Rose has played slightly less mpg for the Pistons than Rivers has been playing for us. Simple 1 for 1 swap could be the totality of the rotation change.
Right you are.
Here is a significant stat, and why this trade IS GOOD FOR QUICKLEY.
In similar minutes and number of games? Getting to the charity stripe?
Austin is 7-10 from the FT Line. Payton is 36-51, for a .706%. Rose is 42-50 for a .840%
Austin is a better long range shooter, like 375% vs 333%.
But Rose is a better penetrator, and one would thus extrapolate, better and finding back cutters and running the pick and roll. And when he goes to the rack, which he does with considerable frequency, he is
a career .827% FT shooter.
His one season as a Knick Derrick converted 221-253 [.874%]
Rivers .645%
Payton .629%
Ntilikina .774%
Quickley .929% [52-56 in 19 minutes a night over 20 games].
Last season with Detroit, in 26 minutes a night, his stat line was 18.1 ppg, 2.4 boards, and 5.6 assists, with 121-139 from the FT line for a .871%. THAT IS FUCKING SOLID.
Pretty much what he did for Thibs and Ryan Saunders the year before in Minny, where his 3-point shooting came in at .370%, down to .306% last season.
Elfrid? Last season for the Knicks, in similar minutes [28.4] Elfrid's stat line was 10.0 ppg, 4.7 reb, and 7.2 assists. He was 49-86 from the FT line, for a .570%. Doing better this year, where he is 36-51, for a .706%.
For the forseeable future we are going to see
Robinson-Randle-Bullock-Barrett-Payton
Noel/Gibson-Toppin-Burks-Quickley-Rose
Knox-Rivers-Ntilikina
Obviously Rose is not the player he was before his injury, but for 20 minutes a night?
I can hardly wait for him to become IQ's running buddy.
Slow Immanuel's development?
PuhLEESE.
