Would LeBron's Stats Be The Same If He Were To Play Under The Triangle Offense?

[KingLeBronJames]

Would LeBron's stats be the same playing under a half court offensive system like the Triangle? People believe he's better than Jordan and Kobe. FG% isn't the only thing that's higher than Jordan and Kobe. It's also the APG. LeBron has the ball most of the time in a free flow offense getting those assists while Jordan and Kobe have the ball a lot but isn't pushing up the ball much like LeBron does. Jordan averaged 4-6 APG and Kobe 5-6 APG. Would LeBron average around that range? Let's says if his career stats under the Triangle looked like 48 FG% 25 PPG 7 RPG 4-6 APG still look like better stats and be better than Jordan and Kobe?

the open looks he would get in the triangle would probably sky rocket his FG% to 60-70%

Rebounds would stay the same


And his scoring would be done closer to the basket in the triangle, instead of trying to create from halfcourt, more post ups


But his assists might fall to 6 as he gets less opportunities to create


So he would average somewhere around 31, 6, 7


Holy, he would be monstrous in the triangle

Bron doesn't move as well off the ball as Kobe or MJ, so it would take time for him to adjust.

Like Kobe he's ball dominant that like to dribble and dribble and dribble and dribble, luckily for Kobe he's had big men.

Bron's post game is getting better and he does have Irving to feed him the ball int he post. I can see him emulating this part of Mj's game better than his off the ball or mid range game. He can be deadly in the post when paired up with irving.

I think his touches will decrease while his percentage will stay the same or increase marginally due to more post ups and less of him trying to create (which he's not as great as MJ or Kobe... he's slightly better than Pip creating, mostly attributed to his athleticism and size).

i think his assists would improve to around 9. If kobe could rack up assists in the triangle, imagine what lebron could get.

Most of kobe's assists are miscalculated. They are even called "Kobe assists"

Here's an interesting. article that explains it

Well, it's not quite the triangle, but the Princeton (which Blatt runs) is a more structured offense than LeBron's played in during his career. So I guess we'll have a close enough answer to that question after this season.
