Might want to burn that "outfit" if he's superstitious. Had an o-fer game from the field last night.

Basically, what these charts demonstrate is that Andrew Wiggins is not just a bad but an abysmal scorer from pretty much everywhere on the floor except the left corner (on the right side of Kirk Goldsberry’s graphic, which shows a flipped view of the court). If you’re feeling generous you can extend this to include deep two-point range along either side of the baseline, places where it’s bad to take shots unless you’re world-historically good at making them. Andrew Wiggins is not.

[...]

The holistic figures are even worse, as befits a player who takes a lot of shots, makes a historically low percentage of them, and contributes almost nothing else of note.

* Wiggins’s Player Efficiency Rating (PER) is 11.9; if it holds up, that will be nearly a full point worse than the next-worst PER (12.7, Klay Thompson in 2012-13) by any of the 188 players on the aforementioned list.

* Wiggins’s -0.6 VORP (Value Over Replacement Player) will be the worst on that list by a healthy margin; before now, Devin Booker in 2016-17 (-0.2) was the only player ever to have recorded a negative number for VORP in a season in which he attempted at least 1,200 shots and 350 threes.

* Wiggins’s .012 Win Shares per 48 minutes is less than half that of the next-worst player (Isaiah Rider, 1994-95!) out of those 188.

What I am saying here is that Andrew Wiggins is not just having a bad season, and he is not just an inefficient scorer. Andrew Wiggins is having one of the worst all-around seasons by any high-usage player in the modern history of the NBA. That’s not great.

I’m a big Wiggins guy, but I don’t think there’s an nba starter I wouldn’t take over him right now.

Strange. He needs to talk to Rudy Gay for advice.

He was a superstar at KU but also a volume shooter.
His sesason was riddled with 2 for 12s and 3 for 11s and 7 for 21s.
I was hesitant for most of the 17 season to put Joshy over Wiggins but by the end, I think he had a better season here.

Speaking of Joshy.......

Oubs with 22 points and 5 boards in a win at Golden State.
Jacks had 7 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists.

Wayne had a Bools game high 18 points in a loss against the Pistons.

Svi - Any sightings of him? I know he was traded to the Pistons but can't find anything related to his being on the team these days.

Yesterday (Saturday)
Marcus had 19 & 11
Oubre 32 points
Jackson 19 points

[pdub]

That's a career high for Oubre.
His last 5: 22.2 PPG, 5.2 RPG, 1.6 SPG, 51% FG.

Is this the new Bill Self thread?

[Deleted User 183]

He should be so lucky.

Yesterday Joel with 40-15 with 6 assists and 3 steals.
Nice to see Frank get some clock. 4 points in 7 minutes.

I miss these guys!
