I still dont see what youre getting at. I guess if the argument is Burns' Norris season was much better that what Hughes is doing now, then sure. Burns then at least attempted defense.I guess they would be similar if your entire scope of evaluating a player is Position and Points Total.
Burns 16-17
4.17 blocks per game
2.03 hits per game
.93 ppg pace
33% of points coming on the pp
+19
29g 26a1 20a2 (44% secondary assists)
Lets compare that to Hughes this season
1.01 blocks per game
.84 hits per game
1.06 ppg
53% points on the pp
-13 so far...
1g 6a1 10a2 (63% secondary assists)
As I stated earlier and was laughed at, Hughes now reminds me more of Barrie in his 2nd to last season in CO where the Avs depended on Landy-Mac-Rants and the PP to survive games. He was useless defensively, but still helped drive one of the best PP's in the league. Barrie at least still blocked a shot here or there though
Barrie 17-18
3.07 blocks per game
1.55 hits per game
.84 ppg
53% points on the pp
-15
14g 24a1 19a2 (44% secondary assists)
