Ah, NO

Last 10 games he has averaged 21.5 points, 9.7 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.7 blocks. All good numbers.
As of RIGHT NOW, the average starter scores 15.2 points per game, rebounds 6.6, 3.9 assists. Not only would he be a valuable contributor on most teams, very few teams come close to exceeding this on average. So, YES.

My bad, I thought you said he could be the star on half the teams.
 






He's a $30M player. At least.

They are going to have to do something with Julius this summer to keep him. Even if they do get rid of Julius this will be an early test of the ne regime's willingness to spend money.

And Julius Randle averages 19 points, 7.2 boards and 4.5 assists.

Neither one is very good defensively.

I like Naz, but being the best player on half the teams in the NBA made me laugh.

Well, all is well. The NBA should make you laugh. I'm still recovering from fans who said that Ricky Rubio, what's his name, was a very good ball player. The guy couldn't pass (they said he was great at it), couldn't make an assist for his life (if not for the brilliance of the player receiving the ball, there would be no assists), and Rubio was a turnover machine with his "no-look" passing, ahem, skilz. I wouldn't type 'skills' because it would be detrimental and disrespectful to the word.

Just for a bit of irony, let's highlight some of Ricky Rubio's actual stats: He averaged 7.4 assists per game, which is quite impressive for someone who "couldn't pass." And those "no-look" passes? They must have been pretty effective, considering his career assist total is over 5,000. But hey, what do I know? I still hated him as a player. His 2.5 turnovers per game plus his poor passing which caused other players to end up with turnovers (a stat in need of being produced) made him the focus of my basketball contempt for a decade.

I think the stat on Ricky that sticks out for me is his 324 wins and 374 losses in games he played in. In effect, all of his assists were mostly nonconsequential during times of the game where the outcome was fairly certain. He made many of those 7.4 assists when the games were long since out of reach and the defense was slacking. And slack time in the NBA can start as early as the first quarter.

One thing is certain, Rubio is no John Stockton. Not. Even. Close. Stockton had 15,806 assists and had a knack for impacting the game. Rubio sent people to the snack counter early.

Ricky was maddening to have on the Wolves, but almost everything you wrote is utter nonsense.

Of course it is nonsense. Satire is always nonsense.

I missed it. It just reminded me of the guy who used to argue that KG was not a good rebounder based on getting all of his rebounds off of missed free throws.

Lol. There is either nuance in what he said or simply flat out crazy. I know where I usually fall on that continuum. Just by looking at anything I post alters its meaning. If I read something, I am invariably wrong in my conclusions. I predict that you will be more than gracious in pointing out my flaws. Keep up the good work. That is my only advice.

Now that you have predicted it, it is in my nature to make sure you will be wrong. Why am I like this?
