Nene to Wizards, McGee to Nuggets, Young to Clippers

.100 is a significant difference though for 4% increased usage.

It's not a 4% increased usage, it's more like 22%. There's upper and lower bounds to all stat ranges.

Anyway, you guys are reading too much into 826 minutes. Shooting percentage flukes are not unheard of (his FT% is down too) and his turnovers are also up unrelated to his shooting. No idea where this lies on Nene's skill curve.

It's been well known he hasn't exactly "hustled" back from his injury and that was part of why they were willing to give him up so quickly.

What happened?

If you only have one cojones your motivation would eventually drop down too over the years.

Cuz such a drop in the stats isn't normal unless an injury or deprived motivation.

Bad coach.
Different team system.
Declining ability.
etc.

Doesn't seem to be Nene's problem. Same coach, same system, and he's bounced back since getting to the Wizards.

He was probably just jealous of Melo's success. Gets to play in the second most important city in the world, with coaches from the Phoenix Suns and Atlanta Hawks, plus Jeremy Lin.

Now Nene gets to play with John Wall and Andray Blatche, plus a guy who has been to the Finals in Rashard Lewis plus a former Minnesota Timberwolves and Cleveland Cavaliers coach in Randy Wittman. And his game is back. Ready to justify $67 million in the most important city in the world in front of the greatest and smartest people on the planet.

In general benji. I'm talking about in general. Don't make me come there and make you unbalanced like Nene.

[benji]

In General Who?

Gross. President Santorum would not approve you doing such things to our military.

Exactly why I was wondering. But seems he's picking it up as a Wizard at least.

Nene just hasn't shown up this year neither for Denver and Washington. He needs to step up if wants to live up to a contract.

Heat floppers.
