The TJ Warren Thread!

EJ said it last night, and I have been saying it all along. TJ's ability to catch the ball is amazing. He catches everything. I had said that TJ is the Larry Fitzgerald of the NBA, EJ said he could be a wide receiver. He not only catches, he can go from catch to shot in such little motion, and then his ability to adjust as he flies around the hoop is quite remarkable.

I love watching his game. In a league where it sees everyone only wants to launch bombs or throw down dunks, he is refreshing.

Warren's mid range is Durant-level... there I said it.

I'm surprise he misses some of those mid range shots.

He just needs a 3pt shot and he will be more celebrated.

I don't know about finding rhythm early though, as he started out this last game 2-7 and finished 13-20. I remember another game that was similar to that.

I think it used to be more the case that a slow start was a bad sign but it seems he doesn't let that impact him as much anymore. He will still have his occasional bad shooting game, but so do the other good scorers on the team.

Not a surprise at all, he’s our only other scoring option besides Booker so if he’s cold then it’s basically over for the Suns in that game.

I wonder what these splits look like for Booker as well.

Looking at Warren's stats could make an argument he's had a better season than Booker.

Per 30:
Warren - 19 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist / 111 O-Rating
Booker - 20 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists / 106 O-Rating

Warren also better in Steals, Blocks, Turnovers.

I know he's a secondary option who gets his shots on his own terms which helps his figures but he's right there on All-Star metrics if Booker is thought to be.
