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?
Its interesting because based on every advanced stat, they are not close in KPs favor. Turner has been a below offensive player most of his career, but has been much better this year (possibly the Rick effect) at roughly .5 to 1 above average in offensive plus minus (OBPM, OEPM, O-Lebron) whereas KP has been roughly 2 above average most of his career and roughly 3 this year.
It seems regardless of whether you are looking at boxscore or on/off KP is way better. From an advanced boxscore perspective, it seems that volume trumps efficiency, at least to a degree. It also appears that KP has a much better on/off impact offensively.
