Baby Goat , Boy wonder , he is a Bucket !
Never heard of her
Substainable or nah ?
Remember people in the offseason getting mad at me for saying Herro, Maxey and Poole were at the same level
I think he is *above averaging*.
But this sub told me Maxey and Poole were way better
Idc, he’s better than Poole and Barrett
6.3 rebounds a game for a player with an negative wingspan is crazy. He really is a good rebounder, regardless of his position
Rather than post another “But People said Maxey, Poole and Barrett were better”, let me try to Hypothesize on what I think they each bring to a role.
Maxey – Downhill Slashing Guard with tons of rim pressure, struggles to create his own shot as a 1 on 1 creator, but Ridiculous in the open court and great off the catch. Built to be the perfect No. 2 or 3 option on a Contendor. Tools to be a good POA defender, and great in passing lanes.
Poole – Great Pullup & Catch & Shoot threat, good 1 on 1 creator but struggles massively with turnovers, very suspect defence and no idea how he would do for a full season without Curry drawing double teams everytime down the court. He has shown ability without him, but very inconsistent. Can’t guarantee 20 points every night, but when he’s hot he could get 40. His ceiling is No. 1.5 option on a Contendor, and floor is being stuck as a 6th man bench option. No idea where he goes.
Herro – Elite One on One ability, from the Mid range, the three and now even his paint scoring is getting better. Improved on the playmaking end. Doesn’t really affect passing lanes a lot but probably one of the best Guard rebounders in past 2-3 seasons now. Also like really clutch tbh, dude has ice in his veins. Needs to learn to get to the line better eventually. Ceiling also No. 1.5 option, Floor probably No. 3 option, when you just got done averaging 21 as a bench guy, and are now moving 22 PPG already as a starter and multiple game winners in first 30 games, with your guys in and out of lineups, you deserve respect to be considered atleast the bonafide No. 3 on a Contendor.
Barrett – No comment.
I clicked on the thumbnail and thought he was averaging 14 (his jersey number)
Why dont people want to give him a little respect? You don’t have to call him a star but the dudes been balling tf out. Hes improved every year hes been in the league.
“Full season” 30 games in huh
This doesn’t match my preferred narrative so I’ll simply ignore it.
I haven’t gotten to watch a lot of him this year, how has his defense been?
Wow, what a quick season that was. I can’t believe it’s over already. I guess they’re really taking load management seriously now.
He’s better than Poole.
Yeah. He’s freaking good. People hate him for God knows what.
