The Telfair signing feels like a rare bit of good news for those hoping
Rashad McCants doesn’t get lost in the personnel shuffle. Bassy and
Shaddy always felt like a complementary backcourt duo, and sure enough,
Telfair’s plus/minus numbers with McCants are easily better than with
anyone else on the perimeter. The Wolves averaged 93 points per 48 with
Telfair last season, but that number jumped to 100 pp48 when McCants
was riding shotgunner on the wing, without inflating the 103 pp48 the
Wolves ceded on D in Telfair’s minutes. One hopes that Foye is paired
in the starting lineup with Mike Miller and that Telfair and Shaddy
come in together.
