In these last 8 games, at this fast pace, we are 28th in OFF RTG. Monty Ball had a 93.7 Pace, 27th in the league (oh and the 9th rated offense that year). Plus we are chucking 3 pointers and jump shots more than Monty Ball.
THIS IS 100% GENTRY'S SYSTEM. Do not let him off the hook with failing eye tests. He is just misusing personnel even worse than he did before this change, which is impressive. Our front court players are TO A MAN having among their least efficient, worst offensive years in their careers (Solo and Dante in particular). AD's insane usage % (5% higher than Monty ball) makes for pretty raw numbers but has a disastrous effect on overall team performance. In 14-15 AD led the league in PER and had a much higher TS% and Win Shares. He was among the top 3 most efficient offensive weapons in the league. Now he's Kevin Love in Minny, an over relied upon and misused star on a mediocre team.
Charts and graphs tho. Fire this clown.
