There's a post right above yours you should maybe look at if you have a sample size problem. The difference between 57% and 54.6% isn't all the significant.

You were posting a stat from Okafor's 22 minutes of playing time this season and in the same post mentioning Giannis not looking as good over a full season. It's okay to have a laugh sometimes.

Question about all these declined 4th year options: do these players become RFA or UDFA at the end of the season? Does the team hold their bird rights?

Yeah, I copped to not noticing the time, but the fact that he's not inefficient isn't tied to just this season. Okafor's other problems are big issues, no doubt, but scoring efficiency isn't really one of them.

What about the difference between 25.8% and 9.0%?

Not tracking on this...? Giannis had a great season last season but his jump this season is way more than even small-sample-size Okafor.

You cited that Okafor and Cousins' TS differences were those "insignificant" jumps (they might not actually be statistically insignificant but I don't have the time to figure that out) so I posted his and Cousins' AST% from the same year.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

According to an angry rando on twitter, two of those free throws were in garbage time too.

Yeah it was after the benches were mostly emptied.

It was a game where Detroit wasn't driving a lot, and when they did the Lakers didn't really challenge it. I'm not really sure if it was on purpose or not, I wasn't watching that closely to be honest. Jackson finally attacked the rim when someone was actually in the paint right at the end and either didn't get the message that they were supposed to concede the basket or successfully rotated for the first time.

I don't think so but Pop also just sent my Latvian son Davis Bertans there which pisses me off
The kid has swagger and he can play, I hate that he's been in Pop's doghouse ever since he got into that Bucks altercation last season. I get sending derrick white to Austin cuz we have enough young guards as it is but you can't tell me there aren't totally minutes for Bertans rn :(

Oh, yeah no question. My sole point is Okafor can create offense that is reasonably efficient in respect to bigs. He has lots of other problems, but his skill has value and I think some of his downsides can be mitigated to the point where he is a worthwhile player.

Bulls should cut Portis for being a shithead, Niko for being a maybe-racist and sign Okafor.

I don't think he's lazy. Last year he looked slow and had bad instincts, but his attitude didn't look bad. I also don't think he had problems with teammates or anything. Plus Okafor could be throwing the organization under the bus right now but he has been saying the right things.

Portis and Niko have skills that can theoretically translate in today's NBA. I don't think Okafor has that. Plus he's lazy as poo poo no matter what he says. Guy is gassed 3 minutes in.

Okafor is handling this* all very maturely and that is admirable.


*this being that he is so dang bad at NBA basketball that he cannot see the court on a young team that is only a year removed from tanking. He is literally the worst defender I have ever seen, and his only skill, his low post game, is slow and terrible and gums up the whole flow of the offense. He also can’t rebound and he turns the ball over too much and he’s always winded and I hate it every time he palms the ball and waives it around.
