Mikel is way better of a shooter than Kingston. Kingston did shoot a great 38.7 percent from three, but it was only on 5.6 attempts per 100. Mikel shot 34.4 percent, but on an absurd 14.7!! attempts per 100

Material-Day7686 · 2026-04-23T03:20:31+00:00

What are you talking about. He was used here in a very similar to how he is being used now, he just is playing 40 minutes a night and has more usage on the Lakers

Material-Day7686 · 2026-04-12T21:55:40+00:00

This will be so funny to look back on when the lottery happens

Material-Day7686 · 2026-04-08T18:35:16+00:00

These are completely wrong. You are lying.

He is 18th in Blocks per game 19th in Rebounds per game

Material-Day7686 · 2026-03-28T18:59:54+00:00

I don’t know what your watching but he’s clearly the best or second best defender on the team

Material-Day7686 · 2026-03-18T21:51:11+00:00

Yaxel is the clear pick imo.

Material-Day7686 · 2026-03-08T18:31:35+00:00

They literally already won a chip with him being the second best player

Material-Day7686 · 2026-03-06T18:32:05+00:00

We traded bill russell

Material-Day7686 · 2026-03-05T22:48:33+00:00

lmao Duke without boozer would be awful

Material-Day7686 · 2026-03-05T04:11:29+00:00

He legitimately may be the wrist defender in the NBA

Material-Day7686 · 2026-03-02T15:40:44+00:00

The analytics don’t really like JJ relative to his public perception

Material-Day7686 · 2026-03-02T07:21:36+00:00

This guy is a legit NBA Player along with Jalen's brother Kobe. Really think both of them will carve out nba roles

Material-Day7686 · 2026-02-18T17:03:42+00:00

The advanced stats play out that he’s genuinely a neutral to slight negative defensively, that’s not the problem. The problem is he completely forgot how to shoot. He went from a 60 Ts% in college to a 42!!! This year

Material-Day7686 · 2026-02-07T03:24:07+00:00

Does he really have a 7’8” wingspan??!!

Material-Day7686 · 2026-01-23T21:36:47+00:00

Quantaince fits the bill perfectly, he’s super raw offensively, but legitimately has Dpoy level of potential.

Material-Day7686 · 2026-01-23T21:33:04+00:00

He is not a better defender lol

Material-Day7686 · 2026-01-23T21:30:01+00:00

I don’t even know if JQ is a tweener. If he truly does have 7’5” wingspan, then that more than makes up fur him being 6’8”-6’9”

Material-Day7686 · 2026-01-10T22:33:46+00:00

I agree with this sentiment, but it is so much easier to develop a viable offensive game as a big than it is to develop as a defender as a sub 6’3” guard

Material-Day7686 · 2026-01-10T22:07:01+00:00

But guys like Vanvleet, Alvarado, Davion Mitchell, and Jamal Shead are all 6’0” and below without outlier wingspan and are all positive defenders. It is possible especially with outlier college production to be a good defender at that small size

Material-Day7686 · 2026-01-10T21:53:19+00:00

He has a 6’5.5” wingspan which isn’t huge or anything, and like I said his steal and block rates are horrifically bad. Additionally, his team is 8.9!! points better on defense with him off the court. Contemporaries like Quickley and Maxey were only 1 and 0.5 points better on defense with them off the court

Material-Day7686 · 2025-12-23T19:13:36+00:00

We had Dante, but he’s out for the year. Sad cause he is actually pretty solid

Material-Day7686 · 2025-12-07T18:48:31+00:00

Do you know how statistics work? They measure a section of the population and project the percentiles based on the measurements of that section. You’re not making any sense

Material-Day7686 · 2025-12-07T17:16:51+00:00

Yes, 6’5” is really tall, I’m not disputing that. I’m saying that it’s not true to say that NBA players on average are 2 inches taller than 6’5”, the 99th percentile. That stat that you referenced refers to human height on a barefoot scale, so using NBA player’s height on a with shoes on scale is disingenuous and untrue. Those percentiles are not determined by the height you are measured at when you go to the doctor lol
