@thelowballgod @patelsahil2002 True but him playing the 3 creates other issues imo, his iffy footwork and low forced tovs + deflections become even more apparent if he’s guarding the perimeter more. The rebounding impact boost he gets at the 3 still doesn’t make him a neutral defender

@thelowballgod @patelsahil2002 Past 2 seasons he’s a +1.8 zTS% (good not great) non-creator who can’t pass and doesn’t rebound that well and doesn’t do anything on defense. top 30 idk Jim, .50 3pr .30 ftr is sick tho credit where credit is due

@arkaavs It would be very concerning if his free throw rate wasn’t immediately back to pre-injury levels last regular season and playoffs. He hasn’t been seeking contact and risking injury in exhibition games, and his eFG has been good

@eusoueumain I fully agree but if the league’s gonna keep it around I want them to go all the way. Let’s get first quarter player of the year, Who Set The Tone

@ZachMAnalytics The fit with Zion on O is awesome. What do you think is an ideal lineup around them? I don’t love his defensive rebounding, especially at the 5, especially next to Zion who’s really bad on the glass for a 4. Could you run a traditional C, Zion, and Karlo? Could be kinda cool

Franz Wagner has averaged a 19.1 AST% in his Orlando career, with his peak AST% (26.6%) coming in 2025.

Through 3 preseason games, he's generated 35.3% of the Magic's assists. Sean Sweeney gets an A+ so far for how he's reshaped the Magic's offensive division of labor.

@freewave3 Rollins would have been even higher if he wasn’t TOV man with no Morey influence 😆😆😆 shoot another long 2 for me

Closer to being the best player on the magic than the third best

The Most Valuable Non-All-Stars in the NBA

The league’s most awarded players have an obvious appeal, but inefficiency in identification plagues fans and experts alike. All-Star nods identify *most* of the upper crust; +EV lies in the league’s equally talented, but less-heralded

Moving off each other well, finding soft spots, balancing out the team’s collective attack. It’s been some cool stuff fs

I do like a lot of the stirtz shai chemistry im seeing tonight if the shots aren’t really going in. We have to work on that defense tho Mr. Bennett. Send him to the army for a few months and play him in January

3 STL% in college 2 STL% as a rookie 🤔let’s eat

CMB had an outlier deflections : steals ratio and I’ve been wondering in the offseason if any positive regression would instantly take his impact up another level. 0.2 rFTOV last year is fine but we can get higher. 3 steals in the 1st half tonight, looks dialed in

@elitetatum @csruinedme There’s 9 teams in the east that have legitimate hopes or reasonable expectations of winning ~50 games this year. Good basketball teams will be in the play-in, much better teams than recent years

kawhi needs to stop the accessory gimmick he looks like precious achiuwa on the court

@ZachMAnalytics Legit bro & if he blesses us with some stock creation I’m putting him in sickening convos lol
