By blackace Go To PostI mean if you look at the trend of guards drafted top 5 or 6 the last number of years the guard with the shortest wingspan is Suggs and even that is longer than his height, which would put Reed squarely in 7-10 area. Right where he is mocked.But Suggs is elite defensively! That's my whole point! And he was worse at pretty much everything than Sheppard, he was in that 34% "projectable shooting" category I was thinking of lol. I do see what you're saying, this is just how the NBA drafts, but I can still complain about it when one of those guys actually does look like a future superstar in college and people still apply the same logic.
By pilonv1 Go To Postr^2 of .10 is still mostly noise. Some of those volumes at each wingspan are tiny as well.Yeah that's what I was saying, it's not really significant for guards. I would also be interested in wingspan-height and standing reach versions of these graphs, but I still have the feeling it would be similar.
Using (wingspan - height) over raw wingspan would be more useful.

KG spitting facts. LeBarry Bonds, don't be surprised.

By Pac-2 Go To PostKG spitting facts. LeBarry Bonds, don't be surprised.Hating and snitching never a good look.
By DY_nasty Go To Postlistenbut he looks like Jermey Renner
he hoops

He wasn't even hating on LeBron in that, he was hating on Bronny. That gets a pass under the MJ "fuck them kids" doctrine.

Tired: analytics discussion on guards and wingspan
Wired: analytics discussion on privileged superstars
By reilo Go To PostWait a second who are those guys at #1 and #2 on the Celtics in LEBRON with Tatum off? Hard for me to make out, but it doesn't look like either of them are Jaylen Brown??? Very strange since I thought Derrick White was a Tatum / Jaylen merchant.

By Smokey Go To Postspoiler warning blackace plsI was going to post Renner singing
By pilonv1 Go To PostDaniel Gafford is so good and it's criminal how easily the Mavs got him
Fire Kerr?
By Pac-2 Go To PostFire Kerr?Stop reading ahead. That's tmw's contents
By blackace Go To PostStop reading ahead. That's tmw's contents
Damn, yeah, my bad. Spoilers, sorry everyone.
By reilo Go To PostIt also says Payton Pritchard is good so might as well throw it into the bushesLEBRON is lower than every other all in one metric on Derrick White, lol. Mostly because it thinks his three point defense is luck even though he has gotten "lucky" on it every single year of his career. Pritchard is a better candidate for "guy who looks good because he's surrounded by good players" which is why you generally want to take multiple years into account to make stuff like this predictive, but he's definitely been a very good backup this year.
By diehard Go To PostThe Bulls outrebounded the Cavs 74 to 39
Scheduled loss. Cavs couldn't afford to go to ... 3 OTs ... on a B2B after beating Dallas last night.
Double OT, damn, might need to go ahead and lose a couple more games before getting serious again.
I refuse to watch these Clippers, Suns, Lakers games on TV. They jumped the shark scheduling those teams every other night

Hit the home button on your Roku, wait a few and watch the screensaver.
If you don't have a Roku or have not set an appropriate screensaver, I can't help you. But that's my solution every night once the national TV nightmare sets in.
By diehard Go To PostThe only thing that stops the Clippers now is for SL&ENT to acknowledge how good they have been.4-5 since this post
By diehard Go To Post4-5 since this post

By DY_nasty Go To PostStocks?
Late to the party, but I hate to google that shit out of shame before I saw this. Glad it wasn’t me.
By You got 14 bricks right there? Go To PostUnwritten rules are so stupid, defend till the end of the game.
Unwritten rules are the worst. They are not rules then.
I fucking hate hearing that shit.
Also, hearing Lebron talk basketball is just gorgeous.
Oh lads,
That Laker win.
Just amazing.
Lebron was not gonna let the Clippers have a final home victory in our house.
BTW, I love Rui.
This guy is just so fucking good. Easily our second beat defensive.

Why is she in that room
By reilo Go To Postiirc, someone did and he was credited with more assists at away games than home games
Now do Stockton's assists!
Erase the record books of any entries before 2010.
They were probably counting hockey assists towards Scott Skiles record.

By Kibner Go To Postiirc, someone did and he was credited with more assists at away games than home gameslong story short he got more home assists mostly because they played faster at home. Slightly higher assist rates at home vs road but it was actually lower than the league average. Nick Van Exel's home assists were crazy inflated.
Still possible that assists numbers were inflated across the board... but they are now too.
