I'm less high now, even though what he's doing is still fundamentally very impressive.
I just think it's like a league context to me.
One of the other things on the assist point is like in his Pelicans heyday, he often brought the ball up a lot in transition and just off of makes as well.
And I think that if you're playing on a team where like Trey Murphy or Jordan Hawkins is sprinting to the corner and you have Zion rolling to the rim,
there's gonna be a lot of uh low hanging fruit to pick or i suppose like throw the ball up for so for zion to to dunk it whereas it did seem on watching back a few games that brandon is really functioning far more as a half court player now like because of the paces led trend of full court pressure picking guys up a little bit higher i think that these wings are being saved more
to to get the ball in action in the half court and like it's good for their turnover numbers in terms of like they're not getting you know stripped for a pick six or anything but it does mean that they're not getting some of the easy maybe like getting rhythm getting flow assists that you might get in transition or semi-transition that they used to um the the one other thing is like
And some of the terms I use feel a little bit sort of like football connected because of the background.
But it does feel to me like he's not able to stay with his roller on a pick and roll possession.
Sometimes you speak about that from like a defensive point of view.
But I think if you watch a lot of the great pick and roll players over the past 20 years,
they match pace and they almost like they're kind of equally spaced and it just seems to me that with some of the more aggressive coverage that he's facing the role is either like too far away by the time he picks his head up to pass or it is just sort of crowded out by a sea of arms and he can't necessarily sort of Luca style absolutely get the shoulder in and just like put a guy on the other side of the court so it is interesting it does just seem like
The average guy would just go, oh, it's the NBA.
They just shoot a lot of threes now.
But if you watch a game from three years ago and you watch a game now, it still feels like that space age progression is continuing.
As a slight thing here, like you spoke about the assists and the turnover and the assists thing correlate into offensive rating.
The four teams that lead the league in lowest turnover ratio are all sporting a 120 plus offensive rating.
It's the Knicks, the Nuggets, the Celtics and the Dundas.
And then the only other team that's above 120 is the Houston Rockets, who are 28th in turnover percentage.
But we know how they win the possession battle.
So it does seem that Nick Nurse touches the wing of a butterfly and then suddenly here we are a few years later.
