Felton sucks at every facet of basketball

Felton is a better play-maker than Curry, with a higher assist-to-bad pass-ratio, and 0.1 less apg than Curry, despite Felton being on the Bobcats for much of his career. He's a 49.7% True Shooter for his career, which is good. It would be higher if he came off of screens as much as Curry, if his coaches got him more wide open shots in other ways like Mark does for Curry, and if he took as many shots as Curry. Felton only averages 1 less rpg for his career than Curry. Felton is a better ball-handler than Curry. I could go on but even if you were right, that opinion still doesn't change the fact that Felton gets roasted for his defense alone.

I'm not gonna call him a ball hog, because he's great for 95% of the game.

But there have been many late-game situations this year where he is dead set on the 1-on-1 pull-up 3 and he either ends up with a terrible shot, or gets stuck with no one to pass to......like last night, for example.

It's a problem with having such a great 1-on-1 player, its easy to forgo any sort of play in the final minutes. When it fails, it looks ugly.

I blame that on coaching. The Warriors are a sloppy ass team and their offense is mediocre this year.

So, as long as you average 5+ assists, it doesn't matter how many shots you take when you're the PG? It was ok for Lj to give Wade and Bosh 7 and 8 shots each and take 26 for himself in the Pacers series last season because he had 6 assists?
Uh when you are tied for fourth in the league in assists and 3rd in the league in FG percentage at your position what else are you supposed to do? You cant call someone a chucker when they are efficient, who is he taking shots away from? You're trying to school a Warriors fan who watches every game.

Warriors have no offensive system

Could be better offensively if the coaching wasnt so awful

Jackson is a shyt coach.

Bruh Mark jackson is an ISO coach. 99% of our plays are iso's, Steph doesnt even always get to take the last shot (see: klay and iggys game winners)

Steph was feeling like he was back in college at davidson last night:lolbron:

Klay has played better even though he was cold last night.

I know bogut isnt an offensive player but they should get him involves more.

Mark doesnt when to call a timeout.

Knicks went on a run in the second quarter and mark didnt do shyt

I never called anyone a chucker and I'm not trying to “school” anyone. I'm trying to find out what you believe about fga's in relation to assists because of what you posted. To answer your questions, he could cut his fga's down to the same amount as pass-first PG's like CP3, Rondo, Parker, etc, which is 10-14 fga's per game and give the rest to Klay, David, Bogut and the rest of his guys.
