**OFFICIAL 2019 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD**

[VARNELL HILL]

I can't tell if Lee is elite Lee'ing me but I just looked it up

According to the Ringer...he's shooting 41% on catch and shoot 3's

It’s unfortunate that Walker hasn’t been surrounded by more high-level shot creators so that he could flaunt his skills off the ball more often. Over the past four seasons, Walker has shot an excellent 41.4 percent on spot-up 3s, per NBA.com/Stats. Almost two of every five of Walker’s 3s have come off the catch, which is a decent number for a primarily on-ball threat, but he’d be better off attempting fewer lower-efficiency isolations and increasing his off-ball chances. Walker’s ability to shoot off the catch and move without the ball is what makes him such an intriguing fit next to superior teammates, whether that’s in Charlotte or elsewhere.



Many of his catch-and-shoot 3s have come after racing through a maze of screens to get open, like in the clips above. Walker has all the moves in the book—hesitations, pivots, and jukes—to spring free from his defender. With good footwork and the body control to balance himself in midair, he’s capable of draining shots from tough angles, just like shooting specialists can. Since 2015-16, Walker has shot 37.8 percent on 3s off screens, including shots off the bounce, per Synergy. Walker is about as effective using dribble handoffs, scoring 1.05 points per possession since 2015-16, per Synergy. Walker has logged 143 possessions in dribble handoffs this season, the eighth-most in the league. In the clip below, he lulls his defender to sleep before shuffling side to side to create a sliver of space to unleash his shot.

 

[MVP]

Ah, I just looked into it. These are his percentages in the past 4 years: 34 (this season), 40, 46, 44 = 41%

Looks like he's right around 1.2 makes per game the past 4 years and I'd say this season is definitely an outlier

That's an encouraging factor in terms of his fit with Luka. Another pick and roll threat is also a plus

Yea he fits. Also perfect next to Zo who will help mask his deficiencies defensively and Kemba would be able to handle half court duties if Bron ever decides to stop dominating the ball and just play small forward.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

It is but we could do a lot worse than adding Kemba. We'd be food on defense tho lol.

I was hoping Brogdon would somehow be an option, though he's seemingly just the sport version of Brunson

I didn't realize Kemba was even an option but seeing his spot up numbers, I'm encouraged. I think maxing him isn't ideal at all but under the circumstances they're pretty much forced in to giving anyone who's willing to take a max this summer

Any of Kemba, Vucci, Boggers, Randle, Mirotic and Brogdon I'd be happy.. getting 2 of those I'd be thrilled

 

[JD617]

Isn’t this a net of 165 tho?

Huh? It's a net of -151. That +7 over 19 games which means they've mostly been a negative with him on the floor as well.

@dacomeup You were right, the Mamba MVP Player Impact Rating includes all kinds of incorrect math.

Wouldn't be a bad mulligan on Ratsull. Lebby's won with a score first point guard but then again Lebby looks wrinkled and they're playing in the west

I've had cow tongue. It's not my thing but certainly not disgusting. And crickets are more common than what most people think.
