28 = peak performance, plus or minus.

Skills don't vanish, legs/knees/etc shouldn't necessarily be on a noticeable decline until ~32 years old. I wouldn't expect a decline in shooting until then.

Yes that’s what I mean - this is to be assumed his new normal, or a decline from his career that isn’t really close to what he’s done this year? Big spread and it’s not like he’s some 23 year old.

The only chance of that will be if Tatum doesn’t sign his next extension.

Players with 50+ blocks and 100+ made threes this season:

Brook Lopez
Kristaps Porzingis
P.J. Washington
Derrick White

White is the only guard on the list.

Legit one of the worst in our franchise’s history. ONLY a championship with him as a major reason for winning would make this palatable. We’re going to feel the ramifications of this for a decade

Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

awful game by White. Instrumental in the loss, getting cooked on defense and a zero on offense. Had a chance to prove his fanboys right with Jaylen out but nope. Exposed. Fraudulent.

There's a new article on 538 about DWhite and how and why he is so valuable and ranked so highly in advanced stats. Good read for everyone but perhaps especially for one of us lol.
