Discussing a FO’s record is often a pointless exercise. People have already decided what narrative/opinion they want to go with then they decide if a move is skill or luck to fit that. Very few things outside of the lotto are completely black and white.

FT% and 3 point volume suggests he has shooting potential as well.

League wide. I was curious after the last post, so I looked it up and league wide R^2 between ORTG and AST% is -0.09.

No correlation between ORtg and AST% this season.

As far as sending him to the GLeague, I’m feeling Déjà vu from last year. I don’t think the GLeague did much for him last and don’t think it will make the difference for him this year either. I think GLeague has more practices, so maybe that will help his skill development. After watching those...

Playing 4v5 Playing 4v5 absolutely drives the tank. I don’t know how you can simultaneously not be good enough for the league but also not be helping the tank by playing minutes.

The Thunder are a result of good luck, but also extremely good management. They were awesome on the margins despite having an embarrassment of riches.

Cody is not a good defensive player. “Fine” means he’s an average/above average defender but there are more aspects to defense than that. He provides zero off ball help, zero defensive playmaking, zero rebounding, and he fouls a lot. He’s 1 percentile in defensive EPM. That probably underrates...

In all seriousness this is a good point. While this has been contested, I do indeed think that minutes are good for development. Cody doesn’t have to get more minutes than Brice/Walt/TH and I don’t think he should. But I’d also say there are other players on this team that don’t need to be...

It's both. He has a very low talent level and also has a very low motor. I wouldn't necessarily say his BBIQ is that terrible though, he's just not able to compete at this level. Anyways, he should get 20+ minutes a game for the rest of the year.

Lamelo for Sabonis is unironically kind of interesting.

I prayed on CP3's downfall for most of my life, but now that it's here this is really sad.

Jake Wilkins, only 16 MPG but has been impressive in limited time: View: https://x.com/tyler_rucker/status/1991189857213784564

Defense is terrible, but his offense might actually be underrated. Behind all the weird stuff he's actually a pretty good offensive engine. But he's also always injured. It's stunted his development and it's just hard to rely on a guy who only plays half the games. He's a player I love to...

Ament looks slow af ngl.
