Pistons sign Flip Murray (old thread)

that might be a reflection of his streakiness. when he's on, hes not a bad player. if hes off, hes death to his team. mark my words: death to his team.

Seriously?

That's ridiculous.

Yep, he was 8 of 48.

Damon Jones was 7 minutes away from the NBA Finals 2 seasons ago as a starting PG. Does that sound better?

Wesley played 3 seasons out of 13 in Boston. Keep swinging and you are bound to hit something.

Why not? You were trying to sell a 41% shooter as a paint finisher, within 10 feet of the basket.

wait, how is that possible?

he averaged 36 minutes a game. if, in less than 30, he averaged 16.7% how does his overall FG jump to 40%+ in 6 more minutes a game.

unless, his sample size of less than 30 min a game is very small.....

Yeah, something tells me that's not the whole story.

what numbers are you using?

just glancing at his season stats, shows you're way off:

A whole 8 for 48.

Wow. Nice sample size.

Apparantly it's just from the Cavs.

alright, i did the actual calculations (not sure where 8/48 came from):

in less than 30 minutes a game last season (41 out of 76 games):

129 FGM / 329 FGA: 39% FG

Look dude, you can defend him all you want. I've seen him play at every stop he's been at and he sucks. Period. He is a detriment to the team more than he is a positive. He just chucks up a bunch of shots off the dribble. He can slash, but he's not a high percentage slasher (the entire point of it). And there is no way it works in limited minutes.

What about like 10-15 minutes? I wish I could find some of the older ones to see what it was like a few years ago. He got too many minutes with the Cavs last year consistantly to judge.
