Still early though. Just 21 years old.

Also shows you how much positive attitude probably matters. I remember when he was actually excited to go to the Kings and it showed. Now he seems to have a very negative approach toward the whole situation.

Tyreke Evans was rookie of the year and he also had a nice resurgence with Memphis before his suspension.  Sacramento + Injuries + Seemingly Drug Problems = Derailed Career.  He's eligible to come back in May and I'm pulling for him.   Bagley is not a good comparison outside of the being on the Kings as he's had nowhere near the success.

Bagley is the worst defender of the class, and the worst offensive player. Could that get any worse or what?

EDIT: Actually, it might be bit worse. He could be slightly more down and slightly more left on that chart, there is still bit room. So, I guess, the positive is he could be even worse.

come on ESPN, your're slacking

28.3, 10.2, 9.4 for the season...takes some of the sour taste off the last 2 losses, and the overall abnormalities of this covid ravaged season

Can someone help me? I would like to look up Luka's stats on back to backs. Where/how could I do this?

Go to Luka's profile on the official NBA stats website. Under Splits Traditional, and if you scroll all the way down, you'll see his stats on 0 days of rest, which are essentially back to backs. https://www.nba.com/stats/player/1629029/traditional/

This season so far: 15ppg/7rpg/9apg on 36.4/0/87.5 (1 GP)

Last season: 23.1ppg/ 8.4rpg/8.6apg/4.5TO/ on 41.8/19.2/79.1

Rookie season: 18.1ppg/7.6rpg/4.8apg/3.2TO on 38/28.4/70.6


Basically Luka performs considerably worse on B2B's. He's usually at his best on 2-3 days of rest.

Aren't most players like that? Or there are some playing better on B2B's? Intuitively this would be the hardest matchup and the ones hardest to perform the best. Also because there is a global effect of also tired teammates, that make less shots, and play less defense etc etc. it could be a cumulative effect even if a given player doesnt underperform on a B2B game, but given that his teammates in average do, then this declines the players stats.

Luka plays so many minutes, has so high of usage, and is asked to do so much that RC should expect a really terrible performance from him on every back to back and gameplan accordingly.

Oh absolutely. Most players do perform below their averages on the 2nd night of a B2B in the NBA. And the nature of the game is definitely weighted in such a way that compounds since everyone is affected by them. I forgot the exact stat so forgive me but it was roughly like players are are at like a 2/3rds higher risk of getting injured on a 2nd night of a B2B compared to any other type of game. And thats why condensed seasons we see so many players dropping like flies (on top of the shortened training season etc.) 

I wasn't critiquing Luka btw, just trying to provide the stats Thukdides wanted.
