Actually it's more like he is being used in that same way at times but by a thousand times better coach.
That's the change since last game (as are the minuses). These things tend to even out over time, but there are big swings early in the season.

http://www.hoopsstats.com/basketball/fantasy/nba/teamstats/17/7/pts/1-1 I posted this in the Luke Walton thread but after looking at the other stats, felt it fitting to put here. Points - 1st Assists - 3rd Steals - 1st O Rebs - 1st FG% - 6th Efficiency - 2nd Eff Differential - 1st MPG - 1st (but not by a lot)
Our bench is awesome. Thanks to the new coaching staff managing and putting players in their best role to succeed.
I don't really click on this thread, because the title clearly states this is about the preseason and whatnot.

yeah, it's been a surprisingly good start. it would be amazing if they can keep it up. this sort of starless-yet-effective approach is catnip to big name FAs, and it's super rare to have it working when you've got some potential stars on the roster (recent boston and pre-harden houston had a similar thing working, minus the internal growth potential). i'm just hoping the bubble doesn't burst. @rodg: is clarkson down in your ratings this year relative to last?
He's been down since he's been handling the ball less (relative to rookie season, even). I'll check list year, but I'm on a bus returning from a field trip right now.
Point Guard Williams 91- Russell 83--- Huertas 75 Clarkson 63+++++ Calderon 47 --Clarkson had a big assist game, and that gave him a lift. Wing Williams 92+ Russell 81- Randle 74 Clarkson 67++ Young 59 Nance 54------ Ingram 47-- Deng 43--- Peace 28* --Russell is doing a better job as a scorer than as a PG, but Lou's topping him out at both spots. BIG Randle 85+ Nance 81------- Mozgov 76---- Black 74++ Deng 56--- Zubac 56* Peace 50* --Randle and Nance, with Mozgov and Black not far behind. Nice group of bigs we have. Points Per Possession* Zubac 2.00 Young 1.27 Randle 1.26 Williams 1.25 Nance 1.24 Mozgov 1.19 Russell 1.17 TEAM 1.16 Huertas 1.13 Black 1.12 Clarkson 1.08 Ingram 0.99 (poor tiny dog; tough being a rookie wing) Deng 0.96 Calderon 0.93 Peace 0.33 Robinson 0.00 Win Projection: 40 --Look out!
