It's a different era. Guys shooting lots of 3's are gonna have a lower FG%.
Luka's eFG% last two year 50% and 53%
(Luka's 2pt FG% 50% and 57%).
Luka is even more of a showman than Larry Bird.
And sometimes that hurts Doncic's play.
Same thing with Trae Young.
Still, that is deeply embedded in their recombinant DNA.
That is what defines their potential greatness.
There was a Knicks-Hawks game last year, where the Knicks, if not neutralizing Young, were controlling him, and Trae was forcing the action when it seemed as if it wasn't his night.
Then in the fourth quarter, MY GOD. He took over, and was unstoppable.
Forcing the action and fucking up is part of their growth curve.
Going into 2018, I had the hots for LD, Trae and Jaren Jackson...and Michael Porter, who seemed worth putting on ice for a season, not unlike KP, seeming as we were in Tank Mode Zion. Given our draft slot, Mikal Bridges was my man, 3 & D with a trey, but Kevin Knox still looks to have serious upside: Porter, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander upside? We shall see, and it seems that the hiring of Kenny Payne has as much to do with nurturing Knox and Randle, in lieu of giving up too early, buying dear and selling cheap.
Anyway, I'll take LD & TY's faux pas any day of the week. Lillard anyone? Sometimes you need someone who believes that they can amp it up at any moment.
Anyway, the lottery beckons, and I have odd feeling, that we are going to be Top 3.
Bu then, I am an insufferable pompom gurl.
