I really like Forrest but every game there is a play when he gets the ball and is wide open from three and is scared to do anything.
Man i wish he could shoot

Did you mean Royce ?

No. Royce is a great shooter. I think he has the best three point percentage on the team. Forrest probably has the worst 3 point percentage.

No, every game the ball gets swung around to him in the corner and he can’t pull the trigger. These are shots Royce never passes up unless there’s someone to the right or left of him even more wide open.

Juancho has the best three point percentage on the team. Followed by House.

I know exactly what you are talking about. And I wish he’d take that shot. Only way he will gain confidence and improve his shot.

Small sample sizes though.

Not for Juancho.

Have you looked at his stats and minutes and games played over the last two or three years?

 

[LogGrad98]

Conley just seems...... Off. And he seems to have gotten even shorter or something

Are they hiding a hammy from us?

 

[LogGrad98]

Lmao at attributing that to Crowder. It's Paul and Ayton that took that team from bad to great. The wings are a bonus and he's the worst one of the main 3.

Booker buying into playing D was huge. Almost to the point of yuge.

Bridges and Johnson both getting good were monstrous. The team just came together nicely, but yeah Booker deciding to go from a good stats bad team guy into a winning player is enormous.

Its why I wish we would have been giving his minutes to Butler from day 1 but Forrest has played better in other areas that have justified it I guess. But you are right... and its not just that he passes up the three its that it results in a drive to nowhere and a bad shot up against the shot clock or a turnover.

For people shooting anywhere as close to as high as a percentage as him, he by far has the most volume, bar none.

For as much as we can bash the inconsistent offensive player that he is, we have desperately missed having Crowder the last two poatseasons.

It didn't have to be a Conley or Crowder conversation. Our front office should have found a way to include Favors instead of Crowder for Conley. Instead, we just traded Favors for a 2nd rounder to NOLA.

Crowder isn't perfect, but he's a tone setter. You put him and Chris Paul on a roster, and you take perennial loser Booker to the best record in the NBA.

C'mon, I like Jae for his attitude but he is not some big factor in Suns' success. If he was injured but CP3 played you wouldn't even notice. If they swap him for Royce everyone on the forum would be salivating to have him on Jazz.

 

[Isaiah 1:13]

House over Royce to close out the game. Riding Clarkson’s hot hand into crunch time. Maybe people can change!

Oh and I almost let this one slide, but he actually used a ten man rotation instead of his security blanket nine for a change. Is that preferable, I'm not saying that necessarily unless it's keeping key players fresher or finding better counters. My point had more to do with changing habits and being more adventurous and maybe finding a purpose for every tool in that swiss army knife team he's got.

I do miss Crowder's toughness but nothing else. He is not worth what it would have taken to keep him and I am glad we moved on.
