But even more young players completely fizzle out, don't live up to the hype, and are destined to be spot-duty role players forever. The odds of Bayless turning into anything resembling Chauncy Billups (a future hall of famer), are pretty slim.
As for Bayless being our best 3 point shooter? Again I say, who cares? By losing Bayless, is Colangelo incapable of finding other shooters? There are 450 players in the NBA, but we must keep Bayless because he shoots 3's at a 35% clip? C'mon man.

Are you really clinging to the tiny 31-game sample size last season to assume Bayless is one of the league's best marksmen? Haha.

If you disagree with the opinion - so be it and discuss - but please do not make the post personal with such a statement.

What I am telling you to do is stick to basketball-related comments. Nilanka's personal feelings towards Bayless has no bearing on the conversation. Therefore, if you disagree with anything presented - so be it and discuss. Otherwise, say nothing.

These Bayless discussions have been no different than past discussions involving, Bellinelli, Dorsey, Evans, Villaneuva, etc.

NoPropsneeded wrote: View PostActually they are different because Bayless is a young player with tremendous potential. Those 4 cept for maybe Charlie V at one point do not have tremendous potential. We aren't saying its a sure thing that he'll make become an all star but if you compare him to Lin i think he can be better. Bayless and Lin put up similar numbers but they are different types of PG's, you seem to really like past first PG's which Lin more closely resembles, as opposed to Bayless who looks to shoot or score first.
I'll admit that anything is possible surrounding Bayless. But based on what I've seen, I personally don't think he's the type of lead guard capable of leading a team deep into the playoffs.

GOTCHA.... keep in mind he's 23 years old.....i'm sure he can up that 35% career 3-point average..... why are you so hard on Bayless?? Let me guess you would LOVE to have Dragic right? Dragic shot 33.7 percent from 3 point range in 2011-12.....and he's 26 years old....and they put up similar numbers with Dragic playing about 4 mins more per game.....i'm just saying.....why does he get so much respect on here and Jerryd who actually plays on our team gets none?? hmmmm

As for Dragic, I'm torn on him. There's a lot to like in his game, but he hasn't proven himself as an everyday starter, and overpaying for his services may not be Colangelo's best move. I would feel more comfortable with a player like Jennings or Holiday as our PG of the future.
