Looks about right. The splits are good but not great, his TS% is good but not great. He’s taking over two thirds of his shots from two point range so even with 49.5% being a decent FG% it’s not great for the TS%.

If your FG% isn’t stupid high like Giannis or Jokic and you’re not a volume three point shooter like Curry, you need to be getting a fuckton of FTs and/or converting them at a crazy rate like SGA to really hit top-tier efficiency. He gets to the line well enough but he’s not a serious merchant and 77% isn’t enough to make up for the just ok eFG%.

Others are overcomplicating it, his true shooting percentage is only not too bad but looks low because even though his FG% is good, he’s been shooting below 80% on free throws and is fouled somewhat often which drags his TS% down a bit.

High volume FT shooter with fairly mediocre percentages at the line. Drags it down quite a lot

Takes a lot of bad shots

People feel the need to shit on Paolo in order to boost up Franz.

I don’t know if it’s fair to call it hate

It’s legitimate criticism for a player who’s expected to be the face of his franchise and is on a max deal. We can’t pretend his flaws don’t exist just because he has good stretches

No one thinks he’s completely sucks at the sport

Serious question, is criticism his game and the fact that he’s been below average efficiency and the team has been better with him off the floor every single season HATE?

Just genuinely asking, do u think people are going out of their way to hate on him or just his specific game because he has incredible tools and talent to be way better?

The strategy the last two years has been to take away the rim for the rest of the team, let Paolo settle into iso/hero ball, and attack him on defense for profit. Casuals say “he’s the only one doing anything!” chucking jump shots at volume while opponents steadily build leads with more effective offense.

Have you seen our coach

5-7 while missing multiple starters and key bench players. I’m surprised its not worse.

So that’s why he’s so salty

It’s what plants crave

Yes, barely above league average during his best stretch of play. And the league average for his position is higher than the league average for the entire league. Still -45 on the season. The Magic are below .500 during this hot month for Banchero. Cope more. You guys always have excuses for him. Why are the Magic routinely better when he isn’t playing? What’s y’all record when he’s not playing games? What’s y’all record when he’s not playing games and Franz is? You’re in denial. You need me to quote the stat about how the Magic haven’t had a top 20 offense since Dwight Howard? They rank 20th in the NBA before this game. Wow, Banchero is so amazing. They’re massively underperforming preseason expectations this year, too. Keep coping bruh.

Lately? They routinely struggle with him on the court. They’re negative with him on the court this year, and have been -283 with him for his entire career. He’s an empty stats guy.

You’re doing the same thing just with a different small shooting sample size
