Though Hartenstein cant shoot, he isn't a liability on offense. He is amazing with his floater. I think he is different than players like gobert and robinson fwiw.
To piggyback off this a little bit, the all nba 1st, 2nd and 3rd teams were recently announced.
Crumble
A big that has to rely on a floater to be relevant to scoring is kind of a liability.
Ok. Less of a liability.
He’s also a pretty good rebounder and finisher. Hes got some bounce. And with Chet, it’s not like he’s messing up their spacing. Gobert and Mitchell Robinson right now are far greater liabilities.
Lol. Hartenstein has by far the worst net rating of those 3 despite his team having far superior rating.
I don’t think that proves what you think it does. A lot of factors go into +- . Robinson and Gobert are also better rebounders and defenders. The opponents they’ve played are different. OKC just escaped a grueling 7 game series with arguably the 2nd best team In the playoffs (likely the only team in the playoffs that made the Thunder sweat). So what are we arguing? Are we arguing that Harkenstein has a better offensive game than Robinson or Gobert? Because I think the answer is clearly yes and he’s less of an offensive liability than Gobert and Robinson who have zero range outside of a dunk/tip in. Although, their dunk/tip in ability might improve their overall +- especially against crap teams (lakers for example).
No you are arguing that Robinson is a worse offensive liability based on your pedestrian common sense logic revolving around their scoring skills, yet Robinsons personal offensive rating is BETTER than both his teams or Hartensteins.
