Our guys are so overrated it isn't funny.  Your stars - if they really are stars - should be in the top 20.  The guy who's closest is likely out of here soon.

That's non-sense. FG% tends to reflect how close to the rim you are shooting. Curry, Lebron, Kawhi are nowhere close to the top20

Actually you're right - top 20 probably doesn't make sense with the 3 pt shot. More to the point is where Tatum, Kemba and Smart rank - i.e. the guys who take 90% of the shots late in games.

Damian Lillard, one of the clutchest players in the league, is tied at 109.

This means literally nothing.

Our guys are so overrated it isn't funny.  Your stars - if they really are stars - should be in the top 20.  The guy who's closest is likely out of here soon.

And our two stars do well considering they have to deal with being the focus of the defense.  No defense is going to be keyed in on Theis, Peyton, Marcus and sadly at this point Kemba.

A lot of guys on that chart don't face a double team which ought to show you how flawed of an approach Ordway's analysis is in all reality.  A lot of dunkers in the lead and guys with no range.
