Game Log for John Salmons

[Sac4cwebb]

http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/3624/gamelog

It looks like Salmons has the POTENTIAL to get 15-20 points, 7-10 assists, and a couple of steals a game, and the ability to get to the line. It also looks like he is prone to turnovers. Should play the same role as Francisco and leave the Kings with the ability to put two big guards on the floor at one time.

I am sorry we lost Bonzi, but dissapointed that he was not willing to take a bit less to stay with the Kings. In his contract negotiations, he demonstated that the money alone is what he was looking for and his extraordinary play last year may have been the result of playing for a new contract. With the money in the bank, he might have lost his motivation.

HUH, maybe he could get those numbers playing 48 minutes a night starting instead of mike bibby, and then when mike comes in, salmons could slide over to the 2 guard. YES i never thought about that.

 

[Kings113]

I'm not expecting him to put up huge numbers, but be a versatile, athletic wing who can do some of everything off the bench. I'd say fits in nicely on defense.

I need to put some text in order for this to be a long enough message, but just .

 

[ezekielbear]

Those numbers are crazy...

More like 8, 2.5, and 1

 

[Kev.in]

He has the potential to put those numbers up regularly in a summer league. In the NBA and on this team, which is what we signed him for, he's more like 7-10ppg and 2-4apg and that's the best case scenario.

Take this for what it is worth, but I thought it might be interesting to see what Salmon's numbers were when the ultimate ball hog Iverson was out of the game. Below are Salmon's stats in the 10 games that Iverson DNP:

Ave. Minutes - 38
Shooting % - .437 (52-119)
3pt % - .308 (4-13)
FT % - .884 (38-43 and 4.3 trips to the line per game ave.)
Rebound Ave. - 4.7
Assist Ave. - 5.8
PPG Ave. - 14.6

Kinda gives you a new perspective, doesn't it?

precisely.

 

[moradi420]

coming off the bench hell average more like .7 steals, 2-3 assists and maybe 7 points hes not gonna get enough time to score a ton, nor will he be a primary option when in the game, and he's not gonna have enough time to record an entire steal every game coming off the bench, more like .7 .

Its encouraging but proves nothing. He could just end up sucking up the court.

WHen iverson isn't playing the sixers have no primary scoring option, in fact until they got c-webb they had no real scoring threats other than iverson, so those numbers kinda mean nothing when he comes to the kings hes gonna be playing with guys who are much better offensively then the sixers players he wont get as many touches or shots and he wont start.

Take Mike James for instance, ok in houston with all star t-mac and yao and hes alright, but when he goes to toronto with almost no offensive threats hes able to shine. not cause hes great but cause someone has to score

 

[kingsfan916]

i expect 9ppg 3rpg and 3apg

 

[hammystyle]

I could live with that^^

Wow, tough crowd.

What exactly did Salmons need to do in Philly to have changed your minds, given the circumstances there?

Looks like the answer is "nothing".

 

[moradi420]

its nothing aganst him personally, but this thread was started by someone tlaking about 15-20pts, 7-10ast from salmons, i mean if thats the case then why dont we give up mike bibby since we got sucha great og. we could now trade mike for marcus camby and have a heck of a front court.
Actually maybe not.

For me to really be thrilled by salmons it would be becuase he posted solid numebrs as a backup, you're telling me you dont get enough minutes behind kyle korver, and matt barnes, and he got the excess minutes from andre iguodala. Hes gonna get less minutes with us and people are talking about him upping his production. 9 pts is irridiculous imo, kenny hardly got 9 points, unless we get into injury problems id be surprised to see john average 7 pts at the most anything above 5pts will be terrific. he wasnt brought in for his scoring.

 

[1kingzfan]

I think he was brought in to be the backup point guard, and it appears that he can be productive in the proper setting.

I have no real expectations about Salmons' statistical output, and then again, I'm not sure it really matters for him to play his role effectively.

Should play the same role as Francisco and leave the Kings with the ability to put two big guards on the floor at one time.

If you mean he has the potential to collect 20 points in one game, and 10 assists a few months later in another, and a couple steals hear and there, then maybe, just maybe. If he somehow managed 20 points, 10 assists, and 2 steals in one game, then that would be absolutely fantastic. If you mean you think he has the potential to average 20, 10, and 2...well then you're smoking the good stuff. Puff puff pass brother.

 

[sdballer]

i cant wait until petrie makes a good move so we can see how different this forum will be.

Exactly.

I am sorry we lost Bonzi, but dissapointed that he was not willing to take a bit less to stay with the Kings. In his contract negotiations, he demonstated that the money alone is what he was looking for and his extraordinary play last year may have been the result of playing for a new contract. With the money in the bank, he might have lost his motivation.

Yeah, so much for wanting to play for a winner. Enjoy your money Bonzi.

 

[Sac4cwebb]

He scored 15-20 points in 8 games, 7-12 assists in 3 games, and 2-5 steals in 18 games. He has the POTENTIAL to get those numbers. He won't start and he won't average anywhere near those stats. However, he is young and has improved each year. Phoenix and Toronto were both trying to sign Salmons, and Phoenix has a knack for picking undervalued players.

And since they lost 7 of those 10 games, the perspective is that he (like almost every player on an NBA roster) can put up some decent stats on a hopeless losing team if you give him the minutes.

 

[Kev.in]

Wait until he signs somewhere before you say that. Almost half the league is better than the Kings are right now so he could throw a dart at a board of team names and end with a team that'll win more than the Kings.

Like I said ... tough crowd.

Just for the record, I heard there were 4 other players on the floor with him at all times in those games.

 

[Kev.in]

and I'm not impressed with their stats in those losses either.

 

[RaY Z]

im just wondering can john salmons play defense?

 

[RaY Z]

ohhh yeah im kinda excited about kevin martin getting the starting job for next season...

really really looking foward to his performance next season.. and i don't know at most i hope he has a big time breakout year...

 

[bibbinator]

GMs can have the inside scoop on guys like Salmons.

Playing behind AI could stunt anyone's numbers, no matter how good they are.

I wonder if GP asked Webber about Salmons?

 

[KingsFan93]

Those numbers are crazy...

More like 8, 2.5, and 1

add turnovers please

 

[Viking]

im just wondering can john salmons play defense?

he's not normally a great defender nor a stand-out athlete.

his effort is, as brick said, "all over the place" and since i'm of the school of thought that most defense boils down to effort then he could improve there.

He's not a great player at all in any area though.

 

[ezekielbear]

add turnovers please

I would, but, the keyboard doesn't have a number that goes that high
