Quotes:
The Mavericks have the salaries to make a trade for Drummond work in James Johnson and Tim Hardaway Jr., but giving up an asset to pair Drummond and Kristaps Porzingis is one of the worst ideas I think I’ve heard for a team that desperately needs help on defense with mobility.
He has a staggering usage rate over 30 percent while shooting just 43 percent on post-ups and 47 percent around the rim in half-court settings despite being 6-foot-10 with a 7-foot-5 wingspan.
So far this season, 48 centers have taken at least 50 shots from 2-point range without dribbling first. The average percentage centers shoot on such shots is 63.4 percent. So far, Drummond has taken 135 such shots and made them at just 57 percent, which is 38th-best.
