Rondo, Lawson are 100% better, not even a competition. Conley is a better shooter, passer, and defender than Jrue

Lillard is slightly better, but he is clearly the worst of my 12

Not even a competition?  Stop saying stuff for shock factor, those guys are all in the same area code.
 
Jrue Holiday is a better shooter than Mike Conley.  Last season Jrue shot 59% at the rim, Conley shot 55%.  Jrue shot 42% from midrange, Conley shot 43%.  Jrue shot 37% from three, Conley shot 35%.  Jump shots in general, Jrue shot .423% and Conley shot .420%.  The season before that Jrue shot 39% and Conley shot 36% on jump shots.  Passing in general is hard to judge, but Jrue (with less talent) had a better weighted assist score (assists + assists leading to 3 pts), had a significantly better assist rate (36.5 to 29.5), assisted on more layups and dunks, and assisted on more 3's.  Yall make a huge deal about turnovers, but more of Conleys possessions ended in turnovers than Jrue's (13.29% to 12.76%) and that came with Jrue having a usage rate of nearly 27 while Conley had just 21.  Conley is a better defender, but Jrue is a damn good defender in his own right.
 
Lillard, well lets just say he plays less on ball and off ball defense than Steve Nash which is a minor miracle.  Give me the two way player who is good on both ends rather than the one way player.

Kind of hard to judge Conley's passing using assists, especially weighted assists, considering the best 3 point shooters he played with last year were Pondexter and Ellington for half the season lol.

Brooklyn tho


The Heat have a really tough matchup against these guys

C Lopez
PF Garnett
SF Kirilenko (because old man Paul can't guard him anymore)
SG Johnson
PG Williams
6th Pierce, JET

The combo of Lopez+KG will kill the Heat. Remember what Hibb and West did to them? Both BKN boys are better scorers than those two. the Heat would have to put LBJ on Garnett, and when KG tires him out AK47 stops him on D. The Heat would have to rely on DWade carrying the team, and I'm not sure he can do that versus a team with 3-5 legitimate scoring options

 
Ah, I don't know about AK starting over Pierce... unless that is really the lineup and rotation? The Nets might look good on paper but all of them haven't played one game yet together. Who knows how they will do?
 
Also, the fact that Jason Kidd is the coach of the Nets with no experience of coaching. I can't wait to see how things go between these two teams.

Aside from Dorrell Wright the 6ers didn't really have anyone either, so it evens out.

Thought about that literally right after I posted lol

Media already asking Kevin Durant about free agency in '16, this is sad.
 
Russel Westbrook and Kevin Love to team up with the Lakers? This is madness by Jalen Rose.

That's awful news. You didn't want him to waste his one made three in the preseason!
