Antawn Jamison to visit

[Man Strength]

Find me a 7 footer who's better than Hickson and is available. (other than Hibbert)

Hawes

You are grading Jamison as if he is your prototypical run of the mill power forward with a great post up game and a lousy jump shot, when he actually breaks all of the rules of your prototypical power forward.

Jamison shoots the outside shot, and that's about it; but he does it very well (something the Bobcats need)

Those percentages should be judged more like a small forward than anything, because how many power forwards are hitting 34% of their three point shots.

Also, his points are efficient because it helped the team win. You don't look at the score and say "hey he scored 20 points on 14 shots, but they won by 10 points; so only 11 of points were actually efficient," no every point is efficient because it helps the team win.

jamison ranked 284 in the in nba in true shooting percentage last year. 1 spot ahead of biyombo

Kiss my @ss Cho.

wtf ru talking about? you want him to just magically sign durant rondo and wade overnight and become a powerhouse?

[carolina-chuck]

Hawes

I honestly couldn't care any less about what he does since draft night.

If the Cleveland Cavaliers had a clue, they would've drafted Harrison Barnes at #4 and then went after Eric Gordon, instead of drafting Waiters at #4 and then CLUMSILY trying to get Golden State to trade them Barnes and now trying to talk to Brandon Roy.

They're just as stupid as Cho is, apparently.

Irving

Gordon

Barnes

Thompson

Zeller

That would've been some nucleus.

Chris Kaman (stands 7'0 flat)

Spencer Hawes (stand 7'1 flat) (By the way, don't laugh at Hawes, he had two 20 point games in the Chicago-Philly series)

Hawes is a pretty good player, but I'd still take Hickson over Hawes all day.

that true shooting percentage is bad for a player of any position. if you actually knew what it meant you would understand this. it takes into consideration that many of his shots are 3s.

you clearly dont understand efficiency, but are beyond me trying to help explain these things. i get it dude, he is a forward that shoots 3s. the problem is he isnt great at it and thus its not a very good shot for anyone to take

Using efficiency statistics to grade out a player that played on a bad Cleveland Cavaliers team (when they didn't have Irving they were garbage) is a very piss poor argument.

If you want to look at efficiency, look at it from the point of view of how efficient/valuable he was to the Cavs. Jamison was responsible for 18.5% of the Cavs total points.

How can you say a guy that scores nearly a fifth of a teams total points is inefficient?

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Hawes is a pretty good player, but I'd still take Hickson over Hawes all day.

The fact of having a seven footer on the Bobcats roster that doesn't suck really intrigues me though lol.

That stat is a garbage argument for a player like Jamison because all the true shooting percentage takes in account is free throws, three-point goals, and two-point field goals.

Jamison rarely shot the ball in the paint, most of his two-point field goal attempts came from just inside the three point area around the 18 to 20 foot range as where most of Biyombo's shots were two to five foot shots in the paint.

True shooting percentage doesn't take into the account of how difficult the shot is, which is why your argument is flawed.

I rather have Hawes and let Bismack develop into 1 of the better PF in the league.

[Man Strength]

Well shots just inside the 3 point range are the worst in the league, so it does take the value into perspective. Are you his brothger or something?

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

I wish, I'd ask for some of his cash from that absurd contract that the Cavs game him a few years ago.

Apparently the Lakers and Warriors are also interested in Jamison

Yahoo! Sports' Marc Spears said Tuesday to "keep an eye" on the Warriors and unrestricted free agent Antawn Jamison.

Spears is plugged in and aside from starting his career there, Jamison used to be repped by current Warriors GM Bob Myers. The Lakers and Bobcats are interested, too, and unlike the Warriors both of those squads have relatively legitimate cause to seek the 36-year old. The Lakers are contenders and the Bobcats could afford to burn a short-term deal on Jamison knowing they are devoid of bodies that can carry a load. The Warriors are a playoff bubble team with an injury prone roster, and need to continue to look at younger players.

It looks like us and the Warriors both have the same ideas. We both want Hickson and Jamison, hopefully the Cats can at least get one of them.
