Donovan Mitchell & Devin Booker

[Everythingg]

Rule changes make that hard

can’t call these guys checkers when they leading scorers on playoff contenders

Rule changes that allow more defense to be played?

I know this is trolling, but, 45% used to be seen as the marker of elite shooting. That mark in-between star and superstar also was clear within that 40 to 45 percentage mark.

Russell FG% for his career is around what these guys are shooting this year. Now would you say Russ is efficient or a chucker?


If I had to pinpoint it I’d say anything less than 43% is chucker status, 43-45 is alright to good and then anything over 45 is elite. And chucker isn’t necessarily bad imo, it just means to me that a talented player gets a lot of opportunities with the ball but isn’t necessarily efficient at scoring.

If I had to choose between the two…

I’d take Jaylen Brown

When jaylen brown becomes a number 1 option somewhere we can talk....

Uh yeah? Most everyone’s scoring avg and FG%/TS% is down

u tryna imply these guys aren’t good scorers or sumn?

 

[Luke Cage]

If you’re a guard that isn’t shooting >45% you’re approaching chucker status

I'm old school but my rule is the same. if you shooting sub 45% but put up big points, you just have a green light, you not really an elite scorer.

 

[Reggie]

Tough choice but I would go with Mitchell. He can play and guard both spots and would be a better fit on any team i think

 

[klientel]

Booker is better off ball which is think is absolutely necessary with the way teams are approaching building rosters these days.

There’s levels to everything my guy. That’s why even with the rule changes KD and Curry are still efficient

Lol nobody comparing em to KD and Curry tho

u tryna make it seem like Book and Mitchell inefficient chuckers

 

[mbewane]

Always been more a fan of Mitchell, it's subjective though in my case. Haven't seen enough big games by Booker and tbh the Kobe comparisons (though no fault of his own) always rubbed me the wrong way.

For whatever reason me saying less than 45% is approaching chucker status struck a nerve with you. Even though I already called them talented. Don’t know what else to say about it really

Deflection but it’s all good ain’t that deep u have a good day

Deflect from what?

I basically said the 2 are talented scorers whose percentages are approaching (meaning not quite there) chucking status. And for Book that’s just this year. The last 2 or 3 years he’s been over 48.

But yea same to you
