Gary’s been playing pretty poorly, so I was surprised to see this stat.

Among 3-man lineups with at least 75 min played, the best net ratings:

  1. +27.4, Anunoby-Trent-Barnes (78 min)

  2. +18.1, Siakam-Trent-Barnes (121 min)

  3. +17.7, Siakam-Anunoby-Trent (96 min)

  4. +11.0, Schroder-Anunoby-Trent (83 min)

  5. +8.9, Poeltl-Siakam-Trent (154 min)

For reference, the Siakam-Barnes-Anunoby trio is 9th with a +7.5 in 231 min played together (which is very solid for how many minutes they’ve played against the toughest competition).

    Who could possibly have seen Barnes + shooters would work?

    If you’re committed to Scottie, you need Trent to help space the floor

    PS Look at what Norm did at age 24 before getting annoyed that Trent hasn’t become some superstar

      Norm came out as a senior. Gary has been in the league for awhile. I agree with you that guys can change and growth is not linear but everyone is different too. Just bc norm panned out, doesn’t mean Gary will. Look at Boucher, he’s improved some aspects of his game but his shot is still ugly af.
