You guys are right MKG is the best overall player, IMO Al is the best offensive player, I shouldce worded it better.

This was embarrassing. I hope we tank this year the right way and get rid of Clifford after this season. This proves we should have tanked last season but MJ had the playoffs dangled in front of him and couldn't help himself even though half of the conference was tanking.

Al is our 4th best player, if that. Im not sure he is even more impactful than Biyombo. Bring on the flaming!!

Al isnt even a good offensive player. He is only a good scorer. He is downright awful in every other respect on offense. He is a bad passer, has terrible court vision and awareness, is terrible at setting screens and moving without the ball, bad offensive rebounder. He literally might as well lay down and nap anytime he doesnt have the ball or we are on defense. He brings one useful skill (post scoring) and is an ok defensive rebounder. Outside of that he is literally useless.

I'd say that he is an okay passer, just not a willing one. If he does try hitting the open cutters, he usually is successful. He has the skills and hands to make an accurate pass. It's just that once he gets in the motion of a post move, it seems like the rest of the court (even the three defenders on him) are an after-thought.

True, ive seen him make some really nice passes when he actually looks for teammates. He can hold the ball away from defenders with one hand and flip it real quick to open cutters.

Everytime he does one of those I completely forget how much I hate his game for a few plays. He would be infinitely more effective if he would just make teams pay for doubling him.
