I looked at the list of NBA scoring leaders, and Jaylen's 3.4 assists per game are indeed very low, especially for a perimeter player. I finally found a couple of other perimeter players on the list with low figures like that, at 3.8 and 3.0 -- and they were both ex-Celtics now playing for the Charlotte Hornets.

Rozier is similar to Brown in the finisher player mold. And he's been efficient shooting the ball this season.

Average passes received, passes made, and potential assists for current and former Cs:
Brown - 42.8 PRs, 30.2 PMs, 6.3 PAs
Rozier - 45.9 PRs, 36.2 PMs, 6.1 PAs

Tatum - 51.4 PRs, 49.9 PMs, 9.1 PAs
Gordo - 46.5 PRs, 45.9 PMs, 7.3 PAs

Hornets share the offensive load anyway. They're more egalitarian as Cs are more top-heavy. CHA have five guys with usage rates between 19% and 25%. Cs have 3 guys with usage rates between 28 and 30.

Seems like the Bucks aren't getting much attention this season but they've lost 4 in a row now.

they aren't good, and aren't winning a championship anytime soon. Assets gone.

Jrue's been hurt so their depth has been exposed

Crazy they went from the deepest team in the league to this in one offseason just so they could have an average starting point guard. But I guess that was the idea, to be better in the playoffs they didn't really need all that depth.

Wow, what a statement. If this player comes for free, we'll take him.

I rarely watch Orlando games, so I have no idea why he rarely gets played. a new team and a new start.

I would take my chances of Bamba > TT any day though.

Heat blew a 15th point lead in the 4th and lost AGAIN, they are a disaster, we're bad but they're worse.

Exactly! That guy is a legit big, that can hit the 3, block shots, and definitely play above the rim. Something that TT can’t do.

I could be wrong but I believe they don't even Have their 1st round draft pick this year, Unless its top 3 protected.

He did hit 5 3’s in a game last season, which is more than TT his whole career. Plus i’m sure if you get him the ball underneath, he would dunk that ****. TT just tosses the ball with his ugly semi hook.lol

Bamba is a project that needs more time to develop.

If the Celts are aiming for another deep playoff run then Bamba is not the answer.

TT has a higher career TS%. Mo Bamba is a 32 pct 3pt shooter. You don't want him taking threes.

Of course i don’t want to. I want our bigs to post up and bang inside, but the problem is our coach, wants bigs thar can shoot lol. I want our team to get a legit big that can contribute right now. Bamba is just an option to defend big guys down low, if we can’t trade for one. TT doesn’t even shoot 3’s. He has like 2 attempts his whole career lol.

I agree he is a project though. TT is so bad, any legit big would be an upgrade lol.
