i kinda agree, maybe even a full season can be misleading, but a career +/- can be a good gauge. Definitely not game to game

But what in the case of some random bench guy happens to get a ton of minutes out there with Jokic? His plus minus is going to be better than a player who isn’t. That’s no way to judge a players value is it?

a lot of stats will rotation-dependent. A lot won't. And a lot of stats should not be used to compare players who average 30-35 minutes a game to players who average 15-20 minutes

I think it's better to gauge players statistically by a large data-set; and that should be an adjunct to the eyeball test

Would Westbrook be a good mentor for Scoot?

If yes, go for it.

I didn't realize how cheap his contract was in Denver.

If we can get him for a little more than that, then yes, get him.

In the 2024-2025 NBA season, Russell Westbrook's base salary with the Denver Nuggets is $3,303,771.
Contract Details:
  • Westbrook signed a two-year, $6.8 million contract with the Nuggets in July 2024.
  • The deal includes a player option for the 2025-26 season, worth $3,468,960.
  • If he exercises his player option, he'll earn that amount in the 2025-26 season.
  • If he declines the option, he will become an unrestricted free agent in 2026.

If you ask me Westbrook and his temperament would be awesome for this team. Not just scoot but think about Sharpe. He could very well teach them a bunch and it might be just the type of personality that takes them a bit higher.

I'd rather we pay Banton - as well as a couple other dozen free agents first.

Id want Scoot to stay away from Westbrook - not try to "learn" anything from him.

Hopefully Scoot can be HALF the player Westbrook has been over the course of his career.

Westbrook is a generational athlete no doubt. If he had the mental abilities, skills, or IQ of a player like CJ or Ant, he'd have been a top5 PG.

But the question wasn't about Westbrook's abilities as a player - it was Westbrook teaching and mentoring Scoot. Literally any borderline all-star PG, Mo Williams, even Steve Blake, let alone Billups - all could teach Scoot 100x better than Westbrook.

What would Westbrook even tell Scoot?

"Scoot, go run faster than anybody else, jack up horrible shots, dribble for 20 seconds, steal rebounds from teammates"
