It feels like this is taking missed games due to injury as underperforming which k don’t necessarily agree with
Rui got overpaid. Heās not a 16 mill/year player
Yeah, Iām not on the Rui train. But if he got minutes consistently. Him and DLo are the same in my eyes, they can score but the defense at times is garbage. DLo caught fire recently, but they are the same but in different positions.
This sub still gonna blame hamš
Not surprised, Dlo currently leads the team in plus minus, and if you look at 3 man lineup data, any groupings that include Austin, if you flip him with Dlo, the groups go from a constant net negative to a positive.
This passes the eye test
where are you getting someone putting up 15/5/5 for 8 M per year lol
I too can create a color coded bar graph with no explanation of how the data is used and how it is tallied to contract amount and I have more followers on my IRL twitter account. EPM is not the end all be all of metrics and is well known to favor stars over roleplayers. Go to the thread and look at every team posted. The players who score the most points are “valued” higher no matter their contract. Well, no shit. Stop the press. Call the president. Get the national guard on the line. Some random dude with 1500 followers on twitter cracked the code.
