Although I’d take Gmac in a heartbeat because of late game heroics. He could be 1/10 and he’s still hitting that 3 with 5 secs to play to win.

not a ton of difference.. other than 3pt and Fts

It’s not what you do, it’s when you do it.

the issue is when Billy came in as a real pt guard and did this.

Amazingly similar! Maybe Joe's gonna will us to the ACCT title!

 

[DoubleDee]

But has JGIII ever slapped the floor as he enters beast mode? I think not.

 

[Brooky03]

What a rollercoaster Joe’s career would be if he pulled a GMac.

Oh to dream

Joe would have to pull his Onions to pull a GMac.

He and Buddy did in the tourney I thought... or maybe in that ACCT loss to UVA...

It’s amazing how many rebounds Joe gets despite being 6 foot tall with a 3 inch vertical.

WS/40 Career:
GMac: .135
JGIII: .095

WS per first three seasons (JGIII is obviously not done yet this year):
GMAC: 4.3, 4.4, 4.3
JGIII: 2.8, 1.5, 2.6

GMac is the choice, like you said. I think both guys have had to probably compromise efficient shots for volume shooting because of an over-reliance on their individual ways of playing

This isn't to knock JGIII, of course. I just think we need to be careful comparing to GMac (not you rrlbees ).

One note, you'll see GMac's WSs drops his last season when he was having to do a heavy lift. In hindsight, would have probably been better to give DN a bit more, but who knows if he could have handled it.

I have a number of complaints about JGIII, but dude is going to end up with 1600/1700 points, 450+ assists and if he holds, 36% three point shooting on like 800 3PA.

In a different world on a different team construct, Joe prob is more efficient because of the structure, but dude has put in work.

Very similar. Imagine if Girard could finish at the rim in transition. He's 0/career.

He's done much better there in the past few weeks. I posted a while ago, JG's numbers would have looked a lot better playing with Carmelo and Warrick and maybe not as far off from G-Mac as people think. I say that with the knowledge that his shot selection at times have driven me crazy.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Joe would kill it if he played with Melo and Warrick.

 

[cliftonparksufan]

Joe would kill it if he played with Melo and Warrick.

Or with Flynn, MCW or any true PG.

 

[djcon57]

Yep, especially MCW or a taller PG to cover the zone.

 

[atlanticuse]

How many flops do they each have?

How does win share work? Like, if Michael Jordan was on an NBA team that started 4 JV girls from the local high school and they lost every game while he scored 80 points a game, would his win share suffer?

Shooters also know where a ball is going.

Yep... many don't commit to following their shot these days though.

Chris would do well to do it. And then get back quickly if he doesn’t come down with the ball.

He should give 52 a good look going forward...

I picked on Gerry’s vertical once. Got death threats

He actually is really good boxing out for a guard. It's noticeable.
