Except for a way-over-his-head 2003-04 (fueled by Ray Allen's absence for 26 games) in which he was barely average and consumed nearly 25 possessions per 40 min, Flip's been a very mediocre player. His Usage Rate is higher than Hughes' this season, yet his True Shooting % is 46.3 -- lower than noted marksmen DeSagana Diop, Jared Jeffries, and Milt Palacio. And he's not huge on patience, either: almost 40% of his FGAs have come within the first 10 seconds of the shot clock! While he's not stealing shots from anybody on the second unit, play him on the floor with Bron and Z at your own risk. Seems Danny Ferry should have asked himself first if the Cavs really needed another fringe-NBAer on their bench. You gotta admit, the site’s complaints are all valid.

They've been morons ever since. LH is WAY overpaid, in fact Ricky D was a better player but they moved him due to their coach, who also got the boot for being an idiot. The Cavs will screw their way into losing Bron and they'll try to build around a 34 year old Hughes and the ever retarded Damon Jones. The cleveland franchise luck’d into BronBron.

Then again, he probably wouldn't understand my criticism anyway. Flip is a terrific one-on-one offensive player, and if he can isolate a defender and drive he can score on almost anybody. But that's the extent of his game. He cannot run the point. He cannot play defense. He cannot see the floor. He's not a great shooter. I'm pretty sure he doesn't even know what a pick-and-roll is. And there's a specific reason he went to a Division 1-AA college (hint:it had nothing to do with his talent).

The only thing he brings is some defensive toughness, but it's not like he's Ron Artest or something. I can’t see a place for Newble in the rotation anymore.
