Is Felton Playing Better or is Everyone Else Playing Worse?

He's atop the "Hammer" rankings, which are (as you know) supremely accurate.

Discuss.

Felton and Ammo are better, Wallace and Okafor are doing what they always do and Jrich has been hurt/got off to a slow start. That + homerism=top of the Hammer charts.

He's not forcing the issue as much. In fact, I would say he's slowed down a lot - something that he has always needed to do. He's playing more in the flow of the offense and not against it.

I would say it's a little from column A and a little from column B but over all, I would say that Felts is playing better than he has done in the past for sure.

I think he's playing better. He's had some nice shooting games that have helped him out, but Slam is right. He's being a little more patient when needed and getting us into our offense quicker at the same time.

Aside from that Gerald and J Rich are obviously not very comfortable in LB"s offense and both of their numbers are down as a result.

LB preaching drive over shooting jumpers has done wonders for felton. when he does shoot jumpers now, they are usually good, wide-open shots. he seems to be finishing at the rim better as well.

If he could suck less at shooting he would be our best player possibly. I would like to see more assists personally. I don't think he's playing better than the last 20 games of last year.
