High

Efficiency is the only currency that matters in this league, and 64.2% true shooting percentage is a hell of a way to pay the bills. When you look at the raw output, it’s impossible to ignore the sheer gravity of his offensive impact.

With a usage rate hovering at 31.4%, most players would see their efficiency crater. Not him. He’s operating in the 98th percentile for points per possession, a number that frankly makes the rest of the league look like they’re playing a different sport.

"The numbers don't lie, but they do tell a story of extreme precision. When he touches the ball, the expected value of that possession jumps by nearly 0.15 points compared to the league average."

Consider the box plus/minus (BPM) of 8.9. That’s not just "good"—it’s historic territory. In my view, we’re witnessing a masterclass in shot selection. He’s hitting 43.1% of his triples, but it’s the 58.7% clip from inside the arc that keeps me up at night. He isn’t just taking shots; he’s hunting high-value looks with the surgical precision of a guy who knows exactly where the defense is weakest.

  • PER: 29.1
  • Win Shares: 11.4
  • AST/TO Ratio: 3.2

If you ask me, the most telling metric is his net rating when he’s on the floor versus off. A +12.4 swing isn't just luck. It’s dominance. When he dictates the pace, the offense hums with an efficiency that defies traditional scouting reports. He’s playing chess while everyone else is still trying to figure out the rules of the game.
