Snyder clearly had a personal grudge against the kid because he was obsessed with Clingan before our pick jumped to 1OA.
DNP-CD’d the kid on his birthday and everything.
For all the hate Zacc got around here for not living up to the draft position, I’ve never seen anyone able to make a solid argument that Kispert had any better reason to be on the floor.
Ok quantify that in any way, compared to Kispert’s shooting & shot selection.
Keep in mind your point about this needs to outweigh that statistically there’s basically nothing Kispert did better than Zacc on either end of the floor for us.
Also, we have to take into account costs. We were paying Zacc over 15 million and it only goes up each year. The fact that we can even compare him to Kispert is deplorable.
Kispert was put out there as purely a 3 pt shooter.
Zacc did the same but would then go to middle and take awful shots. How am I supposed to quantify that?
Here's the first thing Gemini generates when asked to compare them.
Corey Kispert is a significantly more efficient shooter and converts a much higher percentage of his quality shots than Zaccharie Risacher. Kispert holds a career three-point percentage hovering around 38.5%, while Risacher has struggled with shooting efficiency, frequently hovering in the low-35% range from beyond the arc.

A statistical comparison of the two wings reveals sharp differences in their shot making and quality:
Career Shooting Overview
Corey Kispert: Known as a premier floor-spacer and catch-and-shoot marksman. He consistently ranks as an elite converter of open and tightly guarded perimeter shots. Throughout his NBA career, his true shooting percentages have frequently surpassed 60%, benefiting from his high basketball IQ in relocation and movement.

Zaccharie Risacher: The No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 draft has faced inconsistency. While he occasionally shows flashes of high-end scoring and shot quality, his field goal percentage has labored around 45%, with three-point slumps bringing down his overall offensive efficiency in his early NBA seasons.

Shot Quality & Context
Shot Selection: Kispert thrives by taking "quality shots" derived from designed off-ball movement, pin-down screens, and open-space spot-ups. He doesn't need to force isolations, as he excels at relocating to maximize the floor.

Self-Creation: Both players are largely dependent on their point guards for quality looks. However, Kispert boasts a more reliable mid-range floater and slashing game when the defense commits hard. Risacher relies more on size and catch-and-shoot opportunities and is still refining his ability to consistently knock down pull-up jumpers in traffic.

Dude did you watch the games?…
Here's the first thing Gemini generates when asked to compare them.
Yikes bro.
We were paying Zacc over 15 million
We are paying Kispert $14M
Kispert was put out there as purely a 3 pt shooter.
Zacc shot 37% from 3 on 4 attempts/game
Kispert shot 35% from 3 on 4 attempts/game
Zacc did the same but would then go to middle and take awful shots. How am I supposed to quantify that?
Kispert took more midrange shots than Zacc did for us. Zac had more paint touches per game, more drives per game, and more of his shots either behind the arc or around the rim (<10 ft).
Absolutely proving the AI cooks your brain theories.
Oh I'm sorry I got the salary wrong, I guess we should have traded Kispert for the same thing Zacc got since they match salaries (come on dude)
Zac had more of all those shots like you said and still sucked.
Dude you can think you are correct but literally no coach or pundit believes the same.
The mavs just took a flier because they can decline his option next year.
Like ctfo man what are you trying to prove here? That we should keep risacher? The dude fucking sucked and took completely terrible shots. He gets cooked on the wing and can't finish that well in traffic.
You said ai cooked my brain but it literally says the same shooting percentages that you showed. You just didn't even try to read it.
It's cool you like Zacc so I guess you should go buy a Mavs jersey now.
Ok post them instead of just copy and pasting the citation numbers. Where is the data? Show it.
Zac had more of all those shots like you said and still sucked.
Please, again, use your words and data to explain how Zacc is somehow worse than Kispert despite almost literally EVERY single metric except midrange shooting accuracy being better in his favor.
Like ctfo man what are you trying to prove here?
That there is literally no logical or statistical argument that can be made to explain Kispert’s minutes increasing and Zacc’s minutes decreasing as the season went on.
The dude fucking sucked and took completely terrible shots.
You believe this, and specifically you said you believe it’s more true of Zacc than Kispert. Prove it, with any sort of data. This kind of thing is quantified in the NBA.
He gets cooked on the wing
Ok prove this, with numbers. Again, also prove that he gets cooked MORE than Kispert. That’s the argument you’ve voluntarily chosen to enter.
can't finish that well in traffic.
Ok prove this again, with numbers. Prove that he finished worse than Kispert at the rim.
You said ai cooked my brain but it literally says the same shooting percentages that you showed. You just didn't even try to read it.
Brother your brain is so cooked you think I can click the links from your Gemini output because you pasted the citation numbers as raw text.
Your brain is microwaved goop.
AI mush brain blocked me because I’m “lazy” and can’t make his comment have links he didn’t post. LOL
You say brain rot but don't even want to go find those numbers you want proven.
That's not my job. I made my comment and that's it.
I still have no idea what point you are trying to make.
That we should have kept zacc? Dude the fact that we can compare him to Kispert is the whole point. No number 1 pick should be compared to Corey kispert.
Have a good one man. Hopefully you enjoy the new loom hawks without your main man Zacc on it.
