I’d like to know if his usage rate actually went down significantly, and/or if his eFG% went down. I feel like he’s just not hitting certain shots he was making in earlier games. And when he’s shot is not falling he tries to contribute on other ways (boards, passing , defence) which is a good thing.
Just go to basketball reference and look at advanced game logs, there’s a clear drop in usage for Scottie and a clear skyrocketing of Siakams right after the Spurs game. It’s like they saw Scottie taking the next step in that 4th quarter and Siakam cried he was being upstaged to Masai and Darko got pressured to give him the ball more.
