All of those role player guys can still put the ball in the hole some.Lots of GLeague guys who got bumped up talk about this. (May be mistaken, but Toscanini -Anderson is one of them I think) NBA is filled with dudes who can score. If you want to get bumped up & stick you’re not goin to be a primary option on the team. Theres lots of lifelong G league guys that score tons of points (Antonio Blakeny a few years ago comes to mind, Jimmer too)
Dudes that make the NBA and stick in that 7/8th and lower role are guys who have a specific skill set they’ve mastered and can bring to a team. (Exceptional rebounder, defensive stopper, etc) Teams prob are worried a little about his scoring, but likely are more scouting him as to what his skill set could bring to their team in a bench capacity.
We’re seriously underrating just how much of a non-scorer Andre is to the point a contested layup, especially at the NBA level, can be difficult. He JUST started to get that down during the NCAA tournament.
I’m curious if there’s any of the big time role players today in the NBA who weren’t good scorers in college. Even Grant Williams averaged 19(!!!) a game at Tennessee.
