Blake vs Miller December stats

[SpanishFly]

Simple question: do people think we'd win more if Blake's minutes were taken by Miller or Bayless? If so, on what basis?

Yep, because of Offense, Blake offer no offensive threat and his shooting and scoring simply suck, both Bayless and Miller are threats and take pressure off other players and lead to better shots, and they bot get to the FT line well. Blake takes space on offense, that is all. He may be a better defender but not nearly to make up for his horrible offense.

Miller 16 pts/3 assists

Looks like Nate has him at the right spot. Back-up SG seems to be where he's been his most productive. Now that he doesn't have to distribute, he's become an asset for the team off of the bench.

Agree with you there. He's been effective as a backup SG, and a nightmare as a PG.

As for Blake, if he were in the second unit I would expect his scoring would be similar to Miller's since he wouldn't have to defer to Roy and Aldridge.

Miller is more efficient at both scoring and passing. The Assist Rate shows that more of Miller's possessions used result in an assist than Blake's possessions used. Blake is the one playing more like a reserve combo guard. Let Miller play well as a starting guard, since he's the second-best guard on the team. Let him play 35-40 minutes, play with Roy and let these two talented players figure it out. On-court chemistry only happens when players play together for a while and figure out how best to play off each other.

Since Roy almost always hesitates of dribbles before shooting, Blake's assist ratio appears far smaller than it actually is. If Roy could catch and shoot better, Blake's assists would double.

Blake is GOAT.

One of the more amusing comments I've seen in quite a while.
