Thanks for completely ignoring my point, which is that I don't think TS% is the best way to compare players' efficiencies. I mockingly brought up those players because any shooting metric where TT comes out on top of LaMarcus Aldridge and Ersan Ilyasova is flawed.
And what typical pattern is he not following? He's improved his efficiency every year he's been in the league (while slowly expanding his range.) He has a much better assist rate than his rookie year, and he's always had a low turnover rate.
Sorry TS% is about as an accurate measure as you're going to get for efficiency in terms of scoring. Efficiency does not equal everything a player brings to the table as Aldridge and Randolph are good players despite low efficiency. In fact they'd be even more valuable if they didn't shoot so many long two's. You're fixation on Ilyasova who has played like crap like this year shows nothing wrong with the stat at all
With regards to Tristan, his TS% when up from a pedestrian .516 to a .519: for an improvement of a whopping .003%. He's scoring went up a whole 0.4 more ppg this year. At this rate, Lebron's kid will be in the NBA by the time he gets to be league average for PF's in terms of efficiency while also giving you average to below average points/minute.
