I voted yes in this poll, which only has 34 votes even though the thread has nearly 9,000 posts. Unbelievable how kids these days don't exercise their hard-earned democratic right to vote. Too busy drinking 40's and playing X-Box? Useless bums.

Well, I'm glad we skipped over my stats based critique of DeMar as a non-primary option. Wouldn't have wanted this to devolve into a discussion where we support our points with evidence.

DeRozan, since his rookie year, usage versus TS%:
09-10: 55.4 TS%, 18.1 USG%
10-11: 53.0, 23.2
11-12: 50.3, 25.0
12-13: 52.3, 24.2
13-14: 53.2, 28.0
14-15: 51.0, 28.4
Could you point out to me the correlation between his usage and efficiency? His highest efficiency year was his lowest usage one (third banana year). His second highest efficiency year is in his second highest usage year (his all-star campaign). Reality is there is no correlation, he tends to float just over 50% TS% (a variation of 3% over the course of 4 years is really not particularly significant, especially with no trend to project) regardless of his usage. So, my prediction is that if given a smaller role, he will reduce his usage rate but his TS% will remain inefficient. The only reason his 53% TS% in his all-star campaign was considered acceptable is because a) he did carry such a high usage, and high usage with meh efficiency is valuable to a team, and b) he improved his assist rate significantly to an acceptable (not great, but acceptable) level.
Here's another fun fact - DeRozan's assisted baskets have pretty much no correlation with his efficiency either.
Percentage of DeMar's baskets that are assisted by year, versus TS%:
09-10: 55.4 TS%, 68 AST'd%
10-11: 53.0, 59
11-12: 50.3, 64
12-13: 52.3, 55
13-14: 53.2, 50
14-15: 51.0, 45
Are you seeing a correlation there? I'm seeing one between usage and assists, but again with zero bearing on his efficiency.
It all makes good sense to say that DD with more open looks, less dribbling, etc would be more efficient. But we've seen this movie, we know how it ends, and it ain't like that.
What I'm saying is that having a larger role than your skillset can fulfill in a poorly designed/run offense can negatively effect your efficiency. Period.

.
Usage perfectly reflects role. Efficiency can be measured in others way too I guess...? Perhaps there are other stats to support his claim that demonstrate the opposite than TS% did.Heir, Prince of Cambridge

But looking at the usage vs. TS%, you have to at least consider - easily the highest TS% while also the lowest usage rate of his career, when he was but a lowly rookie. So you have to consider that in that same situation in his prime, he could add an extra 5 to 10% onto that TS."Stop eating your sushi."

RJ was a better defender and shooter (although shooter is closer). Glen Rice was way better shooter. Eddie Jones was the original 3&D winger. Rip might be the closest, but I think he was a better defender.
