foye's history at PG

I haven't really seen Foye play the point or I don't recall it. What I have seen is that he can do things: he's quick and can penetrate, and he can shoot. I don't think we brought him to play the point either, but as a guy who can score and hit the 3.

From what I've read, his penetrating ability is similar to CJ Miles.









Waits for it.

Foye can't play point because hit Assist Rate is more similar to Al Jefferson than it is Devin Harris, or any of the Jazz' current PG group.

And yes, Tony Parker, a guard who isn't a point guard, according to one poster in this thread, still has the assist rate of a PG.

that poster didn't say he wasn't a point guard... he said Parker isn't a pure point guard from fantasy land. This is particularly true of the young Parker. My sources tell me that said poster is ready to defend these claims.

Coulda fooled me, or anyone else who reads.





(Not to say I know that the post wasn't just terribly worded. It's just funner this way.)
 
... oh boy, it's Darkwing Shmuck and NBAherd in the same thread! Brandishing their unimpeachable interpretation of statistics! Leaving no babies uneaten!!
 
And C.J. could penetrate when he wanted to; but I can recall Deron guarding him and having difficulty staying in front of him, though as we know Deron has had trouble staying in front of quick players.

Yes. Because the eye test is a much better way, in fact the ONLY way, to evaluate anything. Statistics may SHOW that students achieve in Anthro 101 (or whatever particular classes you instruct), but the eye tests say differently.



(WHERE the HELL am I going with that?)

exactly. and that's all it comes down to, really. foye will help us, but not by playing the point. let's appreciate a guy for what he is, and not assume that he's going to be our goran dragic when history shows he has never succeeded at running an offense that would crack a top-20 efficiency ranking.

So the year he played the most at point, 2009-2010, his God awful Wizards team (4th worst record in the league) was only outscored by 2.2 points per 48. Sounds like he actually helped that squad play better as they were -5.5 per 48 as a team.

Agreeing with Wes kills me inside. But I don't have a choice...
