I'm not going to really argue, but Scase just said RJ was an inefficient scorer after putting up 61.5 percent TS on over 20 points a game. That's a pretty wild take. I know the counter argument is 32 game sample size, but with a changed outlook on what type of shots to take, where his shots were coming from in the offence he looked great and he once again looked really good and efficient in the offseason playing for Canada. The dude just turned 24. That's generally the time frame when players show who they are. Let's see what he does this season. But if he puts up 23 per game, 4 assists on 60 percent TS are we still going to bash him or will that be good enough? Just curious.
Yeah, and until he can do it for at least a single full season, he is still an inefficient player. 32 games vs 297, this isn't a hard concept.
Bargs had his stretch, Precious had his, and a plethora of other players have had hot streaks. None of them should get hyped until they prove it for an extended period of time.
RJ putting up 22/6/4 on 55/39/63 splits is an all star player, which would be in line for a bigger contract than IQ. Would you give RJ 35mil/yr for 5 years based on a 32 game sample size?
