Walker Kessler Bench Appreciation Thread

Also shooting 3s in game does not help you become a better 3pt shooter if you can't actually shoot 3s....

It's an embarrassment we let Walker shoot those and it's a huge huge huge huge admittance that Walker is such a a bad offensive player we are desperate enough to let him try that **** because he has nothing else.

Also doesn't help that our best self creator, Sexton, does not work well with Walker on the court. Also doubly doesn't help that our best X factor guy is Dunn, who definitely can't play with Walker.

It's not a fact.... Like just do a modicum of research and don't be a total moron.

People get triggered because it's a stupid thing to say. Lopez was an extremely talented offensive player who nailed his FTs. Walker is an offensive klutz who cant shoot FTs straight.

So you think its not a fact that Lopez was a bad three point shooter early in his career? Show your work. (i should have put 3 point shooter in my post rather than outside as that was what thee posted)
Do you think 0% is a good percentage? If so, why?

The research was right in the post. 5 years of ZERO%. 8 years under 14%.

Not sure why this data triggers you so much. Its kinda strange.

Among all 2-man lineups with at minimum 150 minutes played together, Kessler-Dunn has the highest net rating on the entire team.

The 2-man lineup of Sexton/Kessler has a higher net rating than any 2-man lineup featuring Sexton with another big.

Why are you dying on this stupid hill? Brook did not shoot 3s early in his career because he had self awareness. I think a guy who does not shoot 3s isn't a bad shooter, he just knows what he was good at and stuck to that thing. I'm sure if he attempted 3s early in his career, it would have been a much better result than what Walker is currently regurgitating.

Again, just look at the FT % early in Brooks career and then tell me with a straight face Walker is the better shooter. Put down the opiates

Too bad we traded away the players who made those lineups work. I'm talking about the current team construction

He attempted 3's in those seasons. In one season that he attempted 3's he shot zero percent. In another he shot 14%. Not sure why you are trying to argue that Lopez was a good three point shooter early in his career. I will continue to wait for the proof.
You seem to be saying that Lopez was aware that he, like kessler, sucked at shooting threes and thats why he didn't attempt them. So ya, they both sucked at shooting threes. That was the whole point.

Im not dying on a hill. The evidence shows that they both sucked at threes. its not my opinion. it isn't what i "think". Its just a fact that you seem to agree with but still want to argue against yourself for some strange reason.

If the conversation is limited to current team construction then Kessler is far from the only player with the "We can't compensate for his weaknesses" problem. Hell, without him, the defense is so bad that the team as currently constructed would have to be historically elite to even be competitive most nights.

I agree you cant. It would be like arguing that the sun isn't hot. Not sure why you tried to argue against something that is simply a fact.

That is the reoccurring argument that is completely stupid. If you think Lopez is an example is to why Kessler can become a decent 3 point shooter you are a complete idiot.

Why isn't he an example though?

I get that anyone who thinks differently than you is an idiot but I just don't know why.
