Stephenson is in the record books for shooting 17.1% on 101 attempts for Charlotte
Nah, didn't realize. I just saw Hibbert carrying him with his revolutionary defense.

Didn't know how he played in Charlotte changed what he did in Indiana. That's crazy.

Go ask Indy fans about Lance Stephenson's good to great shooting at the 2 guard position. The article I found documenting his piss-poor shooting in Charlotte did acknowledge he was better in Indy, but still labeled him as a 'respectable' shooter.
I have these things called stats. Pretty big sample size in his final two seasons of good shooting. Issues later or earlier in his career don't change those final two in Indiana.

Somehow I don't care much about your stat of 3pt%. Kendall Marshall was a better 3pt shooter than Dirk and Durant in 2013-14 btw.
Look at some advanced stats from 2013-14 where George ****s on Hayward. Hayward only assisted at a higher percentage, which means nothing because he was unquestionably less efficient all around offensively. PG turned it over less and had a higher TS% and EFG%. The difference in defensive rating is laughable. It's like 96 to 110.
Hayward would have definitely gotten them to the finals. Totally would have made the difference versus Lebron and Wade.
I don't think the injury made him worse at all. He just hasn't worked as tirelessly as Hayward has on his game (especially this last offseason) and his effort has waned at times this year playing for a team destined for mediocrity.
Are you saying Utahr lacked vets during the Corbin era?
This makes me wonder whether Utah or Indy had a better offensive rating during these years. I mean, it's been confirmed that George had unquestionably superior statistics, and if he did that while being part of a worse offense overall, well, that would be a real head-scratcher.

Wow. Looking at that video makes me wonder how many times the NBA tested Hayward for steroids thinking something had to be up only left scratching their collective heads wondering how he beat their test every time. Lol
Beat me to it
That's got to. E the worst thing I've ever seen.

I totally get all the excitement over Hayward and proclamations that he is superior to Paul George this year. The stats back it up this season. However I want to see how Hayward performs in the playoffs before I make judgement. The playoffs is where a player truly makes a name for himself, not the regular season where the games don't matter as much. PG has won 31 playoff games, led his team to the Conference finals twice (taking eventual champion Miami to 7 games in 2013), while Hayward made the playoffs once his rookie year and got swept. If Hayward steps up his game in the playoffs this year, that will convince me. But for now, I have to say PG is still the better and more proven/battle-tested player.
