the Davis–Ryan Anderson front line has been a disaster; the Hornets have allowed 113.1 points per 100 possessions when those two share the floor


Any armchair McGregorstrators want to take a stab at explaining this? Is this all on Davis? Anderson + Lopez or Smith both give a rating of 103 vs. 113 with Davis. LINK /

It seems pretty obvious: neither of them are very strong, 'big' guys. Ryno is not a particularly good defender to begin with, especially down low, and Davis is a rookie that needs to put on a lot of muscle. Anyone who is physical can get the better of them right now.

Im not a big fan of 2 man #s. Aminu ranks in 5 of the top 7 lineups. I dont think that means he is a core piece.

I like the 5 man #s much more. Those still aren't great, but give a bit more context.

A super small lineup with Mason/Gordon/Vasquez and those 2 is giving up 1.51 PPP in 24 minutes according to NBA.com

With Vasquez/Aminu/Gordon its 1.04 PPP.

With Aminu/Rivers/Vasquez its .98 PPP.

Context matters. Are Ryno/Davis perfect complements? No. But they can work together if you put the right pieces around them
