Is that for the whole season though? Because our team is more balanced now with Dante and QPon (Cole is way too new)

My issue with this stat is that it only counts possessions with AD vs without AD. Which means it factors in all games that AD plays in, so that 105.2 per 100 possessions is essentially the bench. The team better be more efficient on offense with our starters than our bench.

I would like to see our team PPG when AD plays vs when he's been hurt.

Yes, but he also plays with the starters more. Obviously AD is an amazing offensive player and it certainly isn't his fault. But I feel like we often waste the shot clock because of the nature of trying to get him an open look but not actually putting the ball in his hands. With any other scorer(whether they are a guard who goes off dribble or a big man who posts) you just give them the ball. With AD its like we keep running screens hoping he'll get a little sliver of daylight because of how insanely good he is finishing.

But the problem is when we can't get it to him we don't have enough clock to run the second option. You could see it yesterday.
