Official '15-16 NBA Season Thread: THEY WON ONE FOR THE LAND

According to the Holy Grail of NBA stat geeks, PER, there are 46 players more efficient, therefore better, than Draymond Green and 68 better than Marc Gasol.

PER doesn't account for defense. Don't be an anti-stats donk. It's a losing argument.

Ibaka is 26.....

Plus his wife is ranked as the NBA's 4th hottest wife.

Is he actually 26 though? Who's the last 26 year old with a dramatic drop in athleticism other than a Derrick Rose/Brandon Roy situation?

Offensively there aren't close 46 players you'd rather have than Draymond nor are there anywhere near 68 players better offensively than Marc Gasol. He has a great shot, is an excellent passer, sets good picks and gets boards.
 
Has Dovovan's hack a player been talked about yet? Somebody pointed it out on r/nba that the only time he used it was coming out of every timeout in the second quarter so GSW would not be able to run a set for Steph/Klay. Billy D is tryna prove everybody wrong.
 
Thunders new lineup of death is even better than the dubs

Ibaka
Durant
Roberson
Waiters
Bestbrook
 
our death lineup sucks now that barnes, draymond, and steph suck.

Which of the players ranked ahead of him that aren't just backups aren't better offensively than Draymond on this list? Seems to match up well with the eye test. Draymond scores 14 PPG.

Whiteside
Monroe
Favors
Vucevic
Faried
DJ
Melo
Horford
Milsap
Valanciunas

That's not including guards that he's better than.

You're going with Draymond being better than Melo at offense?

Outside of Vucevic (only cause I have no idea who he is) and Faried and DJ, If you swap teams Draymond's offensive efficiency will get worse and the rest will get better. Draymond hasn't taken a guarded shot in a year.

Melo has stopped offenses for a decade.

Draymond can do more things than any of those people. He would score more points if he wasn't the third option. He's also an excellent passer and you have to keep a body on him. He can play multiple positions.

Offense isn't just shooting.
