Only 3 games starting, so small sample, just wanted to see initial thoughts
| TS% | PPG per 36 | Tunover % | Def Rtng | Personal Foul per 36 | Win shares | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | .528 | 18.8 | 17.2 | 121 | 3.8 | 0 |
| 2024 | .628 | 19.6 | 18.4 | 120 | 3.9 | 0.4 |
So offensively he’s seem to improved on lower usage. Defensively he’s, uh, better by 1 point I guess, but still fouling at a similar rate which is one of things Monty wanted to improve.
Is this due to coaching or was Ivey always just going to take this natural improvement?
still early but i attribute slightly improved efficiency due to reduced minutes and usage rate year over year. is he more efficient due to coaching, yes and no. yes because monty is playing him less but no as in monty hasn’t made him actually better
