Drummond averaged 14ppg on 62% in his second year, give him CP3 and the Reddikk and he goes over 65%.

Because you're trying to compare a dude that has vastly superior teammates to someone who is just now getting to play as a 1st option, yet you're the one trying to bring up context.

FG% isn't flawed, I can look at Curry's 3pt FG% on it's own and see who is more efficient :yeshrug:
You know 70% FG is little bit away from the highest FG% in NBA history, right? Drummond wouldn't magically approach those numbers. DJ's FG% is that high because he can basically catch any lob thrown at him, Drummond can't(not many players can).

Yes FG% is, it counts 2s and 3s as the same attempt and completely cuts out FTs like they don't even exist. Do FTs not count towards points now?

Is Drummond more efficient than Westbrook, John Wall, and IT2?

DJs FG% is that high because he almost never takes any other kind of FGA. His game is almost entirely putbacks and lobs.

You kinda runnin wild breh

Breh, Drummond shot 62% his second year in the league with a far worse team around him, and a PG who isn't even half of what CP3 is. The reason his FG% is where it's at now is because they're running offense through him. I mean seriously, 77% of DeAndre's shots are assisted and 51% of Drummonds are and you're talking to me about context?

:ld: That's what the individual 3pt FG% is for, not everything needs to be turned into an all encompassing stat. I even think the name "True shooting" is ridiculous too.

Who said anything about efficiency, we're talking about FG% and now you want to talk efficiency as though there aren't stats for that as well. And yeah, Drummond has been more efficient than everyone you named outside of :russ:

We should talk about Drummond's offensive rebound stat padding where he misses three shots in a row because he can't put in a tip in properly. :mjpls:

Yes you do...

Drummond shoots 52% from the field, which is fine and he has no trouble drawing fouls. The problem is when he gets to the line.

He is in a perfect positon to score efficiently. Plays near the rim, gets to the line 8 times a game(would be around maybe 6 without the hacking), and isn't told to create offense like a normal number one option.

There's a reason why Cousins shoots a higher TS% while having a much lower FG%. He gets to the line at an elite level and actually MAKES his FTs.

We've seen Drummond play as a garbage man and lob man, he has never shot above 62% FG in his career. DJ has done this his entire career(except for his 2nd season).
They don't hear you they'd argue being an inefficient center is good. Drummond should easily be in the 60s, he draws at a huge percentage too. Being garbage at the line hurts his game. People still use raw fg% :mjlol:
