PP has had a down year so far in the shooting category, which has started to come around the past 2 games. Even with this being his best trait (most likely) he has still found a way to impact each and every game in a positive way. He has a great AST/TO ratio and the Celtics are +99 with him on the court this season, in about 20 min/gm that he plays. Which equates to…
AN NBA LEADING NET RATING OF +16.5!!!
i was shocked when i looked this up. i know it isnt a perfect stats, but still quite impressive, especially considering his shooting woes to begin this season.
he is by no means a perfect player, but he is showing he can positively impact winning without shooting remotely close to his baseline.
You just know it’s a bucket when PP slices the defense, gets under the rim and kicks it out to a wide open shooter. Defenders get so hungry for the block on a small guy and he uses that against them.
You can see his confidence when he’s taking and making those deep 3s.
