That's 12th in the entire league.
Among all players with more than 25% of their plays from the post (the 28 most used post up guys in the league), he has the single highest PPP. He has the second highest FG%. He's middle of the pack in free throw rate and turnover rate. Purely in terms of reliable scoring (guy you can just give it to in the post when you need a bucket), he is best on the list in score frequency.
And that's all among the top 28 post up guys (in terms of their teams using them there) in the entire league.
So, yeah, I'd say he's a great post up player already. And given more reps and an offence designed to get him deeper looks and more passing opportunities, who knows how good he could eventually be?TRex wrote: View PostHe's a great post up player already? you can't be serious? maybe i just have a high standard?
I grew up watching guys like Olajuwon and Ewing and Robinson, Sabonis, Shaq, Duncan. Now those are GREAT post up players. In today's NBA the only post up bigs that impresses me is Cousins and the Gasol brothers. Guys like Howard and Vucevic are pretty good too. But not Cousins good, and definitely not Hakeem or Duncan good. JV is nowhere near as good a post up player as Howard or Vucevic.
Also, there's a big difference between "finishing" and "posting up"Last edited by S.R.; Fri Mar 20, 2015, 05:21 PM."We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi Leonard

Who the fuck is comparing Lowry and DeRozan to Kobe, Stockton, Isiah etc? huh? Some of you here needs to learn how to read(yeah i'm talking to you hotfuzz). Instead of dick riding some of the posters here about post your own opinion?
Anyhow, DanH said that JV is a GREAT low post player already. I ONLY mentioned guys like EWING, OLAJUWON, DUNCAN etc...because those guys IMO are the true definition of a GREAT low post player. Is JV in that level? fuck no. It's not even close."Stay steamy"

Using the all time greats as a comparison to play down jv's game would be as stupid as calling Demar a shit player by comparing him to Kobe. You're the one who brought in all the time greats into the conversation anyways.

If you rank by PER, and qualify for the MP/G leaderboard, and also played in the 3-pt era.
Well, Jonas is ranked amongst HOFers...
