@sa_wick@StoolGreenie Devin Booker lead his team in scoring and averaged 6.8 assists by the age of 22. Bradley Beal lead his team in scoring and had 4.5 assists at 24.
It's not that exclusive a club for players who lead their team in scoring and had 4 or more assists.
@sa_wick@StoolGreenie Your claim was that it's never happened. All I have to do to disprove the claim is find one instance. I quickly found 3.
And if Tatum is going to lead us anywhere, he's going to need to be a HOF himself.
@sa_wick@StoolGreenie I could find other examples. But plenty of great wing scorers have lead their team in scoring and had over 4 assists per game under the age of 26
@sa_wick@StoolGreenie Never? Pierce lead the Celtics in scoring and averaged over 4 assists in 2003.
MJ lead his team in scoring and averaged 5.9 assists as a 21 year old.
Tracy McGrady lead his team in scoring with over 4 assists by 21 and lead the whole league in scoring with 5.5 assists at 23
@g02727629@lavenderlady77@lavern_spicer So the high end of those two statistics means 2% of all cases are paralytic and then 30% of those cases die.
That's .06% mortality rate for all cases. And that's with us taking the high end of both statistics. The lower end gives us a figure below Covid for sure.
@ELTaxPayer20@celtics It has nothing to do with green glasses. Kyrie had surgery in Cleveland. They put a wire in his knee. It caused discomfort while in Boston. He had it removed. When it was removed an infection was discovered. He missed the playoffs. Blaming Ainge is idiotic.
@ELTaxPayer20@celtics It’s not a fact. Kyrie had a number of injuries prior to coming to Boston. Boston played him the lowest minutes of his career. Those are the facts.
Boston did not run Kyrie into the ground.
@ELTaxPayer20@celtics They ran Kyrie’s body into the ground? He averaged the lowest minutes of his career since his rookie year when he was in Boston.
He missed the playoffs in 2018, because he had a wire removed from a previous surgery and an infection was discovered inside his knee.
@jackarriere @BrianTRobb Only two players in the whole league averaged 2 or more steals per game last season. Ben Simmons at 2.1 and Kris Dunn at 2.0.
Tatum was 23rd in the NBA, and Smart was 9th with 1.7 and has never cracked 2 per game.
Not impossible for Tatum to average 2, but not that likely.
@6thandJuneau@jeskeets Ainge made the big move for Ray. And again for KG. Made the big move trading Pierce and KG. Big move for Kyrie. He also signed Hayward, Horford, and Kemba. Traded the #1 pick for the #3 and a future lottery pick.
The notion that Ainge never makes big moves is nonsense.
@Ben_7_Ben@TheSteinLine One of the reasons many TPE’s aren’t used is because often when a team trades away more salary than they take back, and it creates a trade exception, they are in cost cutting mode. The last thing they want to do is add salary back in a later trade.
@CdreMattDecker@ByJayKing I like having both Teague and Payton. You do need some depth in case of injuries. Also expecting a rookie to jump right into a backup point guard role with the shortened offseason, and lack of preseason, is asking a lot.
@richfromwoburn @985TheSportsHub Interesting analogy. While Norman Rockwell paintings are worth more, Dali’s work is still quite valuable. Highest at auction went for 21.5M(most for any work by a surrealist) and it wasn’t even a particularly notable piece.
@HartsWorld@ZGordon4@raider_texas@AdamHimmelsbach His point is that you have to evaluate someone in comparison to their competition. It’s a valid one.
Just in the same way you know a 40% three point shooter is a good one, because he shoots above league average. Even though he’s still missing 60% of his threes.
