Aaron Baynes, Vucevic, Olynyk, Marcus Smart and Dinwiddie off the bench.

Would blast us by 40 every game.

Meanwhile we’d beat 12 Anthony Davis’s in 5 games.


Aaron would shoot no less than 45% from downtown. Against anyone else, Aaron will shoot 4-5%.
 
Over the last 15 games...

155 players have taken 50+ threes this season. Trae is dead last out of 155. :lol:

I know it’s still early in the season and he’s only 20 and I don’t expect it to stay that way forever, but man... gotta clean up the shot selection in the meantime.
 
It was funny to watch last night. Every time Lin would come into the game, ATL would go on a run. And every time Trae would replace him, the Celtics would go on a run. Top is Trae, bottom is Lin:

Now obviously Lin isn’t in their long term plans and Trae is. And they don’t necessarily want to win right now anyway. But yeah, if you’re Trae and you’re shooting 22.6% on threes, maybe don’t pull off the dribble 5 feet behind the line like Steph. Guy is shooting a lower % than Marcus Smart. That’s gotta be demoralizing as a teammate.
Only made 1 of his last 25 attempts from 3 :lol: we’re officially at rock bottom with him as a jump shooter.

Pierce giving him all the freedom in the world so whatever. Every other facet looks good at this stage but the long pull-up bombs are comical at this point

I was once laughed at in here for saying he wasn't a true talent shooter...
 
Deandre Ayton only getting 12 FGA per game is a damn crime. Please get this man a point guard.
 
Houston gonna probably end up grabbing the 2nd seed tho. Melo was holding dem back tbh.
Not many folks here or in the basketball community predicted the immediate impact of the new rule changes and increase in pace and shot distribution

Regardless, the way the West has panned out so far has been fun and generally unforeseen
 
Kings should catch more flack for passing on Luka than Atlanta should.
Plus if you’re going to evaluate that trade wouldn’t it be Luka vs Trae + whoever they draft with the Mavs pick?
 
40% on 8-10 attempts certainly doesn’t appear to be in the cards.

The million dollar question is if/when gets to that 35% range, combine that with the rest of his arsenal & is that a better/comparable player than what Doncic will be
If we can project him to be in the 35% range, can I in-turn project Luka to shoot 45% from 3?
 
The league changed overnight on the Jazz and their defense. Oof.
I think you got to have at least 3 guys who can shoot the 3 ball at all times on the court or your ability to compete goes bye bye

Long time vets who are adapting understand that. Look at Taj Gibson who can make the occasional 3 when I've never known him to even attempt it
