Crazy to think people would take Desmond Bane or Jordan Poole over SGA
You could have @ me
Have you been watching Bane? This is a point where I'm going to completely switch things over to stats and prove my initial point. Bane has made 30 3 pointers this season, Shai has made 7.
Shai is shooting 32% from the 3 point line while Bane is shooting 47%. You don't have to speculate, Shai won't be reaching Bane's percentages, he's a 35% career shooter from 3. Meanwhile Bane is 44%.
I highlight that to say that the thing makes Bane so dangerous, is he is an all around threat. He often gets room to the basket by selling his shot fake at the 3. He can finish over taller and stronger defenders with the way he protects the ball and finishes with runners. He cuts, relocates and dishes the ball out from the attention he is able to garner.
I saw Shai last night and although impressive, the lack of a 3 ball kills his game. So many seasons in the league and he can't drain that consistently to be a threat. It'd open up the game more for him and that terrible shooting team.
In conclusion, watch some games that aren't OKC only, because Bane has been fantastic this year.
Like I told them..SGA is a better athlete or whatever but Bane is elite at shooting, which is a necessity today. He isn’t a high level scorer like SGA, but he isn’t a bum or a shooter only. That elite 3 point shot closes the gap between them.
Who the hell else is gonna score for OKC
