i WILL be surprised to see those numbers. his assists will go up do doubt but scoring is still iffy at best.

Felton is stronger, faster, more consistent, better Court Vision and he fits our push the ball style of play. We desperately needed to sure up the PG situation and there wasn't anyone better we could've gotten. He's just below the top tier of PG's and has a great pedigree and talent. What's not to like about his being here?

Yeah, that.

The man makes more TO's than BRANDON JENNINGS who most here HATED.

Felton
2009 - 2010 had 2.1 turnovers/game and 5.6 assists; assist/turnover ratio of 2.65 ranked 17th in the NBA last year.
career 2.6turnovers/game and 6.5 assists; asst/TO = 2.5

Jennings
2009 - 2010 had 2.4 turnovers and 5.6 assists asst/TO = 2.35 and he ranked 34th last year.

Not quite. I like Jennings. He is very young but has matured a lot in his 1 year in Europe; worked on his game; and is a very good young player. But Felton, last year turned the ball over less and had a better Assist /TO ratio.

Yea because Larry Brown kept the pace down. I like how you ignore his previous 4 yrs in the league. If you looks at his stats when he is jacking alot of shots his percentages dont look that good. My fear is he will revert to his Pre-Larry Brown stats under D'Antoni.

I think Felton will be solid for us if he stays under control. I dont want him forcing the issue next year. All he needs to do is penetrate and run the offense. If he puts up a solid 15 and 7 I will be thrilled. This talk of 20 and 10 is comical though. Teams already know he likes to drive because he has no jumper.

he has no jumper

I think 15 and 8 assts is realistic.

he has no jumper

I disagree on the "no". He has an inconsistant jump shot but has worked on it. Last year he hit 38.5% from downtown but only had 2 attempts/game. Larry Brown reigned him in. With the team we have we don't want Felton to be the main shooter. He needs to set up the other players and keep the defense honest with his shot. If he shoots 38.5% from 3 pt range, that is a bonus.

I think you essentially agree with me. I dont want Felton jacking 3's because he isn't good at it. If I can get a Chris Duhon who doesnt miss layups, can pentrate, and defends I will be satisfied.

Felton is going to lose assists to guys like Gallo and Randolph who can also make plays.

To say you don't want him jacking up 3's in MDA'S system, is as far fetch as it comes..thats what he wants, thats what he tells he's players to do, 1st avaailable shot, lock, load, and launch.
