He definitely has a great stroke (maybe not KD level but definitely far above average), he doesn't have the handle and explosiveness off the dribble to be KD. He has to lean forward so much to do a dribble move his shyt comes in slow motion. Still effective, but he will never be a KD and will never average 28 without dominating near the basket.
I think 28 is a given just off him getting a couple more shots a game and shooting a higher percentage. But if he plays near the basket more often it should be 32-35 with ease. If he takes 20-22 shots a night only 5 at most should be 3's until or unless he's banging 40 percent of them.

I don't think he's speaking on a whole season...

He couldn’t shoot 60% for a season but he’s going to consistently shoot 70% against the best defensive center in the league. Okay.

Taking nothing from Shaq, who was a singular force in his prime - but the same way the general public tends to underrate his dominance, he somehow perpetually overstates it.

He shot 60% in a season 3x in his career or he couldn't do it? Which one?

This best defensive center in the league is 80 to 100+ lighter than prime Shaq who had series shooting 60% and 57% against Dream and Mutumbo. A series shooting 64% (albeit low volume) on Duncan.

70% in any given game against someone 35% lighter than him with a high center of gravity and no strength is clearly possible. 65% for a 5/6 game series is unlikely but plausible. Are you telling me Wemby is a better defender than Dream?

all these old heads know is assault, elbowing and knocking people down.

I'm glad they took mma out of the game and let pure skills shine

Silver and the league had the golden opportunity to cut ties with Shaq and Barkley but re-uped with them instead. :snoop:

IN SINGLE COVERAGE
SHAQ COULD SHOOT 70% AGAINST
ANY PLAYER WHO EVER LIVED.

WE TEND TO FORET SHAQ
WAS DOUBLE AND TRIPLED TEAM
AND HACKED
ALL THE TIME WHEN LOOKING
AT HIS NUMBERS.

HE WASNT GOING 1V1
LIKE JOKIC IS ALLOWED TO
DO ALL GAME.

EMBIID DROPPED 70 PTS
ON WEMBY HEAD LAST YR

I just seen Chet get his shyt pushed in by Sengun...who isn't physical by ANY means.
What the hell is Chet going to do with Shaq?





If you actually watch OKC play it's clear Chet has a long way to go...this myth that he's some kind of elite defensive force rarely manifests on the court.




I don't even consider Chet and Wemby "bigs" so it's a ridiculous discussion...both of them are a 3's in a 7 foot+ body.
