It’s almost like efficiency, defense, and averages don’t matter.
Availability is important, but that’s all these stats really tell us… RJ has been great at being available.
I’m rooting for RJ, but I don’t think you’re making some great argument for RJs value.
Aaaaaaandyy
He starts even when he goes through weeks/months of inefficiency. He also plays on a team with good players, which can make you look better and help stats like rebounds and assists improve – I call it the Mario Chalmers effect.
Also, who cares how he compares to his draft class. How does he compare to the rest of the league?

Unless you actively hurt the team on the court. RJ has a DARKO DPM of -1.4. Box score BPM of -3.1 last year. Not great.

Damn shame about Ja. Hope he pulls his shit together because he’s a great player

Zion having only played in 114 games is still a wild stat to me

I’m a huge RJ defender, but this is a really misleading argument.

Not when youre inefficient and turning the ball over and a shit defender. WOW SEVENTH IN ASSISTS IN YOUR DRAFT CLASS. lollllllll

So what? Ever since RJ was drafted Knicks fans have been bending over backwards trying to prove how wonderful he is. I just don’t see it. I’ve said it over and over he just doesn’t have the fire that great players al seem to have. He has been improving somewhat but I doubt he will ever live up to the hype or even make an all-star team.

Ok? Darius Bazley is 5th and he’ll probably be out of the league in the next 2 years

Crazy people still talking bad about RJ after the playoffs he just had
LazyLeadz
He’s not good

For every mind numbingly stupid RJ hate post that is created, an equivalent support post must be created. It is destiny

Sort that exact same list by BPM sand he’s 30th in the class and sort by value over replacement player and he is 53rd out of 58. This was the 3rd pick
He is accumulating points rebounds and assists because he’s playing the most minutes in the draft class despite all advanced stats showing him to be a deeply negative player

“Hate” = listing his garbage efficiency stats objectively

The best ability is availability
Sometimes you have to appreciate what you have.
