Ricky is capable of being the starting PG on a playoff team breh... His shooting is his ONLY liability right now.

Not just his shooting breh, his inability to consistently score and pose any kind of threat on offense.

It is literally 4 on 5 when the Wolves are bringing the ball up.

Again, not true. Before the ankle injury he was driving A LOT more than usual. Afterwards he went back to shooting jumpers. He never really was 100%. Ricky was playing some of his best ball before that severe ankle injury.

All right if you say so breh.

This reminds me of something else though. So with the Jones pick up, does this mean that Lavine is back to focusing on being a 2.

Shame yall didn't get Malone.

The Lavine at the 1 experiment is over :blessed: (if no injuries :snoop:)

The man is a 2 guard all day. check this
Vantage tracks a stat called Dribble Factor, which is a measure of the change in a player’s FG% before and after he begins dribbling the basketball. Essentially, it is a relative measure of a player’s ability to catch-and-shoot versus putting the ball on the floor. http://www.vantagesports.com/story/VV5ekyYAAOwJ1jPw/vantage-point--dribble-factor
Lavine is a better shooter spotting up and off the ball than with the ball in his hands. Watching him last year I would have said the opposite though but the numbers say he is MUCH better off the ball. Looks like wiggins will be playing the 2 a lot this year so that means he's coming off the bench.

He still sucked when you compared him to the other NBA PGs,


Conley
Lowry
Curry
Rose
Irving
Lawson
Teague
Schroeder
Dragic
Westbrook
Bledsoe
Paul
Parker
Lillard
Wall


Are all better than him, and you can make a claim that Russell & Mudiay will probably be better as well. The Wolves have to see that he's not a starting level PG on a good team by now, and looking at your roster you're going to need a PG that can hit the 3 at a respectable clip to give Wiggins & Shabazz space and prevent teams from constantly going under the picks that Towns will set for him.
