no but he does shoot better on the move

no, he only makes off-balance shots while leaning away from the basket. i've watched him multiple years.

also, the blazers have already scored more points than i thought they would all series. dang

how do NOP fans feel about the overall Niko Experience

I like the rebounding and consistent effort on defense. Offense when he isn't just launching from distance is pretty good. A little better than expected.

Since the beginning of the year. Only worth playing when he is attacking the rim.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
Pelicans have been creating so many nice looks, I mean even when they were down 8 2 they were just missing some easy ones.

Did he always have those awful tattoos? I hope none of those were decisions he made as an adult.

He isn't really a kind of player that can do that because he is not HoF-great creating with the ball in his hands.

The moments that annoy me most are when good shooters pass up open shots for a pass pass into contested mid ranger. Just shoot the ball.

Jrue is pretty good on defense and Moore isn't bad when he doesn't have a size mismatch (his stats are really bad this year because he was asked to guard SFs for the bulk of the season).

Also, the Blazers have just plain missed some good looks.

No lie, this has been the comparison for Jrue by Pels bloggers the last four years. Their career progressions match relatively well.
