colepenhagen 3,558 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 didnt see a thread continued to be more efficient and increased that fg%, 3pt%, threes, and pts love what he offers and shooting 3 threes on 40% from deep is huge any reason for the decline in steals? just used more energy on off because thats what was needed? would love to see his steals come back up to 1.5-1.7 but cant complain with a 23/3/4/5/1.1/0.5 2 t/o/45%/85% 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Code of Hammurabi 4,375 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I'm slightly worried about what the loss of Batum is going to mean for them and Kemba specifically. On the one hand his usage might increase and his assists might move up a bit to 6.5 or 7 dimes per game. On the other hand, he could end up going back to that 39%/40% shooter from a few years back. That team looks like a wasteland offensively. I'm a little chicken to find out what happens. I have him ranked lower than Pgs like Conley, Lowry. Seems like he carries some risk this year. Gms should be careful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gms should be careful. I respectfully disagree. Especially in punt fg% setting, he is close to a sure thing in my eyes (barring injury of course.) If anything I could see his fg% dropping a little from last year, where he shot so well, but everything else should be consistent, if not improved with Batum out for a bit. I think he is a safe player to draft because you know what he will give you. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gms should be careful. yea some valid points but how much of kembas increased threes/% are attributed to batum compared to kemba getting older and developing better shot selection pre batum he had 3 years of 1.3-1.5 threes on 30%-33% with batum last 2 years 2.2 and 3 threes on 37% and 40% (age 25 and 26 seasons) there is some risk but conley/lowry arent the poster boys of health i think mccollum would be a safer pick with less upside for multiple cat but will come close with the 3's pts and have that elite pg fg% Edited October 11, 2017 by colepenhagen 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If sub 40% Kemba comes back again you are toast in fg% 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I could see the FG % issue for sure, but Batum's timeline is 6-8 weeks so basically 1/4 of the season, not really worth sweating that much. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DrFunkenstein13 63 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Wow, 12 of 13 from the line? And he's doing it regularly. I wasn't expecting free throw shooting like this from him, but it's definitely welcome. I thought I'd have to semi-punt FT% with my team, but instead I've been very competitive, almost entirely thanks to Kemba. He's really learned how to get to the line (averaging 7+ free throws per game, 2 more than his previous career high), and he's shooting around 90% so far (after this game). What a weapon that's become for him, in real life and fantasy. Taking him to a new level of stardom ...well done sir. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dirty Little Birdie 1,141 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Kemba back to locker room. Ran into an Aldridge screen pretty hard. Messed up his left shoulder. Who's the pick up if time is missed? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JooCraig 71 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 How serious is a "shoulder contusion"? They've been off quite a while I didn't expect him to miss the game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They've been off quite a while I didn't expect him to miss the game. a "contusion" is a fancy word for bruise. You know, a little achy muscle and nothing ibuprofen couldn't knock out. These sissy soft era athletes will find any excuse not to play. You wouldn't find this in the 70's and 80's, heck even the 90's. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born_Slippy 103 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Seeing that the Hornets are totally f*cked, should we be worried about Kemba and rest? I'm seriously considering trading now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm seriously considering trading now. Tought about that as well still i see them in the mix for last spot.. They have 6 home games in their next 7 (i guess Miami and Knicks are must win as there are bucks(x2),Raptors and celtics in the mix),and they fare much better at home so its opportunity for Kemba to get hot,i dont think you have to rush trading him its still early and they should remain within striking distance Quote Link to post Share on other sites
