Damn, I'm 70 pages behind in less than a week and there hasn't even been any basketball played. Cliffs?
playmakers can score and get other guys shots consistently. They are putting pressure on defenses, can’t always be judged by raw assist numbers. Passers are just that, passers.
C'mon everybody got amnesia now?
This is from 2016
Curry – the reigning MVP – has established himself as a dark-horse Most Improved Player candidate largely based on his improved scoring. His points per game (23.8 to 30.0), 2-point percentage (52.8 to 55.9), 3-point percentage (44.3 to 45.6) and free-throw attempts per 36 minutes (4.6 to 5.4) are all up.
But Curry’s bigger individual numbers have come at a cost. His assists per game are down (7.7 to 6.7) as he hunts his own shot. Why hasn’t that harmed Golden State’s offense one bit?
Green.
Essentially, Green has assumed some of Curry’s playmaking duties, allowing Curry to look for his own shot more often. Accordingly, Green’s assist numbers have soared – to the point he, not Curry, leads Golden State.
“At the end of the day, if I get them the ball, it’s up to them to knock it down,” Green said. “And our guys on our team is pretty good at that.”
They are.
The Warriors lead the NBA in shots made per game (42.6), and the rate is even higher per 48 minutes when Green is on the floor. But don’t confuse Green’s assists as merely a byproduct of Golden State’s shot-making. He does plenty to put his teammates in favorable positions.
Like Curry said, Green grabs rebounds and pushes the ball up court himself:
So Rubio, Rondo, and any other pass first players arent playmakers?
It works both ways. Whether you're breaking defenses apart looking to pass or score, you can be a playmaker both ways.
They complement each other. That article is from 2016. The year after they won a chip, 67 games and Steph already won an mvp.Dray def took it to new heights. And he’s a great passing 4...with crazy intangibles. But of course...he benefits from Steph. And vice verse. He said it himself. It all starts with Steph...and trickles down. You know this.
Out Dray own mouth. Y’all know wsup.
There’s a ceiling on them because they are just passers. You’ll live with them scoring. I’m not saying they aren’t useful but give me the playmaker every day.
None of what you said has anything to do with the falsehood of y'all saying Steph was/is the only playmaker on the warriors. And then subsequently downplaying what Dray had meant to them.
i did none of the sort. You dont read
I think you're putting a cap on the definition of playmaking. With that definition, there's maybe a max 10 guys in the league who score and pass at elite levels.
Playmaking includes role players too. These dudes are huge x factors on contenders due to their playmaking. Boris Diaw, Iggy, Mavs Kidd, Ingles, the list goes on.

That was addict4sneakers you said he was the only scoring threat on a team with Klay Thompson on there as an excuse to why he's asking to get switched off FVV or getting cooked.
