they are not similar...https://stathead.com/basketball/pcm...r_id1=barneha02&p2yrfrom=2022&sum=0&request=1
They are so similar... just check out the head to head comparison there. The one year Barnes played with a good rebounding center his rebound numbers were even similar. If Barnes raises his usage his turnovers will also come up.
Over their careers Bogey is 1.3% higher on 3 point shooting on MUCH higher volume and 3% higher on 2 point shooting. Go ahead and state whatever reason you think it is that Barnes shoots like 50% less threes than Bogey as volume goes up percentages go down... its just ****ing science.
I think maybe you are under thinking it.
Barnes gets to the foul line more, grabs more rebounds, dishes out more assists on less turnovers, gets your more steals and blocks. doesn't matter if it's per 36 or per 100 possession. He's better than Bogey in all aspects of the game besides scoring, which heavily depends on usg% and touches he gets.
of course player's TOs would come up if they get more usage. that's natural game of basketball. but once they get more touches, do they also get more assists and create more chances for his teammates.
bogey's had spent a total of 8 seasons in the NBA, and 5 of those seasons he's had more turnovers than assists, meaning the more touches he gets the more he's hurting your offense.
Barnes by comparison, only had done it once and it was from his rookie season.
Bogey's an offball shooter and you would want him to stay away from the ball-handling duty as much as possible. Barnes just gives you more flexibility both offensively and defensively.
