STATS₁₅₋₁₆

wish i had an mvp ballot so i could troll and vote him 3rd

i suppose the real troll would be voting him first and denying steph the unanimous mvp, but i am an inherently polite person

I forgot this was a back to back for OKC. Not surprising they faded, that happens to everyone.

Edward the Spurs fan ‏@edwardfromda808
@bballbreakdown is it ok to make a counter argument that spurs are perfect on their 2nd games of back-to-back games this season?

lol'd at "Edward the Spurs fan" do not ask me why

hawks defrtg since the ot loss to the warriors on 2/23 is 89.7. spurs are second during that period at 92.4, then the celtics at 100.1

The rookie season of jahlil okafor

http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/o/okafoja01/on-off/2016/#on-off::none

Oof

+/- is a bad stat

It's a great stat, for one u can represent it w symbols

matt why do u hate jahlil so much?

Stole his girl

everyone hates jahlil okafor even tho he put up 18-7 on 50% in 30mins a game while playing for an insanely constructed wildly dysfunctional team, like i can understand thinking hes flawed or went too high but ppl really seem to think hes the devil and irredeemable which is kinda weird imo, like hes a 20 y/o rookie who had a p good season he has time to work on improving his game more

like its not just matt many ppl are very down on this guy!

im rootin for u jahlil!

having said that last years draft is starting to look like it was extremely stacked and hell prob end up as like the 7th best player

i dunno if you watch him it seems pretty clear that his upside is fairly limited

hes literally 20 years old jordan!

20 year old rookies reliable improve a lot actually, was he wearing a no upside sign or something how did u devine this information

that doesn't make the first statement untrue tho

its makes it highly suspect

he'll probably be as good as greg monroe, beauty is in the eye of the beholder

hes roughly as good as greg monroe right now!

which is a nice way of saying that greg monroe hasn't gotten that much better from his rookie season i.e. jahlil okafor doesn't have that much upside

jordan u can look at greg monroes rookie stats they are available online

as a 21 year old, greg monroe shot 52 percent from the field on 11.8 shots per game with 9.7 rebounds per game. as a 25 year old, greg monroe is shooting 52 percent from the field on 12.4 shots per game with 9.4 rebounds per game.

he's the same player.

jordan how can we trust yr opinion on this if you dont know what the word rookie means the definaiton is also available online

notice i havent even started to contest yr assertion that okafor and monroe are the same person but if i were going to i wld start with the fact that they have different names and look different and also have been seen in the same place at the same time before

well monroe's rookie year numbers are a bit of a misnomer simply because he was only taking 7 shots per game, which jahlil isn't

if your argument is that 20 year old jahlil okafor has comparable numbers to 21 year old greg monroe whose numbers are identical to 25 year old greg monroe then i would say i'm not sure how that really helps your argument at all

jordans argument against okafor: he is the same person as greg monroe only with a different rookie usage rate or something, this makes tons of sense i am super convinced, also a 21 y/o 2nd year is more meaningful to compare to a 20 y/o rookie year than a 20 y/o rookie year is, this is smart greg monroe is the key def i dont knwo why i didnt see this before
