Lol, brought out a John Bagley reference....love this place.

nikkas have agendas, but I think Dame is fringe top 7 PG. I've always felt that the clutch factor is overrated, but he has a great release on his jumper. The handle is good, and he's improved his finishing ability this year. Defense isn't good and he goes through stretches where he takes terrible shots.

Didn't get a chance to watch the game, being a Blazers fan that lives on the east coast is a cold world, but it looks like he was able to get his teammates involved with 8 assists and grabbed 5 boards.

I wouldn't call him trash. Dude is obviously talented. But to inefficient for my taste shootin' that much.

But I thought the samething about AI who most folks love, so...

Ok. So we judge his entire season by the 10 or so games after the all star break?
Actually he was playing poorly prior to the All-Star break too. He shot 37% for the month of January and was close to the worst PG defensively. I think we all know he isn't garbage, but he isn't as good as his apologists make him out to be.

:manny:

He's really good but not at the top tier. At least not yet , and that's okay. It's his third year lol. He's got the endorsements and star hype so it has people forgetting he's still young and not even the best player on his team.

I agree with Gil that he'd come somewhere after that top 5. You guys sure Kyrie is a top 5 PG this season though? What about Jeff Teague?

I'm not sure I'd take lillard over Teague right now tbh.

Then why co-sign calling him trash?

What did the rest of his numbera look like?

He passed the eye test, he was ballin to me.
