By Rob Go To PostSGA really is a FT merchanti completely agree, but what led you there?
Rob, you're not going to believe who led the NBA 2023-24 full season RAPM (playoffs included). His name rhymes with "bunson."
By Kibner Go To Posti completely agree, but what led you there?Attempting less layups than Gobert. As a first option, also having less layup attempts than his own teammate.
He’s also not much of a 3 point shooter. His 3PA are low.
@Sharp ima be honest. I don’t know what any of these advanced stat acronyms mean that you always mention.
By Rob Go To PostAttempting less layups than Gobert.

The idea is that you should be able to add together the "impact values" for all five players in a lineup, then subtract the "impact values" for all five players in the opposing lineup, to try to predict a team's net rating when those two lineups were playing each other After discounting low minutes players heavily since you know +/- takes a lot of time to stabilize, and collecting data across the regular season and playoffs, the estimated lineups had the lowest error vs. the actual lineups if you assumed Brunson had the highest "impact value" in the league.

By blackace Go To PostDo the Suns still owe Monty money too?afaik, that wouldn't be possible. If you get fired from one team and hired by another, the salary from the old team is subsidized by the new team (up to however much the new team is paying).
You can't get double-paid and you can't lose money.

By domino Go To PostYeah he was basically Westbrook but 6'6" lol. Athletically I mean. Was very unfair for other 90s players.
By Kibner Go To Post@bricks
some good talk about stance and footwork here
Just watched, good looks. I'm gonna see how my nephew does with a more upward defensive position, he has long legs and high hips so getting really low right now isn't working. I'll show this video to him on Saturday since he's staying with me for the weekend.
Mario Hezonja news tells you how slow a news day it is, haha...
Dude was BAD when he played for the Blazers a couple years ago. I remember Olshey hyping the him up and this being a major turning point that made me go "This dude is full of it, nonstop."
Although apparently he's shot 43% from 3 over there the last couple seasons so there's that.

By Splatt Go To PostHe's actually been amazing in EuroleagueDid something just happen to his shooting form when he went to the NBA? Because when he came back to Europe he also couldn't shoot for the first two years, then suddenly went back to putting up his old numbers again. He took too many shots in the NBA for the drop to just be random variance, but I feel like if it were just that the NBA was too hard for him it shouldn't have taken him a few years to go back to shooting well overseas.
I honestly don't know, maybe it's a confidence thing, he's been playing for a Euroleague powerhouse Madrid for the last 2 years
absolute mayhem if Masai picks up Bronny with the 31st. lmao

If the Lakers don't take him at 55, Dallas would take him at 58 and give him a guaranteed deal. Masai [Ujiri, Raptors president,] loves him. They could take him without even seeing him at 31. Workouts aren't everything for these teams."

By DY_nasty Go To Postrejected like Terrence Howard's thesis 💀
😔
To be clear, when I say he was bad it wasn't just the shooting. It was... everything. Dude was a black hole on offense that chucked up garbage constantly. On defense he was totally lost and chasing stocks without doing the fundamental stuff you want him to. TLDR dude thought he was a star but wasn't able to actually do much of anything.
LOTS of infuriating stuff that year and he's actually kind of a memorable lowlight. And we're talking about the Whiteside experiment year (which is a guy I'm guilty of defending WAY TOO MUCH.)

You're telling me rehabbing a former lotto pick that failed in various other spots usually doesn't pan out? The Olshey special, baby.
That's one of the things with Olshey that drove me bonkers. And they've gotten better about that but it still hasn't entirely stopped (side-eye at Ayton who I probably also defend too much.)
At least with him they're A: rebuilding and that's a nice juicy salary slot and B: the guy anchored a defense for a team that made the finals.

Ayton is flawed as hell but for all his warts he's an NBA-caliber player.
All those other dudes that Olshey took a flier on I'm not even sure were in the league much longer after their Blazers stint (Vonleh, Hezonja, Whiteside, Kanter, Stauskas, Aminu, Turner).

Yyyyepppp...
I view Ayton as a starting level center that's probably overpaid with some very obvious warts. But also closer to what the Blazers want out of that position than Nurkic was. And I still think Nurkic is pretty damn underrated even if snapping his ankle kinda wrecked his mobility and general aggressiveness.
I missed draft season

LeBron at this age coming off an Olympic run as well as a shallow playoff run?
Oof. I like JJ, but everyone in the building needs to have low expectations for the win total.
