You can got stop. FG% tells you overall how well you shot or don't shot. Anything below 40% is terrible.
Stop watching videos and highlights and think you are a draft expert. Draft experts don't know half the time what they are talking about. Last season you were hyping up Jules Bernard for example. I kept saying he is decent but not that good. I live in the West Coast, so I got to see UCLA play a lot and he was a decent college player, nothing to get excited about.
You hype up about 50 players every upcoming draft. I appreciate your enthusiasm but remember not to go overboard. Watching videos on players is fun but it's only that.
FG% does not tell you how well someone shoots. By that logic, I suppose you think that Robert Williams is the best shooter in the NBA?
Nothing wrong with actually watching film of the prospects play and understanding the context behind their stats.
I never called my self an expert. I'm just talking basketball. If you don't like it, then ignore my posts. Click the foe button. I value everyone's opinion on here. And could care less if you live on the west coast - get off your high horse.
There's plenty of players I'm not as high on. I made a detailed post before about why I'm not as high on Andre Jackson Jr for the Celtics. I'm not as high on Sanogo and Jordan Miller as you are, but I didn't go on a rant talking sh&t to you about why you ranked those guys too high - I didn't say "you need to change your board".
I'm not as high on Drew Peterson as some people on here. Oscar Tshiebwe and Drew Timme have been brought up in here and I explained why I'm not as high on them.
When you have the 35th pick (and you don't know yet who the first 34 picks will be) there's a lot of possibilities. There's at least 20-30 guys you could potentially pick. And that list changes throughout the 6 or so months leading up to the draft. Plus you grab an UDFA and there's another 20 or so guys we could potentially sign for that spot. So there's a lot of guys we could possibly discuss. Sorry if you don't like that? It would be pretty boring if we just talked about the same 2 or 3 guys over and over the whole time.
I'll post what I want.
Breathe. Don't take things so personal. I didn't say I didn't like your draft board. I said he Jackson doesn't belong at 14. That could mean he might be decent at 24 or 28. I didn't think you would get hurt over that.
Personally I don't like GG Jackson's game. Never said I didn't enjoy your posts. Me saying I watch a lot of UCLA games being from the West Coast meant to you I'm on a high horse? East Coast is just as good as the West Coast. I get a chance to see there local games at times, that all that mean.
Robert Williams plays center. He is a high efficient player and leads the league in FG% or is in the top 5 every year. He gets most of his made shots within 3 feet of the basket. Not sure how that fits with Jackson being a bad shooter. Rob doesn't shoot, he dunks or makes layups.
GG Jackson is a terrible shooter for a wing. Not ok or average. Or even good like you said, but terrible. His BBIQ makes Jaylen Brown look like Jokic. 27 assists to 83 TOs for the season.
He averaged 15 points a game on 14 shots, on a bad team. That's very low efficiency.
Now if you say you like his upside, that's one thing. But this team doesn't need a bad shooting, ball hog with extremely low BBIQ. Let a bad team draft him so he can get a few minutes. Not saying he won't turn out to be good because he can be with his size, ball handling and ability to create separation. But for our team, that's a pass for me unless maybe we had about 2nd round pick.
He's not a bad shooter. He's an above average catch and shoot guy. And has displayed very impressive shot making ability for a dude who's 6'9" and a PF / small ball 5 (I wouldn't call him a wing).
We can agree to disagree. I would take him if he's still there at 35. Yes, he has some flaws and some stuff to work on. But he's very young (youngest player in the draft class) so he's earlier in his development. And the upside (could potentially end up being a top 10 or even top 5 player from this draft class) would be too good to pass up, being able to get a guy like that at pick 35.
