Hard to believe t-Ross pulled off that 50+ pt game last year or w.e. For someone who's so athletic, he doesn't really attack the rim as often as he should. Dude just jacks up jumpers all the time.

Fun fact bout 50pt games: on this day in 2000 Kobe and Jamison both went for 51 vs each other

Jamison's 2nd straight 51pt/13reb game

Combination of strength, coaching, lack of assertiveness and short arms.  He'll occassionally pull something off that makes you go O_O, then next game not have the ball closer than 15 feet from the basket.  Averages 1 FTA per game, and has a historically low FTA in college for a wing also.  Probably the biggest knock against him coming into the league, which he hasn't shedded.
 
Valuable 3+D guy, but in terms of sheer talent, I'd say he's easily more talented than Demar.  Seems content as a role player tho.  Will still get paid eventually but still.

Haven't had a chance to watch much Raps lately, due mostly to work/west coast games.  Disappointed in how they're playing.  I refuse to blame it on the Demar injury, but it's hard to lose a guy who was able to eat up so much usage at even a mediocre rate.
 
I love that Lowry has become so good that his Cleveland statline is considered to be a bad one.  I missed the game though, and understand he struggled in the 4th and was late on drawing a few charges which he almost always gets the call on  With all due respect to Kyrie (I would take him on my team any day as I am a huge fan), I think Lowry has been better to this point.  Then again I am very biased also so there is that to consider also.
 
Lowry is awesome and a great story.  It's like Billups, but he's actually good.

I was kidding about the "actually good" thing.  Billups obviously likely will have a considerably better career than Lowry.  I just always felt he was wildly overrated.
