Sure Why not?

Ben Simmons career percentage from 3 is actually higher than noted inventor of the Stretch Four position Bob McAdoo.

Sure if Tacko and Caruso can why not Benny? You're measuring bar as him or for that means anyone being an All Star has been lowered so much it is virtually meaningless

Ben Simmons is shooting 40% from 3 this season

JaVale McGee and Hassan Whiteside are both shooting 66% 3P this season.

We can have one hell of a contest.

Might as well. All Star weekend sucks, as is

We will most definitely not be seeing an appearance from Bob in this thread over the next few days.

Trae had himself a game tonight.

Plays for a team is on pace to win 18 games this year.

Markelle Fultz Starts for a team that already has surpassed that mark.

Markelle Fultz is also better than D'Angelo Russell then?

If only we had numbers like VORP or WS (or WS/48) to help determine which player helped positively contribute more.

Or you could, I don't know, WATCH THE GAMES.

Absolutely bananas for someone to speak more positively of Fultz than Young.

Anyone wants to argue that Young is better right now have at it. Its the same stupid argument that guys had about Towns/Embiid, George/Jimmy Butler, Carmelo when he was out the league etc. I don't do drive by assessments. That is for dudes like you that really don't know much of shit.

Young is playing on a losing ass team that allows him to dominate the ball. It is geared for him to put up stats. His team has the worst point differential in the league. He is the worst defensive player I have ever seen. Fultz has missed two seasons and has had the misfortune of (if you want to call it that) playing on teams that made the playoffs. He wasn't expected to be the franchise guy in either situation. His usage rate is much lower and his team night and night plays in games that are mostly competitive. Young does not. He can go on a tear (and frequently has) with his team down 20-25 solely for the purpose of "getting his numbers" Guys that WATCH and KNOW (Guys unlike you who merely quotes dumbass stats all day) basketball understand this. Guys like you do not.

It is why constantly quoting his numbers and telling the world how great he happens to be is dumb. Great players do not lead their teams to the worst record in the league and contrary to what "No Great Shakes" tells the rather ignorant such as yourself, he has talent on the team. More talent than Washington, the Knicks, and a few others that have better records.

A lot of the losing is due to him and his rather inefficient scoring and shotty ass defense. Guys that watch the games know this. Guys that dick and coattail ride (like you) do not.

Continue to learn the game from No Great Shakes and I will continue to sit back and make you and him look and sound like the idiots that you are.

Have a good one

Well, So was Ben Simmons and essentially Embiid too. By the time Fultz suited up both were established and the team had just come off a 50 win season in which they made it to the first round of the playoffs.

You don't even know when Trae's team will make the playoffs but I am willing to be bet "whatever" that it won't be next season. Care to wager?

Why the psychoanalysis?. Simple yes or no will suffice. What I find around here is that it is an effective way to stop all the chatter and dick riding that goes on.

No as well. The only time I gamble on anything these days happens to be when I feel like winning money from people on here. Although I did win $200 betting against Trae Young just the other day ironically so there is that.

Considering what the East looks like this year and what it will look like next year, I'd say what you're proposing is an investment, not a wager.

There will be no takers

I'm so solid about this guy being a loser that I might even give them a win number bet if they want it.

1. I will concede that Young is the better player for now. I have Fultz to be better by some point next season as long as he doesn't get hurt.

I was wrong about him being a bust and making the All Star team.

So far it hasn't looked good in the analysis of ol Trae. Still don't think he is very good. He has however been placed in a good situation. One of the best in the league for a guy with a 20% winning percentage this season.
