Do you not watch the Lakers play? He is the 6man...He doesn't even start. When he is on the floor he is with the bench with D-League esque players. Tarik Black and Brandon Ingram. Of course he has the highest usage rate. He is the best player on the floor! You clearly just watching stats and not watching games
Tell yourself that if you must. :smhkobe:

Head coach....this decline is really exposing Dwane Casey on a level that you have to talk about it....

According to league sources, the Raptors have been actively involved discussions for at least three power forwards: Serge Ibaka of Orlando, the Nuggets’ Danilo Gallinari and the Bulls’ Taj Gibson. Toronto has collected a stockpile of young assets — Norman Powell, Bruno Caboclo, Jakob Poeltl, Pascal Siakam and Fred VanVleet are all 23 or younger — and the Raptors hold their own first-round draft pick, plus the Clippers’ pick, this season.

But Toronto has played hardball when it comes to acquiring power forward help. Caboclo does not figure to be part of any trade discussions, as he has been a project the team wants to complete itself. A source also said that Toronto has also long resisted the idea of trading sixth man Terrence Ross. The Raptors have been loath to mortgage the future entirely for players such as Gallinari, Gibson or Ibaka, all of whom can be free agents next summer (Gallinari has a player option worth $16 million, and could opt in for that final season).

The 6
A real starting power forward
Size on the wing
Defensive rebounding
Consistent defensive effort

Ibaka addresses the first
Tucker addresses the second
They both help address the third and fourth

Well done Masai
