Fun stat: Belly is on fire and guess how many 3's per 36 minutes he is taking? Same as last year.
Fair point, monster. But I would argue that his confidence is at a totally different level this year, and I attribute that to getting a way from Thibodeau. I loved Belly as a player in Europe and always thought he could play like that here...if he just had the right coach.
Just as another counterpoint if he is playing so awesome why in the world is the guy only averaging 26mpg?
I think the answer to that one is easy. When you play the same position as the #2 player in the draft and that player looks NBA-ready, you should be grateful for every minute you get. I think it's a credit to Joerger that he is getting contributions from both of his PF's.
