1/3 - POSTGAME | Oklahoma City Thunder (133) - (96) Los Angeles Lakers

[Funcrusher]

I just want to take a moment and talk about how low-key good Huestis has been. I’ve been calling on him to get minutes since the season before last. The thing that he brings to our team that helps a lot is his switch-ability. He’s a really solid defender who can switch on 2s through 5s and do a good job. And he can hit the open 3. That’s huge.

He is shooting 31.7% from 3 even though nearly all of his shots are open and most are wide open. That's not good. He's better than Roberson and Grant at this, but that's a very low bar.

Yeah and Ferguson is shooting ~25% on threes for the season. Huestis is essentially a rookie and sure 31% isn’t great. But the consistency will come. The fact that a defender has to respect Huestis at the perimeter is a huge when you pair that with his defensive contributions.

He's only averaged 8 minutes per game. And I don't really think a defender has to respect Huestis at the perimeter all that much.

But defenders don't respects Huestis shot. They help off him all the time, not as much as with Roberson, but still pretty blatantly. Most of his 3s are wide open.

Hope Ferguson is not another Jeremy Lamb. Nice performance out there. Huestis +30.

Ummmm....perhaps you're not paying attention. Lamb this year is averaging 15 points 5 rebounds and 3 assists shooting 36% on 3s and 86% on free throws. It's not Lamb's fault Presti foolishly picked Roberson over him. It was a stupid mistake.

It's funny the reactions of people on here who act as if 24 points from a starting shooting guard in the NBA is some sort of monumental achievement. With the looks the starting 2 gets in this offense this kind of game should happen plenty of times throughout the year.

And yet, Lamb's team is firmly worse than OKC and he's not as good a player. Bizarre that multiple franchises seem to agree on that.

I dont know if you have a time limit on how long your parents let you use your kindle fire ,but there was an interesting stat about his performance you might not have seen. Only Ferguson and Durant have had such high scoring performances as teenage rookies for the thunder in their first start. Therefore it’s monumnetal.

Are you kidding me? Are you seriously trying to say that Roberson is a better player than Lamb? That might be one of the funniest things I've ever heard in my life. Roberson is better than Lamb in one facet of basketball and that's defense. Lamb is a better ball handler, better scorer, better passer (basically anything whatsoever that has to do with offense) and he actually averages more rebounds per minute than Roberson so he beats him there as well. Keep in mind also that it's easy to play the defense Roberson does when he expends no energy on offense. Anybody would be great if they just stood in the corner on every offensive possession and did nothing like Roberson does. Lamb is UNQUESTIONABLY a superior player to Roberson and it's not even close. As far as Charlotte's team the success or lack of success they're having isn't because Lamb is playing bad or is a bad player. They just don't have the talent OKC does.

I could care less if he's 16. A starting shooting guard in the NBA who is competent offensively is going to score than many points quite a few times throughout the regular season. It's just that you all have been watching Roberson for so long that you think 24 points is like scoring 50 or some sort of career game. Not every shooting guard sucks like Roberson does. OKC has cornered the market on starting shooting guards that can't score with Thabo and Roberson. They're pretty much the only team that thinks it's a great idea.

you have no idea how to quantify defensive impact, and nobody that does could ever have this opinion.

Yes.

And actually you claiming Lamb superior is quite funny to everyone else.

Theres a reason everyone says the same thing to you on every site you spam Roberson posts on. Maybe at some point you should really question your beliefs since apparently the real world already does.
