Devonte
-
He must have heard me talking about his field goal percentage today and got angry.
-
Charlotte’s commentators are awesome.
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich that was cool! Thx

Dg, 40 pts🥰
mercy – mercy - - Devonte/Devonte - never thought he would do THIS well. - couldn’t be happier
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich - - Just PURE ICE
-
-
So the night I come to see DG he’s not doing much
️
-
Umm Umm - our boy - - horrible night - - 3-16 from the field and 9 points - it’s ok Devonte - - bring it next time
-
He hasn’t played very well the last 4 games. He has gone 14-63 ( 18%) in those games. It was bound to happen but hopefully he can turn it around.
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich awesome!

Devonte is 2nd in 3’s made (Harden 1st)
Devonte is 2nd in total assists (Lebron 1st)
If he’s not an ALL-STAR they should cancel said game
-
Hopefully Devonte is on the All-Star Reserves list announced Jan 30th
-
@BeddieKU23 I’d put him in the 3 pt contest, and he certainly deserves most improved player, but look at his other stats. Way, way, way down most lists. I love him, but he has a long way to go to be top 30 overall.
You can sort each column, and expand to all 267 or however many qualifiers there are.

If you break it down to Eastern Conference and by his position he’s Top 10 in almost every category.
7th in ppg, 3rd assists per game, 1st in 3’s (both made pg & total makes), 5th in double doubles, Top 10 in rebounds.
I figure he won’t make the All-Star Game, he’s just not popular enough to leap a Lowry or Kemba but he’s definitely played well enough to be in the discussion. Hopefully he does make the 3 pt contest.

@BeddieKU23 There seem to be from 14 to 29 qualifiers in the E Conf for the PG position–it varies based on what is being ranked.
Here are the rankings I just calculated from that ESPN link I included (all based on per game except where %age).
ast…3rd of 29
3 pt fg made…1st of 29
3 pt fg %…8th of 19
reb…9th of 29
stl…12th of 29
fta…7th of 29
ftm…7th of 29
ft%…14th of 18
fga…6th of 29
fgm…11th of 29
fg%…17th of 17
TO…26th of 29
Top 10 is misleading in selecting pgs for All Star slots when the total qualifying in any stat is no more than 29. If we look at top 20% of point guards in the E conference, which would fill 6 positions on the E team (too many anyway, but to allow for injuries and subs), he would have only 2 categories where he is in the top 20% in that category.
And dead last in fg percentage, and bottom 11% in TOs.

Scroll down in the article a little bit to see the part on Devonte.
-
@Woodrow love it!
-
He’s going to get a nice bump in pay soon. Well deserved too.
-
Graham & Svi made the Rising Stars game
-
Graham just hit a late 3 to pretty much seal it vs the Timberwolves has 26 off of 5 for 11 from distance 25 seconds left. He’s been in a bit of a slump hopefully this can get him going a bit.
-
Diallo started alongside Oubre tonight. Both in double figures.
-
Frank Ballin out for the Bucks G-League team
He’s 2nd in PPG (0.1) off the leader at 23.6 a night, 46% FG, 43% from 3, 5 dimes.
He’s a stud
-
Frank with 31 and 5 last night. Still fearless getting to the hoop
-
@BeddieKU23 Still love the guy and wish him all the best. Frank is still my favorite Jayhawk.

He is my favorite Jayhawk as well. Seen a lot of highlights of him recently and he’s still Frank, lightning quick, can’t be guarded when his mind is on attack the rim and his 3 point shot is still really good. If he was 6’1, 6’2 he wouldn’t have a 2 way contract. I really hope either the Bucks or someone brings him up he can play in the NBA

What I would give to go play basketball all over Europe for a cool $500k…
Barcelona, Belgrade, Madrid, Istanbul, Tel Aviv, Athens, Valencia, Milan, Lyon, Berlin, Munich… It could be a lot worse.

https://twitter.com/ms_dkingg/status/1228782347493027841?s=21 Devonte tonight!
-
Devonte with early nerves and ended up with only 18 points in the first round of the 3 point contest. Buddy Hield won the contest on his final shot over Devin Booker.
-
Yea he didn’t even hit the rim on 2 or 3 of his first 5 shots.
-
But he beat Trae young
-
Devonte didn’t shoot very well in the rising stars game either. Maybe because Zion bent the rim?!?
