This season Sully has improved his 3 point percentage and has started to drive more to the hoop.
His shooting percentage is almost within 2 percentage points of last year's abysmal 28% now. Earlier in the year, it looked like it had improved but over time, his shot is almost the same as last year from downtown.
he plays the same role as Boris Diaw but doesn't have the same skill set as Diaw
Agree, Diaw, plays defense too, and is generally not the focal point of the other team's offense.
To fulfil that similar role that Diaw has with the Spurs, Sully has to become a better playmaker when he beats his man off the dribble and help comes
He isn't a bad passer but I would not hold my breath about him beating people off the dribble. Sully is slow. Very slow, other teams often let him shoot, and play off of him because him taking shots is good for the other team.
It's been worst when the game is winding down but when the C's need a basket through the game they do not have that player. I truly believe that could be Sully in the post.
Clutch Statistics indicate otherwise.
http://www.82games.com/1415/14BOS15.HTMHe is so bad at defense that he is liability on offense. In close shots, not in the clutch almost 1 out of 10 of his close shots get blocked and 8% of inside shots overall get blocked. Hence, only takes them 1/3 of the time. I think this goes back to lack of athletic ability to some degree and being 6'7" and some change without shoes.
I think we 'd be best served to get him inside, and let him rebound, which he does well. Let some other guy shoot so we have a second change opportunity here and there.
CBS schemes, I think could work with the right personnel but right now we do not have the shooters to make it work. At Butler he has three players who could all shoot and spread the floor Mack, Howard and, Hayward. We kind of lack shooters or the ones we have are streaky in nature. Butler played smart team basketball and team defense, they had decent athletes across the board, but not great ones. We have too many poor athletes. I would think that CBS is a bright enough guy to change his schemes to his talent. However, I am in the camp that thinks we lack talent and need to add it.
He was wide open, let him shoot it.
He's won games for us with his 3 point shooting.
He has lost far more for us trying to play the hero more than he has won. He was 2 for 10 or worse in the second half, one would think he would realize that and maybe let someone else shoot them and get inside and do something he does passably well like rebound. But no, he shot us into oblivion.
That doesn't even count for his horrible defense, that is a complete liability and career night almost every night for opposing bigs. He loses a lot of games every time he steps on the floor.
And also, we are tanking having Bass out there over Zeller.
Teams continue to destroy us in the pick and roll.
I think that we have won recently, a higher percentage of games, without Zeller in the starting lineup.
What one really has to wonder is why Bass who was doing superb in this game was not in there at the end? Why Slug boy was in there? The answer has to be in the tank.
Sully could shoot the C's into a high lottery pick .....bombing from long range ......that is one tanking strategy
Hopefully, it is a new PF or C and he is gone, your never going to be able to base a team around a guy like this bloke. I'd package him with a pick and move him. His conditioning and weight look worse as the season goes on. But I doubt we could give him away.
It's rather moot, add Dwight and I think they would have won by 15 points or more as he would have had a career night against Sully.
