List of all-time NBA rookies to hit at least 4 threes off the bench in 3 straight games:

1. Malik Monk

Every time I see Monk play, I see the highest potential player on the Hornets including Kemba. I thought this even early in the year. It is sad that Monk didn't get a full rookie year. He is the 2nd best scorer we have and never got PT. Highest ceiling we have. Very excited about the future.

Hey, at least he learned how to play Defense, right? LOLZ.

We can't Draft a point guard, because Monk is clearly getting better at that position. We'll have to Draft a SF or PF in the Draft. Which I'm okay with. 

I must say that I have been impressed with Monk at PG. He has shown a lot of promise in that position. I still don't know what would be better, pairing Monk with a tall PG like Shai Gilgeious-Alexander or pairing him with an athletic SF or PF

I'll say this about Monk... his iso game from his time at UK compared to where it currently is, is quite amazing. 

Monk is showing things that people actually knocked him for in the draft. People originally compared him to Jamal Crawford, but he looks like he could become much more than what Crawford is/was.

I'm really excited about Monk and Hernangomez.

poo, bruh. Bacon has showed promise as well. I'm thinking we keep Monk at PG, and let him grow there. He clearly has a chip on his shoulder. Which is promising.

    • So you believe that Levis had a better day throwing deep because one of those was a TDs? Asking for clarity on that as it was already clearly demonstrated that Bryce would've had a TD had Moore not dropped it in the back of the end zone. The entire purpose of their metric is to look at the throw and grade that because the QB has complete control over it. That was made abundantly clear from the video provided prior to that. Nobody is trying to manifest him as a top-10 player. He had performances during his return from benching that measured in the top-10 in different metrics. The issue at play is that because those stats support Bryce's progress (and refutes that his ceiling is his floor), that you and other people that don't care for Bryce being the Panthers' QB are going out of your way to either a) ignore factual data, or b) cast uncertainty on the methodology. There's no actual interest in stats and facts like as you mentioned previously. All of the non-PFF info, like passing yards in a single game, is also not entirely reliant on the QB. That's one of the points that Jimmy has hammered home but y'all continue to try and sidestep: that the ability to throw deep relies more on elements like timing rather than physically having a howitzer for an arm. Yes, arm strength does play a role but let's not be coy: the entire narrative that Bryce is not a capable deep ball thrower is 100% rooted in the same reasoning that folks had for thinking he wouldn't survive an NFL hit... bro is too smol. We have plenty of data (AND film) that show this. Whether or not the people that don't want it to be true stop clinging to what they want to believe instead is up to them.
    • This isn’t a bad deal for the right people. Sure not everyone has that kind of money to burn. But $10k for everything including all travel (that includes a private flight), lodging, meals, tix to the game? Meeting former players? It’s a lot of logistics that if done solo would take a lot of time to coordinate. When I was younger I spent my time to save money, and now I spend my money to save time. 
    • Displays of luxury spending like this are the only thing that will wake up the poor peasants currently shouting at each other. At least, that's my only way to optimistically look at this trash.
