    Yeah but people who shoot league average on open shots are below average shooters. You can't apply the league average to open shots. You apply league average open shots to his open shots.

    The way you're judging this, Sengun is a league average shooter too (35% on open shots). Obviously, he's not.

    So what will it take? If he says it wasn't him you're good?

    Thats pretty bad. Atleast he can play defense. He needs to stop shooting so much and I agree with him being traded for the right piece or coming off the bench but at 22 I can see his shooting improving over the next few years.

    Listen, I didn't join Clutchfans to discuss twitter nonsense -- as far as I'm concerned...

    I don't really care that much the semantic definition of average versus below average. If you want to describe him as below average, whatever, fine, technically correct is the best type of correct and all that.

    I'm curious, do you have a citation you can link on him being open on 80% of his shots? I'm having a hard time finding that particular data when Googling for it. Also, do you have any sources on what the league average is for how many three point shots are open / wide open? I'm not pre-supposing any answers to these questions, but I will say my subjective impression is that most players do not shoot contested three pointers unless they absolutely have to (end of the shot clock, etc).

    How is average the same as below average?

    It’s comparing an individual’s open-shot 3% to the league average for open-shot 3%. Apple to apple.

    Sengun is shooting 29% on wide-open 3s. 35% on open 3s. This year.
    Bari is shooting 38% on wide-open 3s. 33% on open 3s. Career avg.

    LOL .... BOTH the media and Durant looked terrified! o_O

    Truthfully, the cookie cutter response left the door wide open! Can't tell if he's coming or going...

    No doubt the answer is bad, I mean everyone knows how hes on Twitter with his real handle.

    Should have laughed it off and said that aint me bla bla

    Now still IMO this aint a problem as long as he plays well and he has been the best player on our team, the kids will adjust

    It's exactly what any PR/HR or whatever else company would tell you to do. You don't give credence to internet nonsense that's completely unverified.

    He responded how someone who is guilty responds. I would be saying people are using what happened in the past to attack me these arent mine but I bet he cant say that with a straight face which is why he deflected.

    Not only did he deflect, he was serious and acknowledged the reporter had to ask the question. He didn't even joke around or clown the reporter. Oh yeah, he guilty. I'll be watching closely tomorrow night.

    You can literally see KD smirk at how easy the questioning was.

    Maybe Stone promised them ice cream if they take it easy on KD.

    Regardless - the Rockets will need to get over it. He didn't really say anything groundbreaking about the Rockets players.

    He may want to tone down the "selling war weapons to the Israeli army" talk though.

    I take it, then, that KD has self-banned himself from Twitter/X?

    Tomorrow, he’s going to score 40+ just to show that he’s really serious now.

    Duh!

    Of course he is guilty.

    The question is whether it really matters.

    Average is below average when you are trying to blame others for the lack of spacing caused by your favorite player.
