Welcome Jordan McLaughlin
- Thread starter Telemachus
- Start date
He's much more effective than Davion. He's going to be way better defensively than Davion. His offense is really inconsistent though.
McLaughlin had a 1.0 VORP last year. For comparison, only Sabonis, Fox and Monk had a VORP over 1.
Davion had a -0.4, which is really bad and last place on the team for the 3rd year in a row.

I swear wasn't Len 2nd in that Defensive Rating stat too? It's an impressive stat and shows a player was pretty valuable in the role they filled.
Surprised at 2 things - 1. Kings got him for just minimum (figured half the league would want him at minimum to be 3rd PG so thinking he chose Sacto over other offers) ... 2. Some posters selling this signing short, sounding like casuals.
Of course he's not a camp invite. He's pretty much the perfect 3rd PG you want to have, kind of like the PG version of Len (though Len is more naturally talented)

Yeah, people weren't familiar with this dude last night, but he's been a guy to keep an eye on for awhile now. He's a quality NBA rotation piece that's coming off his best season last year. And not just a 1 year wonder:
0.3 VORP, .130 WS/48
0.1 VORP, .062 WS/48
0.6 VORP, .123 WS/48
0.2 VORP, .094 WS/48
1.0 VORP, .193 WS/48 (damn!)
Not to mention he's had a positive DBPM every single season of his career. Just solid impact across the board over the course of his 5 seasons as a pro.
The PG market was very very dead this year (Tyus Jones doesn't have a job??), so landing a dude like this on the vet min is gravy.
