yeah i'm sure the % goes up. but even having that on your resume is super troubling to me. people are comparing him to guys like KD. KD is incapable of having a 30-game stretch where he shoots 69% from the line. he's just too good a shooter for that. - ThreadSky

Yeah he has a smoothness in his scoring which is alluring. But KD might be top 5 all time, and has extremely my good feel for the game, and yeah could probably shoot 60% FT with eyes closed .

for sure. and i just wish there was *one* meaningful statistical indicator that suggested he was going to be elite on offense. But i can't find it.

Scoring efficiency. FT%. 3P%. FT frequency. Assists. Team Performance. Paint touches.

They're all mediocre to awful.

And the thing is...I'm all about Best Player Available. So all the stuff about whether he fits or doesn't with the current Sixers doesn't matter to me. I just need something in the statistical profile that pops.

Yeah I think the rational is simply when he looks good he looks really good, and he’s only 19 years old. Is very athletic. It’s a hard sell for me 2. My least favorite kind of player, and also the kind the sixers need least atm. will say there is something there that looks special that I can shake.

*can't shake. but happy if they go somewhere else.
