When you have 20 more possession than your opponent....the offens raning is irrelevent as can be.
And you didn't say the Magic's offense was "somewhat below-average but they make up for it in steals/offensive rebounding and extra chances", you said it was elite. Their offense is clearly not elite.
19th in points/possession
19th in points/game
27th in 3pt percentage
28th in 3pt makes
23rd in FT percentage
And the Magic have gotten up fewer than three more FGAs a game than their opponents (+49 over 17 games).
Scoring is not an issue
Watch a game

"Everyone eats" offenses (19th in the league, mind) can explain why someone doesn't score in volume that much, but it doesn't address why the guy is not particularly efficient with the shots/chances he does get.elartman1973 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 27, 2023 5:08 pm Magic go 12 deep.

His TS+ (because of 2s and 1s) is 99.
That's below-average, basically average.
If he's average efficiency on a super-loaded team, that means his true ability efficiency-wise at present is probably a bit below-average.

You're scrambling guy. Give it a rest. He's solid and getting better and better. Gets to the line 7 times a game too. He's a sophomore and you act like he's in his prime. He just turned 21 last week.Bush4Ever. wrote: ↑Mon Nov 27, 2023 5:15 pmHis TS+ (because of 2s and 1s) is 99.

He's a superstar in the making.
Watch a game not bits and pieces and highlights. He's very unselfish. Team first and focused on D now.

But he's definitely not a top 50 player in the NBA *today*. He's arguably not a top 100 player.
When he starts peaking, that's when the leaves for LA or another premium franchise.

He's not that kind of player. These guys don't draft those types...
Look at siakim, and giannis...same guys drafted them.
He has no reason to go anywhere and he's not even the heart and soul of the team.

You've only had two legit Tier-1 superstars (superstars who can swing a team to major winning through their own efforts) in 35 years.
They both went to LA.

If he trends into the megastar you say he is (or even a tier below that), he'll have a variety of options.
It's not a coincidence absolutely no superstar has voluntarily gone to Orlando in NBA history.

You just don't get it.
Team first
Orlando is great and no superstars were even offered anything during tank rebuild years. They go to good teams with potential. City is irrelevent.
Stop with this stupidity and trying to discredit and act like this is anything remotely close to the past.
Players gravitate to other great players not cities.
And we have great players who will be even greater.
