I'm surprised to see IQ floater % better than maxey

What stands out to me is Jokic is a monster lol

He's ridiculous.

Most efficient post-up player.

Most efficient mid-range player.

Very good 3 point shooter.

Best passer.

Top 5 rebounder.

Offensively he's a juggernaut.

Darko talked about adapting to playmaking and hinted at seeing different players in his new role in Toronto, but I am happy that IQ is honest about how he now has to deal with teams zeroing in on him as a starter:

Really, he has the quickness and enough strength to be a lead guard, but he has to break through that wall to prove he is a starter. He needs to be at least a 20 PPG and 7-8 assists like Fred VanVleet otherwise we need to pivot to a different option. Even with teams like Dallas where they have Luka who is the lead handler 80% of the time, they still need a PG in Kyrie who is a 25+ ppg scorer.

I hope IQ will work during this last portion of the season to prove he is a starter. He just has to get into his offense earlier.

I just want us to use him as that off guard the majority of the time. I think as a scoring threat from 3 is where the majority of his value comes from. Once he gets his floater back, I think we'll be in a good spot.

He doesn't run a "dynamic" offence, and it's why I think Scottie needs to be the initiator most of the time, he has the size and the acumen to see things develop that other players usually don't. IQ can run a more standard HC offence I think, it's not bad, but he's not making any crazy plays or passes, just the safe stuff. Much like FVV, they can punish bad defence, but they don't break down good defence.

Need some real development over the last 30 or so games.

Im really keeping an eye on it, been disappointed thus far but its early on.

Can't believe we got him AND RJ as part of the OG package.

IQ is gonna be special man. Don't stop believing in the kid, otherwise you're gonna look foolish.

Best player we have seen since Jordan imo. He just doesn't have the longevity and flash as others, so he doesn't get the hype

To me, Poole sucks at floaters.

[mihaic]

Biggest goal right now these next 25 games is for IQ to grow and become more comfortable as the lead guard. The synergy between him and Scottie should also develop more.

Raptors plan: Dick and IQ growth.

All you doubters will be proven wrong.

I don't think people realize point guard/lead guard is probably the hardest position to learn.

He's slumping from mid range, but I expect it to jump back up. I see him putting up 22/4/6 next season.

Probably going to give that to LeBron but yes, Jokic is up there for sure.

Damn and here I was thinking Quickleys floater needed some work. Pretty impressive.

A lot of folks got that impression because several of his misses were waaaaay off.

I'm biased against the floater because it's such a bad shot by analytics. I'd say there's 5 or less pgs in the league who should shoot them with regularity and IQ is one of them. Ppl tend to love them until their team acquires a player who shoots them often.

My guess is that IQ's floater will ALWAYS bug ppl even when he's top 5 in efficiency. Jokic and doncic floaters are different because of their size. For guys like Maxey and IQ....the floater is more of a bail-out shot for the offense. If you can hit them in the high 40s....it's a decent shot to resort to when the other options don't work out. And it's also a decent shot when you've recognized a teammate gained good rebound position. Floater rebounds tend to reward good rebounding positioning more than any other shot. Higher arcs and no rotation/spin make the rebounds land closer to the rim.

[Appostis]

It's amazing seeing people freak out when someone says the guy has all star potential.

[Thaddy]

I'm more confident in him or even RJ becoming all stars than OG.

I guess he could have more output but at that efficiency what is everyone complaining about?

The tone seems to be overwhelming disappointment so far, he'll be fine and maybe an Allstar in a few yrs

[Westside Gunn]

My worry is with the reliance on the three point shot, he may just end up being another Gary Trent/Terrence Ross. If the 3 isnt falling, the player is pretty much ineffective.

A mid ranger would really help. I want IQ to be our future Lowry.

Yeah, this has been my trouble with IQ so far as well.

For what it's worth, I like his chances at being a top tier PG with us but as of right now, offensively he's just a 3pt shooter and fast break guy. In the playoffs, that's simply not going to fly. Would really like to see him get to and score at the rim in the half court or get to the midrange and stick it there as well
