Still, Mavs offense works and KP is in the middle of it. He gets tons of touches and it seems like good shots that, that game, didn’t go in. Most games are like that LOL but it seems like a functioning situation where he’s a valued piece. I guess I’m just saying that, if you have Luka, the other pieces can have flaws. I mean, KPs shot to beat the half time buzzer was not even defended.

I think he is more valuable than the stat sheet shows.

He hit shots at memorable, high stress moments

c’mon guys

I think they have a pretty good roster. Maybe not as balanced as it could be but there’s talent. If I make a trade I’d be interested to see if there’s a point guard for Randle or Morris.

Either way I can see Randle and Morris being pretty good for quite a while playing for a playoff contender. The difference will be that they’ll have Joel Embid, or Giannis.

Knicks have some nice pieces 2-15. Whether it’s through the draft or FA they need to get their best player.

The eye test had him dominating and I think he is more valuable than the stat sheet shows. He hit shots at memorable, high stress moments and pulled down tons of rebounds. He disrupted on defense and moved the ball on offense. The two point shots will fall.

Overall, he seems like largely the same player he was with us. He’s part of a good situation and they value him. Zach Randolph, Jamal Crawford, David Lee, etc. All guys with holes in their games who were valued correctly in a different uniform.

Even Mavericks fans would fucking die laughing if they read this sort of shit.

Truth lies between the lines….of the box score.

Not a single person on this site would disagree with this.

The issue here is that you have the following players:

.611 TS%, 37.2 USG%, 13.2 AST/100
.504 TS%, 25.5 USG%, 2.2 AST/100

And a certain poster is trying to argue that the gap in offensive value is not enormous.

Talk all you want about defense. Yeah, Doncic is basically James Harden. Porzingis contests a lot of shots. That would be fine if, in the same breath, the hot air about offensive value weren’t blown about the room.

Yeah, Doncic would be better if he never missed tough shots and didn’t turn the ball over on account of his prodigious creativity. Wow! Analysis!

He’s bad on that end, but he’s also 20 years old and carrying a completely uprecedented offensive load for a player that age.

If you want to go after his offensive game, you’re a fool, because there’s simply no getting around the fact that he has the ball all the time for a team that is historically good on offense. You can dig a whole lot deeper if you want of course, but there’s no way to reconcile those two facts without concluding he’s one of the best offensive players in the league and if you’re looking at some piece of information that you think is telling you otherwise you’re probably reading it wrong to be honest.

Also horses
