RJ has been able to, like, keep the assist in a very modest place relative to usage and not to turn over the ball too much.
He is not afraid to shoot contested jump shots, which is a necessity on this Raptors team.
and he he's a diverse passer i think brandon ingram said it best when he came over and he was on media day and he was like yeah they said who has surprised you and he said yeah rj is not just like a gunner and i think when he said gunner he was describing probably what you were about his reputation in new york with julius it's just like this guy's just he's just pounding the air out of the ball and in reality you know darko says this often
rj is one of the great players in the league who you just never have to draw up a play for really he finds his usage and on a team that has four guys who are trying very hard to go north of 18 or 20 points per game the fact that rj gets there without requiring you to do anything for him and the fact that his type of usage we go back to that hierarchy and eating innings and all this kind of stuff
It's not empty calories.
It's just calories.
Calories that you need.
You got to eat so that the body works.
The diverse offensive skill sets are a huge boon.
And, you know, when you look at Shea, for example, Shea and Jokic are probably the two best players in the NBA when it comes to
having the difficulty of stopping them and also not being able to funnel the ball where you want yannis as a playmaker you can kind of funnel the ball two places on the floor but he is so inevitable in that like will you stop me will you put the body here that he he presents a different question shea and yokich are both like so multi-talented his scores that they're comfortable if you just want to stop them there they can put the shot up or they can hang around and make the play you don't want them to make
otherwise i think the league clearly i mean the pacers covering that playoff run was really instructive because the calves would have registered as like the lowest passing team ever you know in in this era when garland was out and the pacers were just freezing out everybody and saying donovan it's helio time can you beat the pacers and the answer was definitively no
and against the even the pace the thunder it was like okay you need to be very specific about your alignment and j-dub needs to go for 40 tonight and sga needs to go for 32 and then you win game four like the defenses have been so good at mixing and matching looks especially if you let them uh like put the laser pointer and index on one spot
heliocentricity is just like it can't that we hit the diminishing returns within like three years and then everything went big and now everything is big and mobile and now it's big and mobile and doing stuff and women yama is here now and there's like holy smokes what's going on it's just it's it's been friendly to rj's game and and rj has been i think uh very humble in adapting to what he needs to be
It's okay.
If, uh, if you, sorry to move away from the Thanksgiving bit, but if you noticed a trend by talking about it loudly, you're too late.
It has to be something where you're kind of really questioning yourself like, is this, do you think this works?
And that is how coaches approach it.
Coaches are like, okay, I thought of something weird.
Like in a coach's meeting, they say like, I thought of something.
