[Bledswole]

His athleticism doesn't matter if he's not playing better. What is the bullshyt

Bruh shutup.

You nikkas come in here hella late, Dragic is playing better than every PG this year with maybe the exception of two Ive admitted that.

But career wise he not better than Russ.

This season Westbrook is 88-159 (55.3%) on shots at the rim, Goran is 181-261 (69.3%). Even more surprising is the fact 44 of those attempts for Goran are assisted, while 42 (almost half) of Russell's attempts were assisted. So Goran isn't just better at finishing at the rim, he's better at creating a shot at the rim off the dribble, and still finishing at a higher percentage.


He is considerably better at finishing at the rim than Russell, you seem to think being more athletic means you're automatically a better finisher. Tony Parker could never jump as high as Russ, but prime Tony and Westbrook aren't even in the same ballpark when it comes to finishing in the lane.

The man has spoken

Russ's playoff numbers>>>>> Dragics

The man has spoken

Spoken nothing because using that same analogy Kendall Marshall is a better 3pt shooter than Klay Thompson.

Im not arguing this years stats,buddy said Dragic is a better finisher than Westbrook period.

 

[GoddamnyamanProf]

No sir

Kendall Marshall has shot 200 less threes than Thompson but has a higher percentage, same exact scenario between Dragic and Westbrook on layups last year.

So who's the better 3pt shooter?

The ratios are not the same and the fg% discrepancy is not the same. The situations are not the same. Klay is struggling and is only shooting 3% less than Marshall on 4 times as many attempts. This is also only based on this season, which Marshall has only played partially. Thats not comparable at all to Dragic's fgp being over 10% better around the rim when he and Russ both have over 400 attempts. And these trends have been consistent every year of their careers. And Dragic creates more of his attempts at the rim himself as @Malta pointed out. Every piece of data is in Dragic's favor.

This is ironic because Ive seen you defend Goran in arguments with posters that underrate him despite all statistical evidence. Now you're doing the same thing.

 

[Brock Landers]

at using potential skill levels when we're debating players at this very moment, Dragic makin quite a few people mad

Where you keep getting that 400 number from with Dragic? Dragic only attempted 265 layups last year to Westbrooks 478

Im comparing Dragic this year to Westbrook last year (since hes barely played this year.) I could see your attempt # argument if there was a huge discrepency but there isnt. Dragic's high fg% around the rim has remained consistent even with taking way more attempts and being the focal point of the offense this year. Theres still 20-some games left so he's likely to finish with 500+ attempts around the rim with a conversion rate in the high 60's.

I made a thread for the man Im not arguing what he's doing this year, Im arguing the fact you say Goran through the years finish better than Westbrook.

Last year Westbrook attempted 478 layups making 58% of them
Dragic attempted 269 attempted layups making 66% of them

You not getting that one bruh thats over 200 more layups Russ attempted to Dragics.
