A good 3rd option on a team 

Post#1 » by BaDaBo » Sat Feb 13, 2016 12:24 pm

In recent topics there has been a certain disappointment in Dragic. Some even went so far to want him traded. Now I agree he doesn't play to what was probably expected from him from fans ( why should be discuses in another topic this is not the goal of this one), but it got me thinking...what kind of numbers do the N*3 guys on other teams put up ( I just went trough east teams I can add west later if you guys want), and how does he compare. Some might say Whiteside is our 3rd option so I added his numbers too. I focused on points, FGA and FG% because other stats are too position based ( FG% is too but it does show efficiency ) and added the % of team FGA they take. What I'm asking is how do our guys compare to the rest of the league? Does getting a new third option necessarily mean that he will perform better than who we already have without mayor role changes.

I won't add names of players or teams to the stats (except to Miami) so there is no bias

So what do you guys think?

Spoiler:
If someone guesses which team if which -> gets a +1, a funny cat video for guessing all

Spoiler:
This is not a pro/anti Dragic/Whiteside topic, try to keep that in mind.Thank you.
