How many shots is Keegan getting in that rotation 10-11 smh poor guy has to defend for the whole lineup and protect the paint for Sabonis

You're right on target for Keegan. He got about 11 shots per game last year (10.8). He had 9.8 his rookie year and then 12.8 his second year. Here's a thought when there aren't a lot of other things to think about, NBA wise! I agree that with this lineup, there's not much hope for his stats to change, other than him shooting better in the Fall rather than the dismal shooting he's done at that time in his first three years. One, I hope that with the new offense, a point guard, and an emphasis for Keegan to shoot more that he would shoot more. As much as I admire DeRozan, it's unlikely that as long as he's here that Keegan will get many more shots. And it's unlikely that DeRozan will be benched. Two, an odd thing is that DeRozan averaged 36 minutes a game last year and Keegan 34! How is that possible? It would make sense, and it's plausible, for DeRozan, at his age, to go to 32 minutes and for Keegan to go to 36. So just make sure that when DeRozan is out for those extra four minutes that Keegan is in and instructed to be more aggressive. That would easily result in 2 more shots a game. Three, maybe he could have 1 more shot a game while playing with DeRozan.
That moves him to more shots a game than even his second year. He had about 10 his rookie year, 12.7 his second year, and 10.8 last year. Getting 14 shots a game could result in an average of 16, which would be great for him, his career, his pay, and the team. He averaged 15.2 his second year with fewer shots per game. Sixteen points a game is perhaps the most that we could hope for until DeRozan is moved (hopefully for a high level defensive wing who does not need to be a big-time scorer to keep taking shots from Keegan--not Kuminga!). One other possibility. Keegan averages about 1 free throw a game, DeRozan 6! If Keegan could learn from DeRozan before he goes to draw fouls better, that would be a bonus to add 1 or 2 made free throws a game.

Or, ya know, negative thoughts are a naturally occurring byproduct of being human? And orienting oneself toward positivity at all times may have toxic consequences of its own? And instead it might be wise to learn how to regulate all of our emotional responses to our circumstances, rather than cut ourselves off from fundamental emotional experiences?

When there is a GM vacancy, post this you'll probably get interviewed
