And just because someone will no doubt take the bait...

Flip wasn't even hitting 60% of this FT's? That's pathetic
I think the bigger concern is that the WTF-proclaimed "iso chucker" Flip Murray is averaging more assists per 48 than our future PG in training.Quote:

Comparing stats for a 13 game rook is not relevant... especially a PG learning the pro game coming off an injury.
I somewhat agree, but if we are assessing him "to date" as the thread title implies, and if we are comparing apples to apples, as a per 48 min stat does, that's about all we have to work with.Quote:

His 19.3 FGA per 48 minutes are still second highest on the team (to Rip's 20.8.....to put this in perspective chauncey is at 16.2 and stuckey is at 14.9).
Hayes (18.1), Rasheed (17.4), are higher than Stuckey. Tayshaun "I don't shoot" prince is even higher at 16.3. Walter Hermann is at 15.5 for christ's sake!)
Flip Murray got assists because he always had the ball and would only pass as a last resort to a guy that was forced to shoot with the shot clock running down.
All you have to do is watch these games and you'll realize that stuckey isn't nearly the unselfish, untalented, waste of a professional basketball roster spot that Flip Murray is.
Yes, Stuckey's percentages are low (so are flips!) but he's a rookie that's learning to play the most challenging position to play in the NBA, a position he's never played in his basketball past (he's only been a shooting guard) while trying to overcome an injury. Tough task.
If Stuckey is still playing this bad at age 28 in his 6th NBA season then I'll conclude that he's the same player as Ronald Murray (which is god awful)
All Flip Murray accomplishes for me is to further prove my theory that all men named Flip are really dumb humans.
