Dennis was actually capable offensively he literally just didn't care about scoring. I'm taking Dennis easy.
Yes dude could make threes and could score a bit was also a good passer.


:snoop:


Rodman was a 23% career 3pt shooter and a 58% career free throw shooter. His offense was limited enough in the regular season, but in the playoffs it dropped even more - he averaged just 6ppg and 1apg career in the playoffs, shooting 15% from 3pt and 54% from free throw.

So he "could have" made more threes and he "could have" hit his free throws and he "could have" scored more points and gotten more assists, but he just chose not to?

Why is a guy who "chooses" not to make his shots any better than a guy who just plain can't do it in the first place? Rodman NEVER showed he could do those things at the pro level.

I'm interested that no one has put up their career playoff numbers. Wait, I know why.

Draymond: 12 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 1.5 steals, 1.4 blocks
Rodman: 6 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist, 0.6 steals, 0.6 blocks


So in the playoffs they basically average the same rebounds, while Draymond doubles him up or more on EVERYTHING else.

One of the reasons for that is that Rodman often had a limited role on his playoff squads. Averaged just 28 minutes/game in the playoffs for his career. Was straight up a bench player for those 1987-1989 Detroit squads and platooned with Toni Kukoc at PF for those Bulls teams. That's something you don't really see with Draymond because his role on both sides of the ball was too crucial for his teams.

I'm not arguing the percentages obviously they were trash lol. Either way I'm still taking Rodman lol.

Anyone that chooses Rodman is only doing so out of personal preference. Y'all really need to stop acting like y'all are being objective with this.
