He was 4-6 from behind the arc in the last game. He's shooting 39% from behind the arc this season (on 4 attempts per game). I'd say that's very productive.


Okay maybe productive wasnt the word. But rather than being a 6'9-6'10 pf and working on your post game on each end of the court, they try to become 3 point specialists and I feel its handicaps them getting to their true potential. This doesnt only go for Ibaka.

He's right though. The more popular Ibaka got in OKC, the more finesse he became as a player. It's not a coincidence that his blocks/rebs per game started nosediving as his 3 point attempts started inclining. He's not nearly as imposing as he once was. On top of that, I've always felt like he lies about his age
He's averaging 7 rebounds in 30.9 minutes this season (8.3 rebounds per 36 mins - which is in line with most of his years in OKC), while attempting 4 threes a game. His blocks have taken a dip, but that's mostly due to him having different roles on defense now (especially guarding out on the perimeter more often, and not primarily in the paint), and more responsibility on offense. He's still contesting 11.5 shots per game in only 31 minutes, which puts him near the top of the league. Not to mention he defended more shots than anyone in the league last season, besides Draymond -

If hes shooting 4/6 from 3 hes not handicapping anything tho...He had 11 FGAs that werent 3s,and he had 12 boards this narrative just aint fitting homie

This thread should really be about Valanciunas. There were signs that he was turning the corner in the playoffs last season, but as we can see that was all a facade. Sorry excuse for a big man.

I dont think they were signs,he had a few good games against Whiteside who was clearly injured in that series....Hes never produced consistently to make any knowledgeable viewer think hes turned or about to turn a corner....
