TJ Warren ranks 4th in PER amongst SF. Can you name the other 3? Antetokounmpo counts as a PF by the way.

Lebron and Durant are way ahead of everyone else. I can't name the 3rd one because this site won't let me.

MyKale BeastLay?

Isn't he playing PF, and not enough minutes to qualify for this kind of discussion?

Warren is the 3rd best, then.

I think he's playing 25-30 minutes lately. Don't know how many of them at SF though.

Just going off of how ESPN categorizes them Beasley qualifies by their standards and they list him as a sf.

Woah, Beasley.

I guess talent trends to get a way to some extent. Gerald Green is doing great on the Rockets too.

He's averaging 19, which is more than I thought and I guess that should qualify him for advanced stats.

According to BKref, he has played 89% of his minutes at PF this year. We are the only team that really tried to play him exclusively at SF. MIN and MIA tried him as a combo where he had time at both spots.

(Don't tell potential trade partners, but PER is almost identical to Points per 36. Basically it just tells you that a guy scores a lot while he is on the floor.)

Especially since this league is dominated by SFs.

Think Gordon Hayward is good? Warren has scored 413X the points that Hayward has scored this year. What's more, Warren has scored more than Hayward, Lebron, and Durant COMBINED (and divided by 3)!!!

Haha! His value is way higher than the average idiot fans thinks.

If you want to torture yourself, read this article on Kerr and MikeD, along with some insight from Welts and Gentry. Weird how everyone moved on and eventually found success and we've been bottom dwellers for the most part. But hey, you get what you pay for right Sarvs?

Even though I hated Knights play the last couple years, I haven’t totally given up on him yet. I’d like to see how he would do under Triano and alongside a now more refined Booker. I’d give him a chance anyway to redeem himself. It would also be nice to redeem something out of that lousy trade.

I wanted Monty as our coach since D'Antoni left town. Nice choice James Jones.

Reed's recovery must not be there yet. He has been reassigned to NAZ.
