If you actually watch the games it’s not a simple as you want to make it seem here in the metrics.
Bam is legitimately invited to shoot the basketball often times he isn’t even defended anywhere outside the paint aside from drive denials. It has no gravity or effect on the offense at all except for being a negative. It is not efficient and is a win for the defense every time if a Miami possession ends with Bam taking a mid range to a 3 point shot.
Anthony Davis is a proven shot maker in this league, if you leave him open he will bury that shot. He holds gravity everywhere on the offensive end and is a legitimate scorer of the basketball, and is defended like one.
Bam gets his points mainly because the defense allows him to take those really bad inefficient free throw line looks, and points off try hard dunk man stuff. He has no game, absolutely zero bag on offense. When he has great nights it’s often because the defense made the calculated gamble to let him shoot, and it just happened to not work out in their favor.
Now Miami is moving away from Bam being the try hard dunk man because we have a better one, and you can see the result. Now we have people pretending like he’s a 22 year old developing player and not an 8 year NBA veteran. He’s a great player but at 60 million dollars a year that juice isn’t worth the squeeze when you have a more talented big 7 years younger who is a better rim protector, better shooter, and a better lob threat. Not many guys not playing the 5 in this league who can’t shoot who are at the top of the game. Maybe you can provide some comps, also before you bring up the 2020 Lakers consider that was half a decade ago and the game has changed dramatically, and we don’t have a top 5 player in the games history on this team to carry, but you might be able to go really get some fire power to surround Ware and Herro with over 120 million in cap space and war chest of draft capital.
Bam might be one of the worst max players in the NBA that isn’t in their mid 30s and physically washed.

Love the desperate nonsense you turn to when every fraudulent statement gets refuted and you have nothing else to turn to.
“If you only watched bro!”
Throw in a sad attempt at being clever (leave that to more creative ppl than yourself)
All the while make sure you constantly move the goalposts to cover for your original uneducated statements that you throw out based on pure emotion!
Distract and deflect! Can’t have anyone dwelling on all the dumb sh*t you said!
Own up to it instead of always backtracking and defaulting to the same tired crying.
You said a bunch of nonsense and are desperately attempting to bridge the gap to normalize it now.
The freak out about raw numbers in an inflationary salary cap NBA is pure scare tactic. Talk % of cap or sit down and learn
Yawn.
I’m going to enjoy you continuing to cry about this. I bet you were the type that always thought he was destined to be Tristan Thompson.
Where are all the great non 5s in the league who can’t shoot? Let’s list them all here in this thread
They are very clearly working on developing that and I Gave you the numbers yesterday or the day before from similar cases, you just want to be hard headed and ignore it so you can talk **** lol.
And why does it even matter? Despite not being a shooter Bam has been widely known as a top 25 player in this league for years now and his accolades/deep postseason runs back that. You should be looking forward to someone on your favorite team strengthening one of their weaknesses and becoming a better player in time but this weird subsection of fans just loves talking in such extremes and negatives at every corner when it comes to the dude. Literally never happy. The second Bams 3 ball becomes consistent and he has quicker decision making when attacking he will literally have 0 weaknesses in his game.
