And when the play-offs roll around their Dwight Powell schemes take 15 seconds: Stop the lob pass. The end. The only times we won play-off series with Dwight was when the whole team shot the lights out for a few rounds until the Warriors ran a lay-up/Looney abuse drill on us in the WCFs.
Advanced stats need to be put into context and they can´t account for everything. You wouldn´t win five regular season games with five Dwight Powell, even if they are all advanced stats winning players.
There is some truth to this, but if you told me I could get a center that can provide a positive impact for 15-20 minutes a game in the regular season, but will more limited in the playoffs for one million over the min, I would take it. That is not even taking into account the character aspect of it.
