Today's guest post is from MITWestbrook, a legendary r/NBA Reddit poster.
Russell Westbrook's impact goes way beyond his True Shooting percentage.
The most important stats for playmakers are points created per 36 minutes, and on/off metrics for EFG% and points per 100 possessions. On/off for Effective Field Goal percentage (EFG%) shows the impact of a playmaker on their teammates' shot quality. On/off on points per 100 shows the actual impact the playmaker has on the scoreboard.
| Player | Metric | Westbrook On | Westbrook Off | DIFF |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jokic | Pts per 100 | 45 | 35 | 10 |
| Murray | EFG% | 56 | 45 | 11 |
| MPJ | EFG% | 61 | 57 | 4 |
Playmakers should be getting the best scorers the ball where they want it.
