Skins199021 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 7 hours ago, stevemcqueen1 said: He's a combo forward, same as Jeff Green and Mike Scott. He plays the vast majority of his minutes at PF, including this season, where 88% of them have been at the 4. Good numbers for a rotation player at his position and role would be at least a 110+ ORtg, which would put him in or near the top 50 for forwards. 105 is an absolute minimum level for being rotation caliber. 101 is crap, and demonstrates his inefficiency. He's a chucker and a turnover machine when all you want from bench forwards is someone who will catch the ball and hit jumpers and finish cuts and pick and rolls and keep the ball flowing when he doesn't have a shot. Wall is a Chucker. 49% FG for his career isn't in efficiency, neither his is 54.5% shooting percentage with us. Nobody is a chucker near or above 50% shooting, they are just efficient. Wall shooting 18+ time a game at 42% is a chucker and inefficient Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdcskins Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I wanna see them bring back Portis and Parker if possible. They both contribute consistently period. Better than any other trash heap players we can find. Both are young too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Really big game here, don't think we overcome losing it if we actually wanted to sneak into the playoffs and make that miami game mean something.

We need to switch jerseys with Wade after he walks away with another win? We look patheticly unprepared for this game, is Jay Gruden coaching?

CRobi21 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 (edited) Yikes... Beal just went parallel while in the air. Drove the lane and was met by Valencuinas. Luckily got back up. Was a hard fall.

Who am I kinding, Brooks doesn't think, otherwise we aren't having this conversation. If he was a Windows 98 computer he'd be bootlooping. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I mean if we were like a top 3 or 4 seed, sure run Beal to the ground. But we're not making the playoffs. Just stop with the charade. Shut his ass down. God how I loathe the idiocy and inability to critically think that plagues half the franchises in this town. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonArtest15 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 (edited) I got back/forth on Jabari Parker. Wizards haven't had a legit 3rd guy who can create off the dribble in the Wall/Beal era. He's got a ton of warts, but the upside is clearly there since he's only 23. Why can't he be a reclamation project like Caron Butler? Offensively, at times, he reminds me of Carmelo Anthony.

If its only about dollars, then that gives us an advantage if he wants to win something, he might be willing to lose out on that additional money. Hard to turn down 8 figures of extra income, but Ant Davis just did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't trust Parker either, btw, but I can see why some people would like to keep him. I've lost count the number of times he's under the basket and just dunks it, and I think my appreciation for that comes from how many big men we've had lately that can't or wouldn't do that.

Hard to turn down 8 figures of extra income, but Ant Davis just did. As much as I want to give Wall credit for coming back, the counter-argument I've gotten has always been you don't leave that kinda money on the table when you've had an injury history. Beal has gotten much better lately, but I remember when he first got here and we are absolutely running him into the ground the same way we just did Wall.

They're not going to let Otto as a pure salary dump. They will want to claim they picked up a good young player. Parker is playing in a way that makes it attractive, until it isn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Neither Parker nor Portis are worth keeping. This team's defense is atrocious. They can't afford to keep filling up the front court with god awful defenders. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I like Portis. I think their defense would be a lot better if the team had two centers and a coach that did a better job with team defense. The Wizards have been consistently bad on defense since Brooks showed up and playing Green (and now Portis) at center most of every game isn't helping. Parker is an excellent option off the bench. If he accepted a contract that made sense for that role, I don't think he's a bad fit. He's never going to be even an average defender but he is a gunner and there's room for that on every teams bench. Neither of these guys should make star money though. They're role players. If the Wizards didn't waste so much cap space and had a larger group of young players there might be room for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
