Message: [QUOTE="Dogdeacon, post: 1996080, member: 1026"] Agree on offensive side of ball, Isaiah's 4th Q stats put him with or atop those guys. He does finish with either hand a lot more this year, that + smarts/savy & 3pt shooting is what has upped his game. It'll be really interesting if he can keep it up and if this vaults Isaiah into true star category. I.e. ESPECIALLY given his contract they should be able to trade Isaiah straight up for a 'superstar' like DeMarcus Cousins or Jimmy Butler. In terms of his NBA stock Isaiah is still considered 3rd tier, not a superstar (LeBron & Co) and not All-league but among 20-30 best players in the league. Besides keeping it up, next step is to do it in playoffs - and after recent performances I think Isaiah could dominate a series offensively against anybody in the east other than Cavs.. That trade (Isaiah for Marcus Thornton & Cavs #1 pick ) is quickly becoming biggest steal in quite awhile. Pick was Skal Labisierre, but Phoenix turned that & pick #13 (Georgis something) into Marquese Criss. So Marcus not Bootsy Thornton & 50% of Criss. [/QUOTE]
