Many people on the forum giving me heat for calling out Kemba Walker on his regression. Now its time to put Michael Kidd-Gilchrist on the hot seat in my new series I will be titling Point em' out. In this series I will be, in lil waynes words, "callin n*****s out, like the umpire"
Lets go with Michael Kidd-Gilchrist

Just like Kemba he is having a regression in some stats this year
Rebounds (5.8 to 5.3) Assist (1.5 to 0.7) Steal ( .7 to .6) Block (.9 to .6) 3ptFG% ( 22% to 0%) TO (1.3 to .7)

Some Metric Stats as well:
Player Efficiency Rating (League average is 15.0) : his PER is down from 14 last yr to 11.7 this yr.
Turnover percentage (11.7 to 17.2)


It goes on and on but I am doing this post from phone and has already taken 45 minutes to gather stats but the fact of the matter is, MKG isn't cutting it and has not proven to be worthy of his #2 pick. His numbers do not match up to the average starting SF in the league and although this Charlotte team has a decent record this year, they are only winning due to the fact that other teams are tanking so they are getting wins they normally shouldnt. Dont get yourselves this team is a good team because it is far from that right now. We need 1-2 more drafts before we DESERVE a 5-6th seed in the east

Everyone knew he was going to be a multi-year offensive project. Meanwhile, he is playing as good of defense as anyone in the league on the top SF's- Lebron, Paul George, Carmelo, and Rudy Gay.

Again, I think you're calling out the wrong guys. Who's next...Zeller?

Im probably going to call out everyone. #umpire

His defense is better than last year and he also has probably made double the amount of jumpshots this year then he did all of last season. I'd say for a multi year project that's pretty good. He's freaking 20 years old.

Also every players stats will go down with a player like Big Al. The team as a whole though should be better and as the record shows right now we are.

we are winning in a league which is purposely losing. Dont let that record fool you.

      Major Concerns with this team…with numbers

      By Stumpy · Posted

      The good news is that we are pretty uniquely well established to address all of our needs this season. We have $14m real cap space, and something like $40m in trade deadline cap space. Not sure exactly how that works out. But, we have the room to absorb any bad contracts. With recent rule changes regarding retention, that went into effect this season, we now have a huge advantage in the trade market.  On top of that, while we do have obvious needs, we also have a glut of talent in certain areas that we struggle to find ice time for. We are over-stocked on scrappy talented lil-guys, strong defensively sound 3rd liners and shutdown left shot dmen. Whether it's a package or separate deals, idk. But, one of each from Stank/Blake/Nads, Erob/Carrier/KK/Jank, and Walker/Nystrom; throw in some 1st round picks (and frankly any other prospects they want) and we should be able to come out with a 1b to pair with Bussi and either a 2c with size or a 2c and size.   TL/DR We got the money, you got the stuff?

      I don’t  think 6’4 was ever considered small or undersized. Baby hands tho, yes that was his thing That’s an interesting idea, like an optical illusion? Sounds like you have personal experience with this!

      in the 25' draft the Carolina Panthers had hired Brandt Tillis someone who actually understood how to build a successful team & build through the draft .  this team was yes mismanaged for years prior to Brandt Tillis joining the team in 25' & rarely done anything right in the draft outside occaionaly getting lucky on an UDFA such as Jalen Coker who's dad coincidentally happened to be a huge Carolina Panthers fan, hint hint  ...just saying
