It's ok, he's shooting 41% from the field and 35% from 3 :-)

He's also a crap defender, but damnit, he is one of the better players in the league by all means!

2k increased J.R. Smith's stamina to 98...his consistency received +15 even though he's pretty horrible in terms of his shooting percentages. Ridiculous...

I know Knicks stans wil disagree, but Hayward is actually not worse than Smith if you look at his contributions. The only advantage of J.R is rebounding, but Hayward is more efficient offensively, at least equal in terms of passing and fouls not as much.
Smith takes 15 shots per game to give you 17.5 ppg, Hayward only need 10 shots for 14.5 ppg.

Now I'm not sure about defense, so to people who watch the Jazz more often than I do...how good is Hayward defensively?

& look at a guy like Jamal Crawford who is neck & neck with JR for 6th man of the yr. He didnt get raised (fine were he is) but shoots the ball at a much better %.

[JazzMan]

JR Smith, the guy who can't shoot in the same place twice, and also got dunked on by MIKE MILLER of all people, has received UNNEEDED upgrades.

This is stupid.

[LoSoisNiCEx414]

Shumpert should have went down not up (81) im no roster god by any means but he clearly isnt the same player as last yr.

[regGQ]

The 6th man race isn't neck and neck at all.

JR leads Crawford in points/assists/rebounds/PER and every other stat

Crawford's FG% is higher only because his usage is a lot less, JR is our no. 2 scoring option and NY leans on him a lot.

He's a lock for the award at this point.

Last 10 games JR is averaging 23/6 on 46% including three 30+ point games and he's actually a damn good perimeter defender averaging a steal a game.
