the free throw line tonight. He's going to shoot better than this most nights, but I'm just not a huge fan of his game.

Yea, a high volume 3 point guy had a poor shooting night. This is the same **** yall complained about Lowry and FVV to.

I don’t know why “most of his scoring has come from the FT line” is a big deal. Being able to take 8 FTs a night is a great thing, not a bad one.

This board just sucks at evaluating point guard play, especially high volume 3 point guys.

Lol I love that you throw Lowry in there as well :lol:. Fred and IQ are not in the same tier and or the same calibre of point guard as Lowry. Still talking about Fred I see :lol:. Just let it go man.

He absolutely is if you value the advanced stats. He's closer to top 10.
:lol:

And here is exhibit a of why you need to watch games.


The best season of his career was a 16/5/5 guy as a 3rd/4th fiddle. Let’s just calm down on the “top 10” player talk


I am saying the metrics have him closer to top 10.

Yes, because he played on a loaded team with 2 super high USG guys and hasn't had the opportunity to be a feature guy. Let's see what season he has this year. I think he's capable of a lot more and will show it.

He absolutely is if you value the advanced stats. He's closer to top 10.

He is absolutely worth giving up atop 10 pick if you are serious about being good. Apparently Celtics laughed at the offer if I remember.


Yup, they laughed off the offer.

For a team trying to compete, he would be an incredible piece.

The problem with Darko is that he doesn't win, and he's not developing either.
