dray is maybe the best defender in the league thats very valuable, he prob wldnt even be in the nba if he was an average defender, but his offensive shortcomings get overlooked cause if his team, also his playmaking abilities are way overrated because under normal basketball conditions its hard to make good plays when youre no threat to score, in the open court he is legit good tho obvs that is heightened cause of the team, in conclusion if he played on a normal team he wld still have a lot of value cause of his D but tyey wld feel the effects of his laxk of O

im making this sound academic tho —if he wasnt on the warriors— i mean also a big part of how the cavs won the finals last year was just not guarding him

also he craves attention in a way thats embarrassing to watch

dray's turnovers definitely cap him at merely a "solid" offensive player whereas he could be "very good" if he cut them down

btw when he was drafted defense was a big question mark, so i def think he would be an NBA player just not a very good one

it would be interesting to think of an alternate reality where dray plays on a different team and is an average defender, i think he would still have a cult following because of his passing

im making this sound academic tho —if he wasnt on the warriors— i mean also a big part of how the cavs won the finals last year was just not guarding him

i would say the biggest part was harrison barnes going 4-142

Dray's 18th in the league this year in assist to turnover ratio and league leader in steals/game so I dunno, I guess he could cut down on TOs but it doesn't feel like that's his albatross. The nutcracking, though....

huh whats weird is by bkref he turns the ball over 20% of the time, which is ghastly, but by ESPN it's at 12.6. i think espn counts assists as possessions whereas bkref doesn't

sorry saying you should like kobe is too far
