4. "Randle over Grant, mostly for two reasons." In response to In response to 0
1. Grant missed over 20% of his team's games. 2. Randle affects winning more, simple and plain.
I also think, while Grant did better than I expected coming into the season, one could argue that the lion's share of his improvement came from higher usage. His FG% and 3P% numbers are way down, as are his defensive analytics numbers. Meanwhile, Randle's improvements come not from usage increase, but from vastly improved perimeter shooting and notable leaps in basically every advanced analytics number. Not only is he better on the court, but also the team is much better.
