2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

He's another 3&D player that can't put the ball down and make a play. Will probably be a negative on offense, unless he shows something we haven't seen so far in IND. Can't playmake, mediocre rim-running ability. We're reliying on his 35% career 3-pt shooting for him to become something here.

Not saying that he could sustain the percentages on a higher volume but compared to KP his efficiency is on another level.

13.1ppg vs 20.6ppg
51.8% FG, 35.7% from 3, 74.7% FT vs 45.1% FG, 28.2% from 3, 88.3% FT
62.8% TS vs 56.3% TS

Gets even more interesting when we look at shooting splits from the field. Turner is the more efficient shooter from any distance (0-3, 3-10, 10-16, 16-3pt line and from 3).
Turner also ranks in the 90.7 percentile for post ups. KP in the 52.3 percentile. Once again KP with a higher volume.
KPs big advantage is the FTr. He is getting to the line.

Big question. Is Turner really worse or is he just getting less opportunities? Could KP replicate Turner´s efficiency if the Mavs would reduce his iso/midrange volume? Would that benefit the team?
