His offense is a WIP, althought i think his shot is alot better than he gets credit for.
I guess my point is he's better than Dixon, and better in terms of post-season play, yet is sitting. Why is it so hard for Flip to play a player for his defensive ability or realize that's more important?
If Dixon was giving us great production it would be different, but he's not. It's the same argument that applies to Hayes/Hermann. |
based on what post season play?
We may need a little bigger sample size on Dixon than 3 or 4 games. He looked awful good in the first half last night to me...
Afflalo's biggest problems are that he is a rookie and consistency.
He's not fantastic on D, his effort on D is fantastic, and the potential for him to be fantastic is there but he's not even close right now.

yep
Once he learns his opponents tendencies, consistently knocks down open J's, stops trying to 'get his own' on offense, gets a little respect from the Zebra's he can be a valuable role player.
I absolutely HATED (I'm trying to use this word more often) the draft pick at the time but I can now see him panning out and the need for another SG.
