They will be a top 3 defensive team. Sure, the offense will be awful but at least the team will have an identity to build on and win games. The Lakers will be bad on both ends of the floor most nights.

KCP and Randle win

Huge Manatee

7/12/17 2:35pm

nah. KCP sucks. the only thing he beats Ingles is getting shots up. Ingles

smokymountainrain

7/12/17 2:37pm

KCP is the better defender

Huge Manatee

7/12/17 2:38pm

nope. the numbers don't support that. they favor ingles in pretty much every

smokymountainrain

7/12/17 2:43pm

Most likely because Ingles played with Gobert

Huge Manatee

7/12/17 2:44pm

whatever the case, there is no argument that KCP is a better defender. also

smokymountainrain

7/12/17 2:46pm

Gobert is that much better defensively than most other centers

Huge Manatee

7/12/17 2:47pm

Ingles. 3 years 52 million. KCP 1 year 18 million. Any questions?

wapiti

Pistons offered KCP $80M

Huge Manatee

They dodged a bullet.

And the jazz may have taken one

Ingram over Hood? Maybe in terms of potential, but last year Hood was either

jreid191

7/12/17 2:50pm

Ingram was significantly improved post all star break

Huge Manatee

7/12/17 2:56pm

Hood was injured most of the second half of the year

wapiti

7/12/17 2:59pm

Randle over Favors? Not a chance.

ManicBlue

7/12/17 2:51pm

The Lakers spent all summer trying to give move Randle, and no one bit......

BoiseBlue

7/12/17 2:53pm

yep. even in a very down and injured year for Favors, the two were pretty much

smokymountainrain

7/12/17 2:58pm

Randle, 13 & 9 vs Favors, 9 & 6

Huge Manatee

7/12/17 2:58pm

On a per possession basis Favors pts and reb were just a hair below Randle

jreid191

7/12/17 3:16pm

Unfortunately, you can't just ignore the injuries

Huge Manatee

7/12/17 3:18pm

Tough argument

wapiti

7/12/17 3:22pm

and Randle missed 104 games over the previous 2 seasons. Are you going to hold

ManicBlue

7/12/17 3:39pm

Where are you getting your stats? Randle played 81 games in '15-'16 and 74

KCP can't throw it in the ocean...if he could the Pistons wouldn't have....

Jazz in 4.

Lakers suck

cougarnerd

7/12/17 2:31pm

Jazz have 5 of the top 7 players in that particular matchup

jreid191

7/12/17 2:43pm

Randle was better than Favors last year

Huge Manatee

"Ingram will surpass Hood very quickly, if he hasn't already".....

BoiseBlue

7/12/17 3:01pm

When you say the last month, you're talking about April right?

Huge Manatee

7/12/17 3:05pm

When looking at the splits for Ingram March is the anomaly.

wapiti

7/12/17 3:13pm

yep, if we want to look at March while ignore April regression, Rubio is the

smokymountainrain

7/12/17 3:20pm

I didn't say ignore April

Huge Manatee

7/12/17 3:24pm

post all-star game he shot 47% FG, 27% 3P, and 54% FT

jreid191

7/12/17 3:30pm

Those numbers don't seem that far off from Hood

Huge Manatee

7/12/17 3:37pm

The 27% 3 pt% and 54% FT% are much worse

wapiti

7/12/17 4:11pm

?? Ingram averaged 13.2 ppg on 47.7% shooting between March and April (18 games)

Faceman

7/12/17 3:20pm

not that far off. 42% FGs, 25% 3pt for a dismal and embarrasing 46% TS% in April

smokymountainrain

7/12/17 3:23pm

12.7 ppg on 42% shooting is still much better than the claim of 7.8 ppg on

BoiseBlue

As a Duke fan who's watched/loved both Ingram and Hood, I choose Ingram all day

jamalccc

His defensive rating was beyond awful last year

wapiti

7/12/17 8:24pm

Both teams would make the playoffs in the Eastern Conference

Funke

Valid point

Huge Manatee

A lot Winn depend on Hood improving. He will need to be consistent and able to
