Patterson and Roberson to start? LMFAO

[hardenASG13]

Hopefully Paul George makes a complaint to management, that if they want him to stay, get a competent 2 guard. Seems like he doesn't mind calling out crap teammates.

He's got a long list to go through before he gets to Roberson. He'll start with Grant, McDermott, Kanter and Semaj. After those four are gone then we can start to worry about upgrade the good players.

Yea , kanter doesn't play his position though, and is at least a top tier post scorer. And the other guys aren't relied on to play 30 plus minutes a game. I know nothing about Hamilton, but assuming he must be better than semaj. Hopefully his signing means semaj is gone completley.

Here's your "net rating" for Roberson...negates 5-7 points defensively but costs the team 14-16 offensively over his 32 minutes of playing time per game. Missing multiple shots every game any remotely good shooter would make, forcing other players (namely Russ) to take shots because they don't want to pass to him, crippling the spacing offensively because his defender is not even guarding him which clogs the lane and kills any flow the offense might have and also the huge advantage his defender has in not expending any energy whatsoever which allows them to be much more effective on offense. That doesn't even mention that Roberson makes the team's transition defense worse since he is making the team less efficient offensively. Yep, that's right...he actually makes the team worse defensively because he helps give the other team more transition baskets.

For 2016/17 OKC were 1st in defensive transition . FG% - 48.4 , EFG% - 54.2 %

LMAO. Hilarious stats bro. Like I said, I watch almost every single game all year and it doesn't take a genius to figure out that Roberson clearly makes the team much less efficient offensively which is going to lead to more missed baskets, hence more transition opportunities for the opposing teams. He absolutely makes the team worse in transition defense and you can post a stat about them being the best transition defensive team of all time and it's completely irrelevant. The more terrible offensive players you have on your team the worse your transition defense is going to be. That's the irony of Roberson is that not only does his defense not really make an impact because teams can simply run pick and rolls and highs screens until he's out of the play like Houston did but he actually makes a very important part of your defense worse. It's really not a difficult concept to understand.

So u got nothing but chuckles and the eye test and on those grounds u disregard a stat that showed OKC were top in defensive transition with the lowest fg% and efg%.
It seems that something quite simple, is actually a difficult concept for u to understand.
