and they also think Drew Gooden is a low post presence. Check out the Expectations for next season in their Thread. Not smart people.

wonderful thread, very informative. and btw, KG is rarely ever a low-post presence

By lowpost I mean someone who can dominate the paint (mid range/ft shots count) and draw double teams.

So what.

KG is not a low post presence. He is a dominant high post player. That's why Boston should try dealing Ray for Shaq b/c the C's could use a low post presence. If not that, then Ray for Crawford and Curry.

Yeah, KG doesn't work in the low post. Gooden is a terrible power forward regardless of where he works.

Roughly 25% of KG's offense comes from inside, with the other 75% coming on jump shots. He's not a dominant post player, although he's better down there than anybody Chicago has.

KG is a presence in the post. Fact.

he protects the basket better than anyone except maybe amare and dwight howard on defense. he's a presence when someone knows he's nearby to alter a shot.

he's a presence when he has the ball on the block (which is actually fairly frequently) because he's so good at finding open players or going iso.

how is he not a presence in the low post? thats obsurd. why do teams frantically double team him when he catches the ball down there?

Since the Bulls won the lottery, our Board has been flooded with new posters & new threads are created so fast that the first page fills up within 30 minutes.

A lot of these posters are unknown to most of the Moderators.

Just because one or 2 of these strangers says something stupid, dont say "Bulls fans" think that way.

There are lots of stupid things being said on our Board in the last few days. It will continue.

Bulls catch a lucky break & now people who we didnt know existed come by & say they are Bulls fans
