Michigan Players in the NBA

He scored very efficiently in the Slovenia game I think it was

Game tying tip for Ignas - OT!

He’s shooting 36% in the tournament. He’s scoring inefficiently. I will grant he has at times made baskets. I mean, I’m not sure why ā€œhe shouldn’t take 18 shots a gameā€ is controversial.

I’m just trying to point out that there’s a difference between not shooting it well and being atrocious. He’s one of the most talented players on Germany’s team, he’s top 5 in ball screen points created per game in the tourney (and Germany’s PNRs are more efficient with DS running them than 4 of the other top 5 players).

Lo has been solid off the bench and has had some nice flashes but look at Germany’s starting lineup. It isn’t like there are obvious candidates to use up possessions which leaves DS to create a lot of offense.

Really the 3 point shooting is what’s the issue. And I can agree he should probably take fewer of those if they’re early in the clock

I’ll acknowledge ā€œatrociousā€ is too strong, and I did call him abominable after a game he played overall badly in.

He has facilitated well, largely, but shoots, I think, way too much (and that’s a meta comment about his career too). Saying they have nobody else to do what he does and saying he’s playing well aren’t exactly the same thing.

He’ll always have that one year in OKC where he shot 3s well

No, but it is an explanation as to why he shoots so much which appears to be your primary complaint.

Sure, but isn’t that saying he’s not good enough to effectively perform the role, despite being their best option?

Most of this thread has been you killing him whenever Germany comes up.

Germany has played pretty well in the tournament with him running the team and is still alive. I just think absolutely shitting on him ignores a lot of the value he adds to their team.

Why does Dylan get to curse

Obviously this isn’t Schrƶeder hoops so I will let it go after this, but I think it’s a little blinkered to say the guy leading the team in shot attempts while posting something like a 45% true shooting (if my Math is roughly correct) is doing great.

Like if he’s going to shoot so much, being semi-competently accurate seems important!

Again, I’m not saying he’s playing great. Just that the killing him every game seems over the top.

The lack of ability to curse is indeed extremely annoying.

What the fuck are you talking about?

Germany plays Greece at 2:30. No word on Franz but I would guess he won’t play, which is a big advantage for Greece
