He "held them back" because he happened to be off in the playoffs. There's a lot of times he needed to shoot a lot on that team. If Lawson is on the bench there isn't much playmaking on the floor, and there aren't many guys on that second unit who are going to create their own shot.

He's basically Michael Beasley, who is an insanely flawed player who still serves a purpose.

You can have Eduardo Najera 2.0 in Ayon, I'll take Harrington.

Beasley is also awful, but alright then. And Ayon is a better scorer, passer, rebounder, defender, more athletic, and taller/bigger than Najera. Good comparison though.

Beasley makes less money and is only 22, he might improve while Harrington will only decline from this point

:)

Brodeur · 10-26-2012, 12:22 AM

He sucks at defense, he doesn't pass, and he shoots a ton of jumpers (which he isn't that good at) and barely posts up. Next.

yo123 · 10-26-2012, 12:23 AM

Najera has had 4-5 seasons where he produced exactly the same thing Ayon did last year, except with somewhat of a threat of an outside shot at times. And it's not like Ayon has much of a ceiling past this.

I don't even dislike Ayon, you're just really overrating him here.

yo123 · 10-26-2012, 12:25 AM

Also, Michael Beasley still being 22 just totally ****** with my mind.

Ayon can be a great defender, Najera never was.

I lied he is 23 but still

He sucks fenikz, time to realize it. It's part of why Minnesota is going to make the playoffs this year, AK-47 >>>>>>>>>>>> Beasley and Wes Johnson (why do you have BOTH?!!).

fenikz · 10-26-2012, 12:46 AM

so we could dump Warrick's contract on the Hornets for an expiring

plus he is a preseason superstar!

yo123 · 10-26-2012, 01:07 AM

Hahah oh Wesley Johnson. I defended picking him over Boogie Cousins and looking back I can't figure out why.

Brodeur · 10-26-2012, 01:11 AM

(Peko > Cousins).

yo123 · 10-26-2012, 01:22 AM

Regardless of your feelings on the two, one of them could have been moved for something valuable by now.

pierce2walker · 10-26-2012, 02:01 AM

A Pek, DMC, Love big man rotation would have been so tits

Jonas is not impressed.

Andre Drummond is putting up some serious numbers this preseason. Another 13/10/2 blocks in 19 minutes tonight.

And Anthony Davis looks ******* fantastic tonight.

He'll play about 8 minutes a night for half the season because this regime is stupid.

yo123 · 10-26-2012, 09:21 PM

Who are they going to play over him? Jason Maxiell? No one is that stupid.

He will. And Jerebko/Singler are both better than Prince, but Prince will start because he's the veteran leader with the contract. Whatever, same thing happened when Karl benched Faried for the first half of last year to play Al Harrington.

mqtirishfan · 10-26-2012, 09:23 PM

Wiggins reclassifies. Fans of currently ****** teams should hope to suck for two more years.

yo123 · 10-26-2012, 09:57 PM

I don't care that it's a meaningless game, Byron Mullens took 25 shots tonight and I can't stop laughing.

WMD · 10-26-2012, 09:58 PM

Drummond doesn't look to be as raw as everyone said he was. He's also faster than I expected. I remember reading about how he's got very good speed, but it's just weird seeing someone his size get up the court that quick. I've also noticed he has good body control.. He seems to be pretty good at being able to adjust in the air to avoid a defender (37 seconds into the video)
