• TS% 53% โ€” that's the worst true shooting in the lineup, all volume no efficiency

    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.

  • TS% drop analysis is correct and this is the third analyst I've seen make it this week. The box score worshippers won't listen until it affects the win column.

  • Add to this: his three-point attempt rate went up 4.2 percentage points while his three-point percentage dropped 2.8 points. He's taking more shots from further out and making fewer. That's the efficiency story.
