Day’ron Sharpe & Michael Porter Jr have a +17.3 net rating in 500+ possessions when sharing the court (as long as Nolan traore is not on the court). One of the best pairings in the NBA

Playing your two best players together is a winning strategy

This is why I’m not totally worried about our floor next year.
We have 3 pretty big positive players on advanced metrics. Day’ron, MPJ, Minott. Egor is at a good floor for a 19 year old. He might make a leap into a neutral or slight positive by next year.
Day’ron/MPJ/Minott/Egor all fit together. There’s good FAs to throw bags at and a premier lottery pick around that. We’re in a good spot.
Day’Ron is our center of the future and I’m tired of pretending he’s not
(and traore (and powell) is one of the worst. powell is a whooping -15 net rating, yikes).
tho +17 for the pairing is crazy for a losing team like the nets.
p.s. that’s why i never understood why sharpe wasn’t starting, he clearly better by all metrics, and better fit with demin aswell, being a very good screener.

Sharpe got the best [+-](https://www.nba.com/stats/players/traditional?TeamID=1610612751&dir=A&sort=PLUS_MINUS) in the team in general. and the best [net rating](https://www.nba.com/stats/players/advanced?TeamID=1610612751&dir=A&sort=NET_RATING). And he played almost the most games, how crazy is that.
