OG in half court offense



Good Morning Pacer Nation,

Trust me… I like OG as a player for certain.
However, it’s not without it’s flaws. We certainly play in a face pace, and OG fits a fast pace.
We are absolutely terrible in half-court offense. With that said, OG is one of the worst half court offensive players I’ve ever seen

Above you’ll see Grant Afseth tweets breaking down a multitude of shot creation categories.

At first or second worse in every one, OG is right there. This is the same person who wants a bigger role than TOR gives him.

Basically, post up plays? Second to last
Dribble Jumpers? Last
FG% on drives? Last
Pull ups? Last
PNR ball handler? 4th from last

If he wants out of Toronto because he wants a bigger role, I’d hope we steer clear of him.

He’d be a nice role player, and having a 3 & D player’s Bird Rights is valuable because they’re always overpaid, but he is a 3 & D guy.
Personally, even if the asking price is moving down 3 spots in the draft the price is too high for us. Our half-court offense needs help, and if he’s leaving because he wants a bigger role we can’t give him that. It would be a horrible idea.
