Is this the proof that high jumping leads to more time on the floor?

Scoot is a non option averaging 18 per game at SG as a PG. idk if I’d use his stat line as the basis for this

Yeah not meant as slander! Just an observation because it's interesting these two guys are playing the most minutes and Ashes hypothesized about the jumping thing - I think Scoot played PG his first year in SLN but he might have only been B-? Would be fun to see someday what his volume looks like as an option at PG now, as flat B Inside puts him up there with Kyrie, Fultz, Shai, Murray, Peterson, Darius Adams as a top 7 (ish? I didn't look too carefully) Inside rated guy among the PG-eligible, and all those guys do pretty crazy volume at the 1.

Traore is prob a more likely case, as he's averaging 14 pp36 as an option at B- and has super high blocks - we can't know for sure (team composition/DC does matter) but I'd wager he was built with some jumping or at least developed it (if that's a thing that develops?). Just looking at the top minutes guys from last year it seems like a mix of high-jumpers and less high-jumpers so I would be curious to hear if Ashes ever reached a solid conclusion on if there's a connection

I never said the word slander. That was George. He’s never played a full season at PG. I just don’t think he’s the person I’d use to make this argument. He started as a C inside guy, so idk if it’s fair to say his inside is all jumping after the amount of inside gains poured in from the NDL.
