Don't disagree with the bolded part.
yeah I don't know what the point of advanced stats is for 1st year players. All year statistics don't make as much sense for players getting their feet wet as guys who already have a lot of minutes. I don't think it is fair to point to how bad Cam Reddish was using all year stats, when he really got better on defense and shot the ball better every month. It's not just our players. Sexton had a similar thing the past 2 years. He started really bad, and got sorta good. This past year he looked like he had regressed for awhile and had a bad shooting slump and then I saw how he was suddenly playing better later and then really fit into a team concept after JB took over.
Garland's floater was dead on arrival or so we were lead to believe at the beginning of the year, and then he ended up putting up an ok percentage on those. It will prob be an advanced floater for a 20 year old next year.
I do think Garland showed he is a genuine NBA player. He flashed some potential. He still has a ceiling that is intriguing. I don't know how they figure out the rotation and keep both Sexton and Garland unless as we have been saying from the beginning one of them can come off the bench and their play together is limited. If they were both really good at finding each other and just destroyed defenses with shooting and penetration, I guess it could work, but even then it makes you very vulnerable and makes you have to go for big swings like Drummond to find a way to mitigate their defenselessness.
