But look at his first few years in the league. There simply no way you can say that the worst efficiency guy in the entire draft would suddenly be a postiive efficiency guy in a slower paced system. Most importantly: How come several other Denver players put up good TS%s in those systems. Here I'll focus on players who have been drafted or aren't eligible:
Alex English: Career TS% of 55.0. In Denver he put up 53.1, 54.9, 59.6, 56.1, 57.0, 56.1, 56.2, 54.9, 53.5, 53.1, and 52.2.
Calvin Natt: Career TS% of 57.9. In Denver he put up 60.4 and 56.2...and then 3 bad years in which he was injured and never played more than 550 minutes.
Wayne Cooper: Career TS% of 49.4. In Denver he put up 50.5, 50.9, 48.0, 47.7, and 53.0.
I just randomly chose 3 guys. I didn't cherry pick them at all, and if you want to look at more players then feel free to list them here. Why were these guys unaffected by the pace, but Fat Lever according to some would go from sub 50% TS to 55% in another system?
