"(2/10) ๐ŸŽฏ Shooting Efficiency: Beal (2024): XXXX TS% XXXX% 3PT (96th percentile) XXXX eFG% Powell (2025): XXXX TS% XXXX% 3PT (93rd percentile) XXXX eFG% Both were elite shooters in the regular season. But you have to consider that Beals efficiency came with a higher degree of difficulty. Beal created looks for himself in the form of pull-ups midrange shots and looks at the rim. Powells offense largely came off kick-outs and attacking closeouts which is fine until the defense takes those looks away"

"The Utah Jazz "had to get rid of" John Collins because he was responsible for too many of their wins per @espn_macmahon on The Hoop Collective. "He was too damn productive last season. I don't even remember all the injuries they came up with to make sure he didn't play. They limited him to XX games last year. He played in 70+% of their wins. They didn't win much but they won too often with John Collins in the lineup and he was a reason.""

"(10/10) ๐Ÿ”š Final Thoughts: In the new CBA winning the margins is everything and Lawrence Frank is quietly cooking. Norman Powell was essentially replaced by a cheaper version of himself in Bradley Beal. Beal is not a significantly better player overall but he gives the Clippers what they need from their SG: playmaking self-creation and composure in a playoff setting. Beals bargain deal helped them land John Collins who is a true PF who can rebound space the floor block shots and rotate on defense allowing the Clippers to play bigger and move Kawhi back to his natural SF spot.

"The Utah Jazz "had to get rid of" John Collins because he was responsible for too many of their wins per @espn_macmahon on The Hoop Collective. "He was too damn productive last season. I don't even remember all the injuries they came up with to make sure he didn't play. They limited him to XX games last year. He played in 70+% of their wins. They didn't win much but they won too often with John Collins in the lineup and he was a reason.""

Theyve got a great defensive infrastructure around him. This is the best team in LA getting better. (via NBA Today on ESPN)"
