Message: [QUOTE="JoeySimz, post: 1835407"] Thank you! I've been trying to say this in different ways for a long time. You did an excellent job showing the big picture that single game stats and outcomes cannot. Teamates, in particular those prone to hero ball, can negatively affect another player's stats/production. I've followed Dion in the NBA closely. His production absolutely coincides with whether he is being utilised for his primary skills, as you have shown above, or being asked to stand at the three point line and watch stars play one on five. Perfect example of this is the hero ball in the last game fourth quarter of warriors/thunder when Russ and KD had a 'who's the man?' battle and literally lost the game turning the ball over while their teamates were told to get out of the way. As frustrating as this must be, Dion has been asked to do this throughout his career. I hope he finds a good situation in this year. [/QUOTE]
