The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Night

[Vincent Van Goat]

They ran him in every lineup. SG SF PF

Barnes had his huge slump and OG slid in at PF when needed too also. That team struggled all year with inconsistencies.

He’s not as good offensively as he thinks.

Ok but you’re still ignoring the fact that the rest of the starting lineup played most of the season

Bless fvv and siakam but they are known for tunnel vision with their shot selection

Og may not be mikal bridges offensively but you’re not really proving how he already had that opportunity to be a focal point. And not even saying he should be but yeah…

 

[Nike Jordan]

Crazy to me that they have an all-day FM sports station.

I thought all major metros had all day sports talk FM stations? Those stations are the places for the truly unhinged, alotta comedy n characters

A lot of sports stations have moved strickly to FM or have a FM simulcast now.

No team would ever make him the focal point. Hes not better than those guys. Look at the games FVV Siakam Barnes missed. OG didn’t play any better.

He’s been the same player the last 3 years regardless of who is on the team.

Wow Malika is really a bia bia

 

[frshstunna]

I think Vincent Van Goat is saying OG hasn’t had a real chance to show if he’s better than those guys or not …N that’s why he wants out

 

[ballinsam23]

I get it. I’m saying he’s been the same player and if he was actually was that good he’d show flashes over the years.

Hes a great defender, thats a stiff offensively, and can hit the 3 ball.

That’s not someone you build around. No team will give him that opportunity.

He's not particularly good creating his own or creating (although he's improved some a a creator) There's some underlying numbers that really support this. His isolation numbers have historically ranked toward the bottom of the league. He's definitely more of a play finisher. He's a damn good one though.

OG has no handles and is also slightly butter fingers.

He is who he is at this point. Maybe he could hit a few more corner 3s, that’s it.

 

[aepps20]

The guy reporting this sounds like he has an agenda when he kept saying "diversity requirements". I am Anti Malika and Pro Rachel but this guy seems like he attends alt right rallies.

nice little tribute to the og

Nobody said build around him tho, I don’t even know if OG thinks a team should be catered to him

By the reports he just wants a bigger role

Same thing grant wanted for instance. Slightly delusional but again I’d take OG at the same number as any of those maligned guards like herro Poole Simons etc no problem

He's terrible in isolation. His role is his role anywhere except on a team who's truly bad and allows him to do whatever. To be clear, Grant is only afforded those opportunities on bad teams. If he wants that, then sure.

I just checked where he was at again and right among the bottom this year. In 21-22 he was the worst in isolation.

I would 1000% take OG over those guys assuming he's playing a role.

Again there’s nothing wrong with being slightly delusional and also wanting a bigger role

I’m just pushing back on the idea that the raptors were a squad where OG could just get the lion share of the offense

He is a winning player, hope he ends up with the right fit

 

[Moheezy]

Yeah we all know that wasn't reality though lol. Morey full on trolling with that nonsense.

Exactly.

I get it. He's provided a large sample size at this point of what he is as well though. IMO.

I'd love it if he went to a contender and 100% fully bought in to his strengths. He's an absolute 3 and D menace when he's playing the right way.
