Buddy and Barnes scored on pretty low percentage. Buddy missed a lot of open shots. Barnes missed a lot of layups. Buddy and Fox combined for more than half of the team's turnovers. No one is especially good or bad in this game. Well except for Giles who is pretty bad.

Actually it was Bjelica's defense on Collins that was a train wreck in the first 4 minutes. To be more precise, it was Bjelica and Fox's pick and roll defense of Young and Collins duo that was a train wreck. It was so bad that Joerger had to call a time out to put WCS on Collins and that...

I already took his passing into my ranking. He has very high basketball IQ with a lot of skills. That is why he is in my second tier. For a big man to be a franchise cornerstone, he has to be an efficient finisher with high usage. In my opinion, Giles is a facilitator/opportunistic scorer...

This is an accurate take. To add that, Jokic is doing it against opposing starters (many of them elite defenders) as a focal point of offense. Let's see if Giles can still pass if he has +7' of wingspan draping all over him.

Franchise cornerstones: Fox, Bagley Important support players: Buddy, Bogi,Giles, WCS Role players: Bjelica, Shumpert, Jackson, Ferrel, Koufos Trade fillers: Mason, McLemore, Skal

Lol. You can't compare WCS to Jackson, or Fox or Ball. These guys are not centers and they don't operate out of the high post. Almost every team has a big guy working in the high post in some kind of capacity, screening, scoring, passing or a combination of those. Out of the high post, WCS...

He is most effective in the high post. He is actually a prolific passer for center out of the high post. Low turnovers as well. Basically a good ball movers. From the high post, he also drives a lot to the basket, though with low FG% and decent foul drawing rate...

Leo Beas did not say anything about guards being small. He said the guards did not communicate enough and were not in the right positions defensively. Fox and Bjelica had multiple instances of not boxing out. WCS has a 91% def box out rate which is very good. If every one boxes out their...

They don't operate in the same space. WCS is in the high post and Bagley in the low post. If they run the horns set then of course one on the left and one on the right. Giles is being used exactly the same as WCS. If you think Giles and Bagley can play together then WCS and Bagley pairing...

Giannis definitely. Jokic probably. How about that rookie from Dallas? ;)

Not a small forward. A shooting guard really. Horrible rebounder. 6.4% rebound rate from basketball-reference. That rate is decent for a point guard, pathetic for a small forward. Possibly the biggest culprit why the team gets out-rebounded. https://on.nba.com/2BRW1zB Very bad defender...

This lineup would have a lot of trouble defending the pick and roll. Besides Fox, every other position does not have enough length to make it difficult for lob passes or needle thread passes. On paper, this is an offensive lineup. Ideally, you would play this lineup when you need to...

Sorry I may have worded poorly. These stats basically measure value over replacements. You don't want to compare them across teams or even compare players within a team but at different positions. Star players will always have good number. Back to Nance for example. He's -.6 at Lakers...

These are flawed stats, cited without any context. For example, Nance's on/off at the Lakers is -0.6 while his on/off at Cavaliers is +5.5. Is he making more an impact at the Cavaliers? Not really. It just happened that he start a few games with Lebron James so of course his on/off would...

You think an assistant coach is going to overturn the entire offensive scheme within a day? Lol

It was Bagley who was at the top of the key. The play was the Fox and Bagley pick and roll and Fox got pickpocketed by Rubio. WCS was in the Jazz's restricted area when the ball was turnover.

Hield is one of the best spot up shooters in the league, if not the best. https://on.nba.com/2JuOYST No thanks

I don't like Aaron Gordon at max. He does not draw fouls enough. He is bad at pull up shooting and average at catch and shoot. I'm not sure that he can ever be a #1 or even #2 option on offense. And he does not do anything else well enough to justify a max offer. I don't like Hezonja. His...
