When people get mad at suggesting more Fred off-ball show them this chart. Most off-ball gravity outside Steph in the NBA
Gravity on and off-ball in today's NBA is what helps unlock opportunities for teammates
Among players w/1K+ MP in on-ball Guard/Wing roles:
⬆️ High On-Ball Gravity
⬇️ Low On-Ball Gravity
➡️ High Off-Ball Gravity
⬅️ Low Off-Ball GravityWhat stands out?https://t.co/Xnn6TCH5qD pic.twitter.com/89ygFWxan8

Scottie at PG in 2 years, Freddie off ball
I don’t think anyone would get mad at suggesting Fred play more off ball lmao.
It’s what almost everyone recognizes is his best role in offense.
He’s an elite shooter and he’s one of the best to do it. The problem is that he forces plays where he just gets easily blocked.
Moving Fred more off-ball is maybe the single most popular opinion on this sub lmao.
Wtf? We want more off-ball Freddy. He is not a playmaker.
It also shows he’s around top 20 in the NBA on ball and higher than Siakam yet most people want him completely off ball lol
I think the dream is for Scottie to develop into the passing big man role akin to Adabayo/sabonas/Jokic. Hes got the passing and scoring ability to do it for sure.
If he somehow develops a reliable jumper on top of that, thats the stuff of raptor dreams
There’s a balance between “more off-ball” and “fred is better off the ball”. Fred still needs a lot of on-ball reps for the sake of the offense. Balancing his touches to give more reps to Scottie would help, but it would not solve everything completely
a pg who is better off ball.hmm masai needs to do some work cuz we need a playmaker at the front like kyle,calderon was.
anyone who thinks fred should be averaging 20 and iso’s as much as he did just doesn’t know what their watching
