  1. What is “usage rate”? Can this be used to calculate directly to average minutes per game?

  2. He was just so incredibly fun to watch that year.I remember in the 2017-2018 season, we played Golden State at home right before Thanksgiving. Russ, PG, Melo. And we beat their ass and Russ was talking shit to KD… it was honestly one of my favorite wins ever. Just looked it up and it was November 22nd, 2017 – OKC 108 GS 91. Russ had 34 points, Melo had 22 and PG had 20. Fun night.
