On the plus side he's 5% more accurate than Ben Uzoh...your pal,

His performances this past season pre-injury granted him a top 10 spot. He's not a top-tier point guard yet, and he's not a back-up point guard. I would put him in the second tier of point guards such as Jennings, Curry, Irving, LOWRY, John Wall, Rubio...Twitter: @ReubenJRD • NBA, Raptors writer for Daily Hive Vancouver, Toronto.

I don't care if the Bulls or Heat wanted him, those are teams chock full of superstars and can afford one player on their team that can't shoot. Casey said we need more shooters, so Colangelo goes and gets Lucas, a guy who has never broken 40% shooting in his 4 year NBA career?
On the plus side he's 5% more accurate than Ben Uzoh...
If he is good enough for contenders third string surely he is good enough for the raps, no? That was all I meant.

Jose is just crappy and the sooner he is gone the better. I'm just hoping that they can get out of it without taking an awful player back. Still, a different awful player would have to be better than the one we have.
John Lucas will be a capable backup and the combination of him and Lowry will be a huge upgrade.
I just hope they sign Devoe Joseph as well...

John Lucas and Lowry would be no where near as good as Jose and Lowry, but that is just me (and all stats show that, and popular belief is behind that). But who knows?

Red and White wrote: View PostSee, I think Bayless is a far superior player to John Lucas III. Their weaknesses are the same, but Bayless is a lot better at using his strengths (I think I have said this before in this thread), so I really do not think it would make any sense for BC to release one capable (I wouldn't say "solid") backup guard in Bayless, trade our current backup (Jose), just to take on a PG who is no where near as talented as either of them. I really doubt JLIII is the primary backup, and third string is all that would make sense to me.

Sorry, but his time is up.
