I thought OG wanted out of Toronto bc he wanted a bigger role? With Bridges here, OG is further down on the pecking order than before.

30% of shots came from launching 3's that he only converts 31% on. League avergae has been around 36- 37% over the last few years, hence his terrible effeciency in that period. In fact he's been absolutely putrid from an effeciency perspective over the duration of his time in New York aside from the season before last due to his shytty shot profile

49% eFG
52% eFG
46% eFG
54% eFG
51% eFG

All below league AVERAGE in every season. His touches per game are also ridiculously on par or more than superior players like Durant, Kyrie, and SGA while his turnover rate is higher than league average.

He has the ball too much and is far too inefficient with those opportunities. Those are the facts whatever it is you're babbling about is pure fan fiction from not comprehending whatever is you thought you were "watching," go figure :mjlol:
Nailed it. We’re going to get the exact Julius Randle who’s never had a pg and second best player was second year RJ Barrett. You know ball bro. Playing with better players at every position won’t change his game in the least bit. We definitely don’t have a significant sample size stating otherwise either.

It's bullshyt. It was only reported he said that when he was on a mediocre Raptors team. Being a 4th option on a competitive team doesn't matter when you're making 40m a year

The most important stats to show Randle's shift in playstyle last season were everyone else's three-point frequency and efficiency when they shared the floor with Randle compared to without him. Everyone on the team got more and better looks from three while Randle was playing last season.

OG and Mikal are going to EAT if Randle's playing like he did last season.

I'm not even bashing him, he has his usefulness in certain situations, like the rebuilding Knicks from a few years ago. But to pretend like he isn't a ball stopping bricklayer is just hilarious fantasy land babble. Hopefully he leans into a reduced role this year because they have a really interesting team.

That’s a lot to give up for a third option…
Bridges realistically isn't a guy who can be a first option, he can boost his scoring but it comes at a cost of his defense taking a slide.

Him at 14ish PPG a game on good efficiency with 1st team All-NBA level defense is what they need - which is what he did with the Suns

Cherry picking a 15 game sample size over a players entire career worth of data :mjlol: yes I'm sure they'll win 93% of their games next season just like they did during that period and break the all time wins record, what an intelligent point Mr. ECA
