NBATV Mid Season Grades - Bobcats

Post #1 » by **fatlever** » Sun Feb 3, 2013 9:27 pm

Frontcourt - F
Backcourt - C+
Defense - F
Bench - D-
Coaching - F
Overall - F

agree or disagree?

i would have probably given us a C- in bench simply due to sessions and gordon. and maybe a D in coaching, because its better than last year so that is improvement.

seems accurate, except the coaching

dont we have the highest scoring backcourt in the league? obv cause the front court is so terrible but I'd give us at least a B for that. Kemba/Sessions is one of the best PG duos in the league this year

I'd swap the grades for coaching and bench since like you said, it's better than last year. The fact that Jeff Adrien can come in and instantly become a key bench guy is pretty damning of our frontcourt and bench IMO.

The backcourt deserves to get at least get a B- grade. Opposing teams have fits trying to contain Kemba, Sessions, and Gordon from scoring. If we had a competent frontcourt we would be fighting for the 8th seed. Dennis Scott and Rick Kamla barely know anything about the Bobcats. Sekou Smith seem to have some knowledge though.

since they created a separate category for the bench, i would assume the backcourt rating is based on the starters only - kemba and hendo/jt. when you take that into consideration C is about right. kemba is a B+ Hendo is a D. bench should be higher due to sessions having a great season.

I'd give our backcourt a B. That quartet of Kemba, Hendo, Gordon, and Sessions is very good. Too bad Dunlap makes Hendo and Gordon play a lot of minutes at the 3.

But our frontcourt, defense, and coaching all deserv F's. Our backcourt is solid, but doesn't even appear that way because everything else sucks so hard.

people still missing the point - backcourt grade is based on starters. sessions and gordon part of the bench grade.

If Sessions and Gordon are a part of the bench grade and not the backcourt grade then the D- bench grade should be disputed as well being that I doubt many other teams have two players averaging well over double figures off the bench. We have to have one of the highest scoring benches in the league.

agreed, which is why i say bench grade was too low. should have been a C-, instead of a D-.

Bench C- Although we are getting propped up by the backcourt bench players only.

This paints a pretty good picture.

my individual grades for each player - based on their play relative to best and worst in the league at same positions. not based on my expectations of each player. for example Lebron = A+, Diop = F

walker: B+
sessions: B
kidd-gilchrist: C
henderson: C-
gordon: C-
adrien: D+
biyombo: D+
mullens: D+
taylor: D+
williams: D
haywood: D
warrick: D-
thomas: F
diop: F
