28 points per game looks nice. 53% TS is the worst true shooting on the roster. That's a volume scorer, not an efficient one.
Usage rate of 31% consuming that many possessions at that efficiency is a measurable drag on the team's offensive rating. Same position league average TS% is 57% โ four points below league average, scaled over a season, is hundreds of wasted possessions.
Playoff defense will expose this. Media won't say it. The numbers will.
