Yes, you are a very smart person that isn't dishonest at all, a highlight reel completely debunks both math and objective reality. I saw a video where Shaq made a 3 pointer in a game, that means math and objective reality are wrong and Shaq was really basically Steph Curry.
I was agreeing with you. He was embarrassing a whole lot of dudes in those clips. Concerning "smart", comparing Green's Iso game to a miracle Shaq 3, really makes me question the brightness of the bulb.
His ISO was in the 35th percentile in the league... in short, it was pathetic.... just like Shaq was pathetic at shooting. A propaganda video can't change that... but I guess it might fool some of the dumbest casual fans.
Cade Cunningham Iso 23/24: 27.9 NBA percentile (got paid max) Scottie Barnes Iso 23/24: 18.4 NBA percentile (got paid max) https://www.nba.com/stats/players/isolation?SeasonYear=2023-24&SeasonType=Regular+Season And what was it the year before? Jalen Green Iso 22/23: 58.7 NBA percentile Anthony Edwards Iso 22/23: 56.7 NBA percentile LeBron Iso 22/23: 31.5 NBA percentile Ja Morant Iso 22/23: 36.8 NBA percentile https://www.nba.com/stats/players/isolation?SeasonYear=2022-23&SeasonType=Regular+Season You truly are Special Short Bus Material
They didn't know the numbers can change year to year? Wonder if they tie their own shoes? They picked out Isolation stat as if it's the tell all stat, not me. Isolations are down since the Harden days and Pick-n-Roll is the play type of choice of most coaches/teams.
I feel like we're looking for glimmers of hope in very niche stats because the broader indicators like BPM or WS/48 are so terrible. He's just been objectively bad the last three years, while still having some standout moments. Let's just hope he puts it together and is consistently good next season. If he doesn't, there's still a lot of other young talent on the team that can step up. My fear is that they'll commit the max dollars to him based on his perceived potential without the track record to back it up, and that will reduce flexibility for signing the other guys and for bringing in complementary FAs.
I know you aren't the best or brightest of ANY group, but I'm sure if you try even you can understand that other people being bad at a thing doesn't make another person who is bad at a thing better.... any more than a highlight reel can make an incompetent player better at a thing. Also... being 58th percentile at a thing is not good. In the context of the NBA, it means you are not top 125 in the league at a thing..... that's nothing to celebrate. 58% is mid and 35% is trash.... despite your highlight reel analysis.
And being mid or even great at a low efficiency play like ISO would just make you the tallest midget. Doesn’t make you great.
Exactly! Very few players should be running ISO with any frequency. Much like shooting the midrange, very few players are good enough at it to make it worthwhile.
Those that are decent at it with volume are all All-NBA types. Luka, SGA, Harden, Kawhi, etc. Would be nice if Jalen could join those ranks. I don’t expect it at this point.
Jalen Green has been objectively "meh" his first three years. I don't know how a 19-22 year old NBA guard is objectively bad is like 8th in NBA history in scoring average for a player before turning 22? Notice how I'm not saying he had one of the greatest first three years for a player ever because of that stat. It just shows he wasn't "objectively bad". He was objectively inconsistent showing a lot of flashes and a lot of low moments. Hence "meh"
He's been objectively "meh" for a bench player....which is terrible for a starter and a disaster for a #2 pick. You say you don't know how a mindless chucker can be bad if they are allowed to chuck enough to pad their raw scoring totals....but I don't REALLY think you are that dumb, you are just being dishonest again. The fact that you rolled in here to defend your guy by effectively showing off a report card with 3 D's and 5 F's is a sign of how little you have to work with when trying to sell your false narrative.
WS/48, you really think that means anything? "Win Share is a measure that is assigned to players based on their offense, defense, and playing time. WS/48 is win shares per 48 minutes and invented by Justin Kubatko who explains: 'A win share is worth one-third of a team win. If a team wins 60 games, there are 180 'Win Shares' to distribute among the players.' " So only 3 people on a team matter? It's a made up nonsense "metric" that literally means nothing and has no bearing in statistical fact. Sorry to break it to you.
Of course, the metric has to be useless because it says your guy sucks..... just like all of the other metrics.
Take your own advice clown. By your logic of Jalen Iso and Shaq one made 3. F'n dingbat........then Tate at 95.5 NBA percentile is our guy. GTFOH Oh and Sengun 32.0 NBA percentile is better? VanVleet at 44 impresses you? You were putting your chest out when you thought it was only 35 NBA percentile but I'm sure you make excuses for LeBron, Morant, Cade Cunningham, Scottie Barnes. Doesn't fit your dumb narrative. Guess the sun was in their eyes or every time they drove there was a wet spot. You are just an @$$-clown. If you are getting paid to do this , you suck. Give them back their money.
