In trying to figure what guys love about him all I could come up with is this...

He hustles.
He's not Amare.
He's not Bargs.

Not looking for a hate thread... just honestly curious to see how or why people think he can play starter or rotation (24+ minutes) on a winning team. I dont see it. Enlighten me. Or is it just good chemistry so lets see what we have?

I caught this days ago. Not hating what so ever. I just don't think a 6-5 PF with absolutely no background behind him--I mean bench player for the Kings--starts our first 4 games in pre season--and yes it does count. I think it's fcked us up a bit. I understand that there has been an injury to Bargs but I would rather have Melo there if that is the case. Quincy Acy is not a top 9 rotation player in the NBA YET. Lets take for instance Draymond Green---he spot starts BUT he can shoot it and he appears bigger than Acy.

Call me an antagonist--but here are the players we went OUT of our way for

Calderon--ok decent but no D 3 years of salary and 34++
Quincy Acy
Thansis A
Cleanthony E--not a bad prospect at 34 but you can see why he dropped. He cant handle the ball.
Dalembart--9th team??
Smith--injury problems?
Larkin--way to small with no length and his hops dont relate to the game like Nate

I mean we flipped our roster for crp players who look NOTHING like players from the Chicago Bulls.

But back to Acy--hes a 10th 11-12 th man thats it.

I really don't get Acy either, since there were threads talking about how we had an overpopulation problem at PF. I guess that was before Bargs got hurt again and people realized Stat is actually short for StatueOnDefense again.

It's the GM wannabe virus.

Ronnie Brewer 5.0?

and Melo looked comfortable unlike last night. He didn't have room to operate

That's odd because/////

Jordan played with Horace Grant, Longley, Pippen, Kucok, Rodman, Perdue

Mixture on the floor together, big rangy bodies

Kobe played with Gasol, Bynum, Odom

At times all on the floor together

Most certainly at least 2, add in Artest, Radmonovich, Powell

Are we still as a franchise with the

Additions of Phil and Fisher

Tap dancin around Melo's ability to be effective

Isn't this what the triangle is for

Spacing, ball movement, cutting

I don't want Acy starting so Melo can flourish

I want Acy starting if he helps the triangle flourish

And adds other intangibles needed to make this team successful

It's basically comes down to winning, when your winning, flaws get over look.

These boards will have a lot of back and forth this season, a lot of posters flip flopping because we will win some games we should have lost, and lose games we should have won like last night, where the buck had there 2nd unit in for most of the game

Honestly speaking what is the difference between Bucks first unit and second unit?

Not even. At least Ronnie fooled us with a few weeks of hot shooting. I haven't even scene that from Act.

Acy has the Nasty Beard so he wins

Motor, don't forget the motor. It's always cool to have endless motor.

And like knicks1248 points out, Acy's shot chart is just... insane efficient. 1 for 1 on vicious dunk attempts.
