I think McDaniels has a really low plus minus because he turns the ball over a lot for having such a low usage rate

Yeah, he's young and he's not ever gonna be like Durant or anything, but he's making a nice step forward. He is the Wolves best on ball defender he just does stupid stuff too much on offense.

To PJ's credit, he has a tremendous true shooting percentage this year... on 3 FGAs per game

He's also something of a Zelig type journeyman who plays defense but for contending or outright championship teams like Jae Crowder, but is well past his prime. He has that dog in him. Crowder is much better though

PJ Tucker has never been great and never been bad. All playoff teams need like four off-ball forwards to plug in more than twenty and less than thirty minutes of quality defense. Not getting completely exposed by modern offenses and not getting repeatedly selected in the isolation is a skill.

Of course Jae Crowder is a little better, he's a little bigger and he can a get a little more offense on drawing maybe one more foul shot a game. Neither of them give up bad fouls and neither of them cost their team the game. You'll need them.

Warriors 40pt 1st quarter over Houston off 20 by Captain Klay (6/7fg, 4/5thr)

playing with pace. rockets have pretty good shooting as well but the kids can't keep up while the dub defense congealed for an initial 11-0 run.

I'm tired of pretending Crowder has ever been anything other than a mediocre role player. he has benefited hugely in terms of advanced stats and at-a-glance appearance by playing next to Booker, CP3, Bridges, and Ayton on the Suns.

Ok but crowder is definitely a valuable mediocre role player. It feels like 80% of the league doesn't have a playable corner 3 and d player.

if hes your 5th or 6th guy filling out a lineup that's totally fine, yeah. good teams can always use a plug-and-play high minutes, low volume vet with length

he definitely doesn't view himself through that lens of course

His advanced stats aren't really very good, basically what you'd expect from a guy who has started about half the games he has played.

He was genuinely the second best player on the Celtics when Isaiah Thomas was their king. He's a perfect 3 and D role player, the kind of guy who can guarantee a win when he breaks out and scores over 20

Yeah you'll generally win if your 4th or 5th best player scores 25. He doesn't attack the rim and he's a career 34.5% guy from three. You play him for the defensive length at the perimeter. If he's your 2nd option on offense you are hosed.

The Mavs just aren't very good this year, IMO. Their record right now is probably better than it will be at the end of the season. Luka has played some bonkers games but when he's not firing on all cylinders their poor roster construction and lack of non-Luka creation is incredibly evident.
