    Interesting to see what each player does well in playmaking vs. what they struggle with.

    seems pretty glaring that our passing sucks.... lol
    thats what ive been saying for awhile - yet some folks want us to pass more... i dont get it...

    Our guys make lazy passes into the lanes...
    our guys dont move to the ball to receive the pass....
    when KD or whoever gets doubled they dont move to get the outlet pass...
    other than shooting defiecience i'd say passing is our biggest issue - thats where the turnovers come from...

    more specifically the lack of passing combined with the lack of player who can move with the ball. Funnily enough getting kd+dfs for green+DB was a downgrade in that department. It is like we didn’t get any passing but we also lost the penetration and on ball movement.

    Need a key to give a bigger breakdown what each of these mean because if I am going off english and eye test I feel like these values should be way lower. Does passing efficiency mean if a player converts on the pass? If so everyone's would be low no matter how good the pass is and how wide open the player was because our players are some of the worst shooters in the NBA.

    Or is it you actually don't have a clue of what you see on the basketball court?

    Hint: We know which one it is.

    How embarrassing.

    I think the stat I want to see most of all is off ball movement. You linked Amens who probably is the better of players for that stat. I bet the team as a whole rank very low though. Reeds stats doesn't meet the eye test compared to other players so either this isn't up to date or if it is then earlier in the season when he was adjusting tanked his stats compared to what he is now.

    The NBA’s new Video AI-based “Leverage” stat shows play-making (they call it shot creation)

    Amen is 2nd on the team — 24th in the league.

    Sengun is 9th in the league
