Now imagine this data once the Gafford/Lively rotation is in full swing
Most FGA/g as pick n roll ball-handler:
1. Brunson: 9.2 FGA—52.5 EFG%
2. Trae: 8.8—53.4%
3. Luka: 8.2—62.0%
4. Cade: 8.0—49.3%
5. Mitchell: 7.9—51.9%
6. Lillard: 7.6—50.7%
7. Haliburton: 7.34—59.7%
8. Simons: 7.3—49.8%
9. Maxey: 7.2—48.8%
10. Rozier: 6.5—58.2%PnR Buckets pic.twitter.com/KqFH01gOcl

Its 2024 and dude played pnr with a rookie, DP and Grant. Im glad we are putting legit players around him. Took way too long.
Luka spamming PnR all game and still having lower FGA than Brunson and Trae is just a testament to his passing and decision making. No shot at Brunson and Trae who are great offensively in their own right.
But you don’t get to 62% EFG% without making teams fear more than just Luka and the roller
Terry Rozier? Huh? I was not familiar with your game.
I added a couple of extra columns here — PPG and PPSP — derived from the FGA/G and eFG% given. Note PPSP (Points per shooting possession) where the PnR ball-handler shoots here is ignoring any FTs that might be awarded of course. Anything above 1 is great — Luka’s 1.24 for a half-court play would be insanely effective even with FTs included.
|Player|FGA/G|eFG%|PPG|PPSP|
|:-|:-|:-|:-|:-|
|Brunson|9.2|52.5|9.66|1.050|
|Trae|8.8|53.4|9.40|1.068|
|Luka|8.2|62|10.17|1.240|
|Cade|8|49.3|7.89|0.986|
|Mitchell|7.9|51.9|8.20|1.038|
|Lillard|7.6|50.7|7.71|1.014|
|Haliburton|7.34|59.7|8.76|1.194|
|Simons|7.3|49.8|7.27|0.996|
|Maxey|7.2|48.8|7.03|0.976|
|Rozier|6.5|58.2|7.57|1.164|
Jesus lukas efficiency with the amount of attempts is crazy
