So, if I'm right on that, you literally just compared him to one of the few stars in his ts% neighborhood who ive told you is overrated on several occasions (Edwards) who has a better ts% than Fox.
And your not understanding the issue that Fox going from .599 to .567 ts% is not good at all, and central to Fox's game as a scorer, as you go to lengths to defend him. His scoring doesn't help if its not at a league average ts%, does it? There are really very few offensive stars in his neighborhood of ts%
HAHAHA I love it when you go out of your way to make petulant little threats. Like it means anything here anyway. Just on that, is there 1 good Sacramento Kings player?
This is how RealGM "rates" Sacramento Kings players. How many players do you see other users create trades where they are bringing in a Kings player?? This is outside of the division threads or the what should they do threads. None? Its just been an observation of mine for around a year now.
Anyway, back to the Boogie programming. Your whole argument is about efficiency shooting the ball. Right?
If you strictly use TS% then yes he had a drop and isn't up to scratch, but that is your ENTIRE argument about the game of basketball. Maybe if Fox, who should be a #2 scorer, had a player that could at least take on some of the load on a consistent basis this might not be as much of an issue for you.
The reason I showed efficiency as an offensive stat, where he is rated as good is because it encompasses the entire offense, not just shooting the ball, which when you don't have a competent #2 it puts massive pressure on and opposition teams know this. That hurt Fox immensely this season whereas the year before the offensive game plan covered up a lot of weaknesses. It's the reason why Brown has continually said the Kings need to improve on the offensive side of the ball.
More than I have mentioned FT shooting harming his TS% and he needs to get better from there, a lot better. Not only did he shoot poorly from the FT line, but he didn't get there as much as he, almost, ever has. There are reasons for that, but you know, we went through that during the season didn't we.
Instead of taking a leap with his 3pt shooting it didn't translate into the FT line. Had he made improvements to get to 80% then his TS% not only recovers, it elevates him. He absolutely should be held accountable for that, but to take that and churn out the rubbish that we get here is ridiculous.
You know what Fox will do though? Actually work on his shot this summer with an actual shooting coach. Anyone that has shown improvement like he did from the 3pt line should be applauded, particularly when he takes the odd poor one from there (grrr). Instead you want to try and poke holes in his game ad nauseam. It's annoying and it's probably why you feel I "go at lengths to defend him".
He doesn't need defending, his game is there for all to see. And it's extremely good. Don't forget, you're the only one in this world that believes he is getting paid $50m. Do you actually think you're judging him fairly when you are trying to put out there that he is making $50m.
