It doesn't, but you all complain that he didn't take over games. That is why. His coach played with a guard heavy vet offense. Not his fault. But did he complain? Nope. He put his head down, worked hard and did what his coaches asked of him.

No, i'm asking why he shot that bad for someone his role?

Also, with what you're saying, you're basically implying he just watched his team lose even if he could do more?


Umm no not at all. But if that's how you interpreted it, ok then.

If I'm not mistaken wasn't Hezonja benched for a LONG period of time for "undisclosed reasons" and people around the league rumored It having to do with his attitude?

you're mistaken

The thing i have with Isaac is if we draft him where is he playing? Is he eventually gonna take Gordon's spot at the 4? Would we try and breed him to be similar to Myles Turner at the 5? Or do we see him at the 3 in a kd,pg13,giannis role?. Would he even be the best available player at 6 or would they be drafting him based off of his measurements? When I look at it by position i don't see being able to play the 5 full time. And I still have fatih in gordon at the 4 spot. So that leaves the 3. If Isaac can play sf full time next to gordon at pf then he becomes really Intriguing for me. I just don't know if he can play sf full time because of his handling, play making, and 3ball. Defensively I think he'll be able to guard multiple positions but offensively where are you sticken him and what are you asking him to do? Those are my concerns.

Best way to go IMHO unless we trade Gordon. He's NOT a SF in this league.

u need to think outside the box

1 PG (EP)

2 sg/sf (Evan+???) Ross,Mario,Jae, many options there

2 forward (AG+isaac)
Suggs, AB, Tyus, Jase
Bane, AB, TDS , Jett
Franz, TDS, Panda
P5, JI, Panda, Moe

My sentiments exactly. Isaac does not displace AG at all... instead he absolutely compliments him. They are both "hybrid forwards". You place them on the player that they have the best defensive advantage. Most likely at the beginning while isaac is putting on weight....gordon will play the stronger pf.

Gordon's not a small forward offensively. His lack of 3PT shooting and lack of ability to create offense off the dribble proved that last year.

That said... statistically AG's been a better defensive player covering small forwards the last two years.

Vogel could have some fun cross matching/switching possibilities with an Isaac/Gordon front court defensively.

i still don't get why his name keeps getting mentioned around here man, don't get it. Dude is on a good team reaping the benefits playing on a good team with good players. Put him on a lesser team he won't be as good, quote me on that

If true, he has a promise from Phoenix. No way he shoots himself in the foot like that.
