Get those geek stats outta here. Just tell me points per game. That's all that matters.

You gonna yell at us to get off your lawn, too?

[TKOK]

I am all for advanced stats, but i am curious how these sites come up with their values.

https://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/SAS/2019.html for example has hat a very different estimation.

This site Loves Jakob and Davis, and is pretty low on Lonnie and Bryn.

[RC_Drunkford]

so Pau is our most efficient defender? damn

according to Chinook he is

Man, as someone who is just half an year old as a poster on this forum, I gotta appreciate Drom John's efforts in getting the numerical data.

You da best, homes

It's absurd to try to draw conclusions from single stats. No matter how advanced they are.

You need a combination of stats, video watching, basketball knowledge, game understanding and analysis in order to understand what is really happening on the court. It's still not enough information to know what's going on in a team until you don't know personally the people involved and live around the team on a daily basis. External opinions are always biased due to lack of information.

But hey, it's really cool and we have fun with it. Don't we?

[R. DeMurre]

Almost all stats have the potential to create anomalies, and that's why it's important to look at multiple stats. I've found that looking at both RPM and PER is a pretty good place to start. If a player ranks high in one but low in the other, there's a chance something might be off, but players that do well in both of those systems generally tend to be legitimate contributors. Another stat I like to look at is the ORtg and DRtg on basketball-reference.com: I find the better players almost always have separation between this two numbers, and the flashier but less effective/empty stat players often don't.

The fact that Forbes starts over Bertans is mind boggling

I don’t really like it but it’s for the best.. otherwise you’ll have more Mills/Forbes lineups and you definitely don’t want that.

Nephew's numbers are skewed because he's only played like 10 games, tbh.

No, we can just not play Forbes at all. He's HORRIBLE. But that's not happening.

That’s an option too but I said it because I know it’s not happening.

Forbes is getting 8 more minutes per game than Bertans. There is no team in the league that would play Bryn over Bertans like that. It's crazy
