He's honestly just not that good, right now Mario "Muthafukkin" Chalmers is actually outplaying him, they average the same PPG, except Mario does it in 10 less mpg. Come on fam, your offense was never "smooth" at any point during the season, he doesn't really set people up and he doesn't get into the lane. You don't even need a great PG, just somebody that can get into the lane at times.

He ran the sets and played good defense. Mario is playing with Lebron. That makes everything a lot easier especially if the defense is focused on Wade and Bosh more than the others. You know the game, you know that defenses can only focus on so many players if someone has a player on their team like Lebron or Tim Duncan.

your offensive efficiency dropped dramatically this year from last year.

he puts zero pressure on the defense, becomes flustered if you put ball pressure on him, he can't give hibbert the ball, likes to hang around the perimeter. you'll never win with him as your lead guard.

he's a big plate of average. a backup combo guard. lance is the best PG on that team.

up until yesterday and probably still into today Pacers had the most efficient offense of any team in the playoffs, which means out of the best teams in the league left our offense was the most efficient when it mattered most. There were other issues like Granger being gone, Hibbert being injured, Lance being stuck in the starting role out of nowhere that account for the regular season offense not being very good, but when it has mattered most in the playoffs the offense has been effective for the most part. Hill has better stats than the majority of starting PG's in the league so Im not buying the he's not very good overreactionary crap

If he could play the two guard spot I think they should keep him for at least another season unless they can trade him for a legit upgrade at that spot. Stevenson and Hill are alright but last night showed me they need to get better at those spots. Lance has improved but I still don't know if he is the answer at the two guard spot. And Hill is better in a backup role. But Granger being the man in Indy is over with PG emerging and Hibbert improving.

Granger needs to worry if he has a degenerative knee condition right now.

Rumor is he may not come back

Come on breh, he's not a stud player at all. Of course his offense isn't the best. He's a role player playing with no superstars. If you put him in a role of a 5th option with four legit options in West, Hibbert, Granger, and PG. He is much better in terms of his role.

You are underselling him because of this series.

I told ya this dude is average as fukk. he's a 6th man at best. the guy can't create a shot to save his life.

Hill is fine as a starter but Indy needs a PG who can breakdown the defense with a passion. Jeff Teague would be perfect.

He's a starter for Indy and is a starting PG in the NBA since he's a solid PG but he can't attacking the paint at all with pressure. They need a J.J. Barea or someone who can attack the paint and breakdown the defense and dish it out.

I don't see the purpose for calling him out. He's not a clear cut 35-38 mpg starting PG but we all knew that. Replacing him is not necessary but getting a backup who can attack the paint is.

Eric Bledsoe on the pacers :ahh:

He would be perfect but his price is quite high. Too much so for Indy.

Eric Bledsoe and Lance Stephenson playing in the backcourt together... the decision making and potential for turnovers in a playoff series next season :scusthov:

Bledsoe is not a starting NBA PG from a BBIQ standpoint. If LAC loses CP3, they might need to look at getting a SG who can run an offense or getting a SF who has PG skills. What ya'll think about O.J. Mayo. on LAC if CP3 leaves.

If we could trade him for a good pg then trade him. Otherwise he can start and lance can come off the bench or vice versa. Granger will play well with the team regardless of being a starter or not.

Nonetheless, we really need someone who can handle the rock.

George is the number 1/2 option (depending on how Hibbert plays) but Stevenson :snoop:...dude needs to come off the bench breh.

Stephenson is garbage, looks like a crackhead out there, never knows where to go makes horrible turnovers
