I think the Kings fan hate for him was misconstrued. Most fans in Sac love Isaiah and were mad when he was not resigned. We also knew he would never come back and be a backup for the Kings because the Kings did not have anyone better than him to start at PG. Honestly the Sun is the perfect situation for her outside of backing up a top 5 PG.

He was a ball movement last season was a problem. IT took most f the heat for it because he was the PG. There were plenty of other factors that played in to it (like lack of ball-handlers in the lineup). He is definitely going to be sixth man of the year. He is going to run away with it

The thing the Kings wanted to do with IT is exactly what PHX is doing, the only problem was IT wanted to start in Sacramento. As a starter he did kill ball movement at times and he was a liability on D, but make no mistake about it: We loved our Pizza Guy!!!!!

I think both of yall are the exceptions, plenty of hate for IT in that thread I posted. So much discussion about how the ball moves better without IT and everything.

Oddly enough, the Suns have more ball movement when IT is in the game as opposed to Dragic or Bledsoe :lol:

8th in PER, ahead of LeBron, Harden, Paul.

Lol no offense JT, but that list is worthless. The best player on the planet isn't even on it and freaking Courtney Lee is #4.

Um no.

Too early for people to eat crow about IT saying he would be in at the end of games? Heck, the way he is going, he may even start games, like he wanted. :o

I don't know what is up with our backcourt, but I'm starting to believe if we played IT and Green for the OT, we beat Sac.

Agreed, Green for sure. IT seemed like he was struggling a bit that game. Didn't seem like he was all there.

Small sample size, yes. Worthless, certainly not. Win shares measures your contribution to wins, not your straight up talent. Lebron hasn't played consistently great yet and his team has three wins. By the end of the season he will surely be in the top five. Last year top five (20 mpg min.) was Durant, Paul, LeBron, Love, Curry.

Thus far, IT has been a better contributor to wins than just about everyone else, including LeBron.

Courtney Lee has been playing great, if he can play always at this level ( I don't think so) he would be one of the better perimeter players in the league. He is "the secret" in this Memphis' early succes.
