    seeing beautiful basketball right now the second Dickerson goes out. Is he efficienct most of the time? Yes

    But the starters expend so much energy constantly thinking about getting him the basketball. Nobody is thinking about just playing or getting into sets. He moves minimally and b****es at people when he doesn't get it where he thinks he should. Also barely moves on D. The second he comes in the vibes immediately change

    I was high on him but he ultimately ends up being a net negative tbh

    Offense drops from a 119 to a 114.4 when he sits so this is the opposite of what actually has happened in real life.

    The people that say trade Sengun over KD feel dumb.

    acutally no the second he checked out we took a huge lead. You're looking at the season aggregate

    Ya of course, what else would you look at? Who looks at a few minutes of one game to make a determination?

    Exactly! Without KD, we probably would be a lottery team...the Pelicans are trash and their mind is more on Cancun than winning a game

    It was not as much of an issue early on, since ASB the offense is all get him the ball. Which is why you need to look at a cohort

    I alluded to his efficiency earlier, which also hides the true story when looking at the offensive numbers. Look at the 4th Q stats with him on the floor late in games when all we do is try to get him the ball. It’s abysmal.

    Like all his other teams, this dude is a damn cancer

    That’s because Ime refuses to play any shooters for half the season. If Reed or Holiday are out there with Sengun the offense will be fine.

    What’s the point of having one of the best play making centers in league and playing him withnon shooters.

    It's so weird because from the start of the season they ignore him and just hoop. And now they are scared of him.

    So basically, shouldn't have traded Dillon Brooks and Jalen Green?

    Do you have the data on the offensive rating with him on/off post asb? I’m not seeing a way to split it but i’m sure it’s out there.

    Only glaring thing that stood out during this game is the Rockets hit their 3s and they didn't trap KD because we were hitting our 3s.
