Right now, in the NBA, in net rating/48 minutes, there's ONE player in the top 15 who doesn't play for the Spurs or Warriors.

Terrence Ross at #5. CoJo is #16.

He's a phenomenal passer and he can stretch it out to 3 but his main problem is defense and he's soft.

I can't find a metric that shows Jokic poor defensively - in fact the opposite.

However the scouting reports before he was drafted said he was a poor defender. Not comparing Jokic to Draymond, but Green's scouting report prior to his draft also said his defence was poor.

Jokic has the best defensive on/off splits on the Nuggets of any rotation player, and by a large margin. His On/Off numbers overall are fantastic.

What is the relevance of netRating/48 minutes vs. just normal netRTG and which site's netRTG calculation are you using? NetRTG isn't a cumulative stat, so I don't understand how dividing it by say 24 minutes and then multiplying by 2 to adjust for 48 makes any sense whatsoever.

Some more background into what stat you're actually talking about would be nice.

Net rating/48 is the way the stat is listed there, I'm not sure why they use net rating/48.

And on further examination, it's specifically Ross' numbers at SF that rank 5th, because that breakdown is by position. He has a +4.2 net rating when used at SG.

Really dislike McDonough, he epitomizes GM'ing without a long term strategy or vision, but it's too early to call out his drafting. Still think Len could be very good. Warren has shown flashes. Nonlotto picks are always a crapshoot... You could make the same criticisms about Bruno and DWright.

McDonough is/and comes from the Ainge school of current GMing. Not much different from Hinkie who comes from the Morey (Rockets) school...who also originated with Ainge & the Celtics. Is it any surprise that all seem to be spinning their wheels. It must be the hubris which all possess. Smarter than the rest.

Ainge is trying to reprise the Pierce & Garnett coup but does lightning strike twice on the same franchise... especially? He has to wait a few more years before he can get a Garnett & Ray Allen who had to be let go with still some years left of good contribution. Ainge had help...he was dealing with another Celtic GM in Minny.

Collecting assets in picks or players have a shelf life...they only last so long...then the balance on your team gets all screwed up...in contracts, cap room or personnel mix and free agency manouvering. It is a very difficult hoe to wield. No place for trying to exercise personal vendettas or trying to screw another gm/franchise for whatever jollies one wants to play with.

Is it coincidence that Celtic green runs thru these guys? McHale may have been the nice guy of the lot.

Just rambling.
