DL2 gets all the attention here for his unexpected offensive efficiency paired with impressive defense. And I don’t want to take away from that. The kid is gonna be an all star. But his 1.8 scoring efficiency isn’t an outlier on this team. At the top you have amazing efficiency from:
Luka 1.5 (sc-eff per the worldwide leader in sports)
GW 1.7
DL2 1.8
DP 2.8 (outlier alert)
In the middle, vey strong performances from:
DJJ 1.3
Hardy 1.3
Timmy 1.3
Josh 1.3
Bringing up the caboose:
Slumping Kyrie 1.1
Exum 1.0
Maxi 0.8
Seth 0.8
Maybe it makes more sense than we realize, forcing the ball late in the 4th to our backup center?
Pessimism doesn’t make you smart, just pessimistic.
