There has never been another player in the association that has brought to the table the full set of skills that Michael Olowokandi has put on display tonight! First year in the league, #1 pick in the draft and here we can see exactly what Elgin saw in him when he made the pick!

Well I have elite rebounding and efg, usage is good throughout, I’m hoping Gerald Wallace help the defense average. Need to work on threes but those are easier to find later on. A little bit of buyers remorse on Gerald Wallace

Drummond and Sabonis do not have any seasons with enough SF effectiveness to switch with Giannis. So Giannis won’t be able to switch to defend anyone’s high usage big man. Same principle with Gerald Wallace. His PG effective’s is 85-90% so not a good option to defend PG for Mitchell. This is an integral piece to understanding how defensive matchups and switching work. The efg and rebounding is awesome but don’t count on the defense “averaging out”.

Well damn fml

I actually think Bill Walton might have invented trolling with how he covered those Clipper games

RIP Bill Walton
His color commentary on the LA Clippers broadcasts in the 90s/00s was incredible.

His national commentary on Rockets games during the 94 and 95 title runs was the question that I will never get to ask. I understand I am an unrepentant homer and the ultimate Olajuwon fanboy. Still, I was very tired of hearing Big Red crap on Olajuwon every round by saying that ________________ (Power Forward or Center) was better than Olajuwon and would be a problem for him to deal with.

he was known for his commitment to ironical overstatement

This, and Rockets fans overrate their own players more than any fans I've encountered.

Are you trying to tell me that Vernon Maxwell was not the second best shooting guard of the 90s?

Clyde and Mitch have entered the chat

Very happy with my 7. I probably need to find a little bit more rebounding but I still have a big opening at pf so should be able to easily. Efg approaching 58, defense close to 78, tov below 12, a decent amount of 3s.

how are you getting to that efg with KG and Wade being your big usage? I'm confused

Allen 67.8, Porter 64.6, McGee 62.5, Vandy 60.8, Batum 59.7. I had to really focus to bring it up.

The EFG number is usage waited btw

yeah, I suppose you can run your summary line numbers through the equation

Alpharay Spacegun is my new favorite player.
