Low TS%

Yes but great interviews, great styles, great dunks, charitable, MVP trophy, first triple-double season since Oscar kind of outweigh this BS stat


And so charismatic. I find Russ terrifically entertaining. His one man wrecking ball show was must see TV. His biggest flaw in his prime was you could rope-a-dope him. I.e. force his tunnel vision when he was hot and tire him out trying to take over so he had nothing left in the clutch. That, moreso than efficiency, limited how high he flew.

In retrospect, we should have dubbed you TS% Eliot.

It's crazy how people were disrespecting him. I'm glad he's doing better.


He has a very “me against the world” type of play style. It doesn’t age well.

I actually think what he did, stepping back, acknowledging he needs help, playing more for the team, is more impressive.

Yeah i think he was facing his own mortality as a player and was trying to force things like he could when he was a kid. You can't play like that once you hit your 30s, especially with his skill set.

Growth is good.

Ausar Thompson is a human highlight, if he ever learns how to shoot he'll be a superstar

Cade's combination of high usage, historically bad efficiency and high turnover percentage is crippling for any offense.

He may be talented in a pure basketball sense but in terms of impact he's probably the worst offensive player in the whole league among high-usage players.

I really don't see it. I'd look to reduce his usage considerably or bring him off the bench once Bojan returns and gradually increase Ausar's (though nowhere near Cade's).

If they extend him this summer... oh boy.
