The Numbers Crunch: Mavericks ride roughshod through Wizards wispy defense

If the veterans alleged to be team leaders are going to play like that, why not just turn things over to the kids?

Last night, the Wizards gave a disgraceful defensive effort while Kyle Kuzma and Jordan Poole stumblebummed their way to 7 turnovers and 8-30 shooting from the floor. During a game in which the Dallas Mavericks had an offensive rating of 126.5 (more than 13 points better than league average), Kuzma and Poole combined for an offensive rating of 88.

Kuzma’s usage rate was 35.4%. Poole’s was 30.5%. This is insanity.

Want more insanity?
