Time for another edition of Point em' out. this time the man at bat is Gerald Henderson. Lets go.

 

This guy is a guy I can not show as much criticism to due to the fact that unlike my past 2 subjects, this guy has improved year after year throughout his career... except this year, that is.

 

His FG% is down (44.7% to 40.6%), Which, in turn has his scoring down (15.5 to 14.8).

Now don't give me the same "Big Al is the offensive centerpiece" argument for this guys production going down, because he is shooting worse this year and scoring less on practically the same amount of shot attempts per game (Last year: 6.4, This year 6.2)

 

He is, like the last two men pointed out, averaging more turnovers this year (1.6 to 1.8) Less steals (1.0 to 0.9) Less Blocks (.5 to .4) Less assists (2.6 to 2.5)

FT% is down (82.4% to 79.2%)

 

The worst stat of all that has gone down, which is the holy grail of stats in the NBA today is his Player Efficiency Rating (League average is 15) is down 16.4 to 13.4

 

Henderson is probably the most consistent player on the team mentioned in my point em out, his numbers have dropped but very very minimally. His PER though, is atrocious and as a starter should be at least league average in my eyes.

Been saying this for a while now. Love him as a person, like him as a player, but dont love him as one. Gerald is not the long term answer in my eyes. He score big at times, but he doesnt "create" or "open" up this offense. He's not a game changer. Gerald doesnt make players around him better, but himself only. As of right now, Matt Carroll is still the best SG to ever played for this franchise.

I like Hendo. He has shown a lot of progress every year. My only problem with him is his game is built around the most inefficient shot in the NBA. MJ and Kobe both made careers off of that shot, but obviously Hendo is not on that level. He has gotten pretty consistent with that midrange fadeaway but still refuses to spot up in the corner or drive to the basket, both of which he has shown he can do pretty well.

Completely agree. Carroll is the real deal.

      Well I should also say another caveat is positional value. You have to be careful violating that. For the scenarios you are describing, those are also things that free agency is for. Free agency should always set up the draft. Improve the roster and then go shopping for things to potentially take your roster up a notch.  Lastly, we are in scenario 2. Our roster is still not good and we have holes at most position groups. We are actually in the "BPA All Day" range.

      I'm very interested in seeing the specifics of these cases. The term "illegal gambling" makes me think this is unrelated to typical sports betting/point shaving and related to something else on the side. That kind of stuff worries me much less than something like we saw with Jontay Porter happening on a larger scale. I absolutely think the feds need to be keeping a much closer eye on this stuff given how much more sports betting is going on these days. I honestly don't care that much if it's a Calvin Ridley situation where a player is betting on league games that he's not playing in; I can see why that isn't allowed, but I don't think that presents a major threat to the integrity of the game on any kind of large scale. IMO, the larger threat to sports in general isn't a large-scale organized crime operation but a bunch of smaller operations or even just individuals who are willing to do what Jontay Porter did. He was a relatively insignificant player in the grand scheme of things, but it's entirely possible we see this type of thing more and more even at the highest levels of sports. If gambling is going to be legalized to the extent that it has been, there needs to be better regulation and a very strong set of rules in place for the sportsbooks, the bettors and for the leagues/teams themselves. I don't get the sense that is the case right now.
