LastDon Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Shelvin Mack is a 2nd round 3rd string point guard.. For him to be guaranteed 20 to 25 minutes a night at shooting guard is disgusting.. He is inconsistent and is a very average player offensively..He is slow and an average outside shooter.. I like Bud's system but his insistence on givin consistent minutes to Mack and Pero is baffling?? We as fans want to see the guys drafted by the organization given fair chances to pan out.. Bud handling of John Jenkins and Adreian Payne has put a sour taste in my mouth.. The Atlanta beat writers arent doin a good job in askin bud quality questions about his rotation.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LastDon Posted December 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Shelvin Pero Thabo Bazemore shouldn't be guaranteed shit they are talented enough to play consistent.. I'm ready to see some other guys play some quality minutes and it's time for the above players to get some dnp's..the bench is being under utilized.. all of these players should jus be ready to play when there name called..no players on the bench should have guaranteed minutes.. .

Admin Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Don this is out of character for you to be complaining after a win, although I do appreciate the refrain from using ALL CAPS as usual. Let's just ride Budz rotation until we lose or really even come close to losing. One thing I'm learning from not watching the games and just watching the gamecast is that we are winning almost every single quarter every single game. That means that #thisshitworks. Just sit back and enjoy the ride until there's something to actually complain about. You also need to consider that Mack is still adjusting to his role of playing off the ball so much. He was either the best or among the best in the NBA in assist to TO ratio last year and I think this is only his what 3rd year in the league? Give him some time. As for Thabo, the guy may be our best defensive player and certainly is off the bench. He needs to play as he causes problems for the other offense. As for Pero, I would love to see his minutes being taken by Payne but as long as we're winning I'm not going to complain. Payne has a long and tremendous career ahead of him. Pero won't be in the league in a couple of years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's two sides of the court and thabo bazemore and Antić all play consistent good defense with thabo playing elite defense. Antić contributes on offense in ways that wont show up on the box score and thabo is alright outside of his dreadful 3 pt shooting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All anyone seems to care about is what's going on regarding offense, we are winning games and on a winning streak because of the much improved defense.

asdogg Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 It's hard to complain when you are winning like we have , however I will . I agree Jenkins , Payne, Muscula should be getting more playing time . I am not saying play them exclusively but they can eat into PT of Kent, Pero, Mack. It was good to see Muscula get PT and produce today. I don't know what JJ has done to be in CMB dog house . We could have used his shooting tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You dont know because you aren't around the team day in and day out like coach bud is. Its quite amusing to see people saying that so and so should be getting minutes over the other. Has Bud not gained your trust yet? He sure has gained mine and I'm going to keep trusting that he knows best when it comes to rotations. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there's got to be some reason. Bud isn't the type to really have a doghouse. He might be trying to keep Mack's value up in case they use him in a trade.

asdogg Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 It seems Net rating for Jenkins is -15 this year and was -7.9 in 2012-2013, where Mack is -3.3 for this year and two years ago. That explains why mack gets PT and JJ doesn't. Same with Pero he is + 13 in Net Rtg this year while Muscala is -2.3. Moose this year has shown a PIE greater than 11, indicating he is better than the average NBA player, so he probably will see more PT soon.

No kidding. Seems during this streak we've routinely kept teams in the 80's...last night 79...crazy consistency on defense...great sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators AHF Posted December 11, 2014 Moderators Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 It seems Net rating for Jenkins is -15 this year and was -7.9 in 2012-2013, where Mack is -3.3 for this year and two years ago.

Jenkins has played a total of 24 minutes over 2 games this season. Are we really going to use the numbers on this? Some people are going to get marginalized in the rotation and our seemingly washing out Jenkins and last year's second round pick seem like good guys for those last spots on the roster. The guy whose lack of playing time frustrates me is Payne. That said, I totally buy into trusting Bud's decisions at this point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asdogg Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 The Net Rtg of -7.9 is from Johns rookie season. This is not ideal but as you rightly said this years sample size is too small and last year he was injured. This is the best NBA data we have on him.

Antić contributes on offense in ways that wont show up on the box score and thabo is alright outside of his dreadful 3 pt shooting. I pointed out in chat that Pero has played much better lately and was questioned like I was a alien. With that said , I still think Moose should have his playing time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LastDon Posted December 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 4ppg 34% from the field 20% from 3 is a f***in joke.. Put that dam man in a suit! He is a second round pick! Other higher picks drafted by the organization deserve a chance!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
