Kicking off this @raptorsrepublic draft cycle with my personal top choice for the Toronto Raptors at pick 19: Michigan's Morez Johnson Jr
Really a seamless fit from a positional/talent perspective, Morez provides defensive versatility and offensive upside with a winning mindset
Here's the NBA's eFG% on layups (excluding dunks), via number of dribbles this season:
0: 61.9% (69.1% when the passer is a center)
1: 58.9%
2+: 52.1%
On the pros/cons of bigs as hubs, & whether Ivica Zubac should make more "split" decisions for IND:

people will always argue about things they don’t know about or haven’t seen, but I much prefer when ppl had to formulate something from their mind rather than offloading it to some shit that just says: +2.8
have a tough time parsing the limitless catch-alls or cobbled together stats with a body of viewership that seems more interested in arguing about the players than the game itself
a lot of the stats seem like assets in argument arms races than they do tools of understanding
and quite frankly conversations are not going to move offline, so the types of ppl who live in this world will just dominate it
but to me it can sometimes just look like two ppl pretending to cast spells at one another
