re: Most liked / least hated big time NBA players

Dwight averages 1.8 assists per game. While kicking out to Parsons and Harden. 2 of the best shooters in the game. You put Noah / Gasol with those guys they would average 5assists per game.

And Gasol / Noah typically are playing at the high post. Dwight is always at the low post.

Noah - 12pts and 4.8 assists. Hes responsible for at least 22pts per game. 18.4 usage rate

Gasol - 13.7pts and 3.7assists. Hes responsible for at least 21ppg. 20.6 usage rate.

Dwight - 19pts and 1.8assists. Hes responsible for at least 23ppg. 22.6 usage rate.

And Dwight averages 3.3turnovers per game. Noah - 2.3. Gasol- 1.8. Noahs assist to turnover rate is +1.99. Gasols is +1.90. Howards is 0.56.

Noah is shooting 72% from the FT. Gasol is 80%. Howard is 55%. And is a career 57% from the FT. So the odds of his % staying at 65% arent too good.

And I agree Dwight has def improved his low post moves. But still has no range at all. Dwight has made 425 FGs this year. 419 of those FGs have come from within 10ft.

Dwight - 4 years, $87.5m. Annual salary of $21.8m

Noah - 5 years $60m. Annual salary of $12m

Gasol - 4 years $57.5m. Annual salary of $14.3m

Dwight isnt worth $27m / $9m annually more than Noah or $30m / $7.5m annually more than Gasol. And just for fun, Asik contract is 3 years for $25m. Annual salary of $8.3m.

And, believe it or not, I dont dislike Dwight at all. Hes a really really good C. All of these guys are. I just prefer Noah and Gasols skill set more so than Dwights. I like a big that can play 18ft away from the basket and beat you with his mid range game. And a guy that has great vision and passing ability. And Gasol / Noah have way better contracts than Dwight does.
