Common Killian Hayes L
No GiannAss? ✅
Killian Hayes disrespect? ✅
Three scrappy players with a real nose for the ball in the top 3? ✅
Josh Giddey Slander? 🚨‼️⁉️🚨
Killin me Hayes
Like all things, we all pass through the hands of Jokic, where we are directed we can only hope. When Jokic passes me through his grace, I hope I end up as an Aaron Gordon slam, or maybe a MPJ contested 3.
I’m surprised Harrison Barnes isn’t bottom 5. He’s been ass to start the year.
6th worst is Jakob Poeltl. That surprised me.
Deadre Ayton is tied for 7th worst with 4 other players (one of them being Reggie Jackson which didn’t surprise me).
It’s a Poole party with no water.
Norm has always been streaky, no doubt he’ll get back to form soon
JaBusti has been pretty bad.
People really though Josh Giddey was good
Lakers beat the allegations phew
steph and luka’s offensive raptor is actually bonkers this season lmao
also defensive raptor sucks ass
Jordan Poole has come full circle. Back to the bottom of RAPTOR.
I think Jokic has been under the radar this season because he’s just not taking a lot of shots but he’s still playing quite well
There’s a reason Denver are 7-3 while other projected contenders are mostly shitting the bed
Why is Jokic always at the top of these advanced stats? You’d think he’d be outside the top 5 because a ton of our points are coming from MPJ and Murray now instead coming from Jokic. But no, not only is he top 5, is the top 1 in this stat.
His assists have increased but it’s only +1.4 increase from 7.9 last year to 9.3 this season.
people been saying conley was cooked for a few years but he’s balling again. gobert is uniquely good at neutralizing his own teammates.
So attempted murder???
Not listening to these garbage advanced stats until they correct them and stop saying Joking is the best defender in the league
Dejounte HIM Murray
Bro chill yo ass out fr
Wiseman isn’t bottom 5? thats improvement right there folks
Oh Josh. King of the “13 points on 11 shots” special
DJ!!
Don’t really know how this stat works, but last season Jokic ended up on 23.9, with second place (Tatum) on 15.8. So this stat absolutely loves Jokic
Weird bc Norm Powell still feels like that guy who regardless of his team’s performance will come in and kill your team
Jordan Poole is like a player in basketballGM. He had increased ratings in all categories on his contract season, once you give him a big contract, he suddenly dips!
elite company for killian
to me Poole is obviously dealing with some shit mentally from the Draymond situation(and the refs on his ass now for the carries), I wouldn’t say it’s tied to his contract and dipping. His joy is gone at the moment.
Dread it, run from it, the Jokic loving advanced stats arrive all the same.
I’m just happy it looks like we’ve had our first superstar that isn’t lebron
Surprising that Jokic shows up in both the best offensive and defensive Raptors
