What's this?

You're correlating Bede's performance with MY not using PGs traditionally


I understand you're doing it to make your argument, but I tend to disagree with the point of view. Assists aren't part of the formula, and none of those things have to increase if he makes a conscious effort to avoid it (aka not shooting and giving up the ball) which he does.

I like Bede, and I think he's valuable, but I don't agree with citing usage numbers to explain that MY wants to use PGs differently. Our highest usage players last year were Aluma, Cone, Bam, and Maddox. They certainly weren't our most effective though. In fact, Bede was our least efficient player even with such a low usage rate.
