Cam Thomas is going to regress hard

[–] Snoo-1474@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Idk about that.

Sure 33 pts isn’t sustainable but he can score and he’s proven that everytime he’s gotten big minutes . However last season, his coach kept benching him for defense or lack of passing. If he’s given consistent minutes I see him averaging 25ppg on decent efficiency.

[–] silverfang45@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah but he also has always been this kinda player to an extent.

He's amazing at scoring and always has been able to go off, his issues are everything else but scoring.

If he does start every game it wouldn't surprise me of he average like 25.

Curry 3rd in FG% while taking 66% of his shots from behind the arc is wild.

[–] Cockhero43@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The skyfucker fucks again

[–] laterdude@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Not so fun fact: PG Scoot Henderson is averaging both more fouls and TOVs than assists per game.

[–] SaltyLonghorn@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

You forgot lotto pick leaders. Checking in!

[–] Kwilly462@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I don't appreciate the (lol) near Cam's name, sir

[–] kokukojuto33@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

If we call blocks and steals stocks, how do we call turnovers+fouls?

Elite numbers of fournovers from Scoot

These numbers make me realize Luka could be wasting his career on the Mavs right now, he’s doing too much for them. How many more seasons of big numbers and non-contention will he put up with?

[–] Brotkruemel_@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

How did Cunningham get 3.8 and Ausar Thompson and Marcus Smart 3.5 Fouls? Guessing their average was accidentally also put in their total?

[–] babysamissimasybab@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The chance of Luka, Sabonis, and Haliburton staying atop their respective categories seems pretty high.

[–] JaysoniNZ@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Steph is incredible.

[–] traw056@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Chet at 60% fg and 62% from 3 would be up there if you lowered the threshold cowards

[–] Far-Asparagus6416@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I should just remove the 3pt threshold so we can all accept Cason "Who the fuck is steph curry" Wallace as our true GOAT shooting 83.3% from deep
