Raymond Felton's poor FG%

[dav7z]

Say what you want...the guy has drive.

Agreeded more DRIVE than any one on the team.
No one wants to talk about DJ giving up 26 fourth qurater points to Bunum a beanch player SCRUB .Or his truble on defence or just guarding any one.
Two buzy staying in Feltons grilll i guess.

Remind me again which one is the starting 3rd year starting PG and which is the rookie?? Shouldn't we be in Feltons grill more? I'll agree DJ's defense was lacking vs. Bynum and alot of other guards but i haven't seen Felton lock down anyone this year either.

If he shoots 44%+ then I can live with that, and we aren't having this conversation.

DJ shoots 43% from the field and 44% from behind the 3pt line.....just thought I'd toss that out there. Guess we"ll have to wait till next year again for Felton to improve his shot.

To me Felton brings the toughness and much more defence. DJ brings much less toughness and defence but adds much more scoring . Has a much better shot. I think both adds with out geting in each others way. Felton at a decent contract only makes the team better the same can be said for DJ.
Though giving Felton over seven milion a year could be a mistake ? I see DJ as a great insurance policy right now.

Something I found a little interesting...if you subtract out the 3 ball attempts/makes from the total in FG% Felton is shooting from 2 at 43.7%. DJ is shooting 42.4%

Felton needs to get a lot better from 3, but ultimately I'd just as soon he concentrate his shot attempts more from inside the 3 line than out. On the flip DJ needs to work more on his midrange game but keep on shooting the long ball.

Felton doesn't have to get better from 3pt, he needs to just stop shooting so many. take a dribble towards the basket and shoot.

[walkerl]

No doubts his heart or drive. That is not debatable. We question his skills. The fact that we can debate wether a rookie or a 4th year guy is better doesn't say much for the 4th year guy. And save the coaching excuses. Coaching does not make you a poor shooter.

I think think after 4 seasons, DJ will be a much better player than Felton, but he his own issues, mainly defense. He is as bad as Ammo on defense.

I don't know if you watch the Panthers, but Felton is like Jake Delhomme, One game they look great, the next they look like the worst player in the league, and its maddening.

[teej]

Felton is better than Jake, because he won't lose the game for you in the first quarter...but other than that you're right. They're both better than most players at their position in the league talent wise, their coaches love them, they have talent behind them waiting to shine, and they both give their best effort every game, it just doesnt always translate into a W.

Better coaching ultimately means better looks and better looks mean a better %.

Ive seen everybody on the team at times get great looks and just plain and simple miss the shots.... Thats the part of our game we need to clean up alomg with the turn overs and FG%......
