Very interesting! I love me a good Drom John stat thread!

[Pauleta14]

It is indeed a stupid stat :lol

One that could make u say anything pro/con

[CorrectCrusader]

Where's Keldon

[Tyronn Lue]

Can you filter by first random number of games in the season as a 1st year player? Because Victor hasn't played multiple seasons so I don't see how he made it through that filter.

17.2 represents what?

[paperboy77]

No Manu?
No Tony?

Probably means they were super instrumental to the team. If they played poorly, they lost.

Multitroll...

17.2 games where he was the best scorer and the team lost per season

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Why is Victor’s a decimal point then? Not sure I’m following the stat either. None of the scuba should be on there at all unless that’s last year.

[Pauleta14]

Good point. I'm confused too now haha

Nope. Game Score is a stat. You’ll have to look it up to see what it means, but it’s not anything to do with number of games, or JUST scoring, but that probably factors in in some way.

[JeffDuncan]

The “Game Score” combines all of the box score numbers, to give a single number. There’s a formula used to combine points, steals, rebounds, etc to produce the Game Score for the player, in that game.

A simple conclusion that might be drawn, is that if a player (David Robinson for example) has high game scores in losses, he needed a better team around him. That by itself is sort of a duh, but the player comparisons over time are interesting. Historically, which players have been the best for the Spurs, in games the team lost despite his good performances?

Data from just this season so far is not enough to give a reliable result, tho.

[JeffDuncan]

A further note is to emphasize that Drom’s list is from the team losing. There’s an implication of team quality overall.

That is why it has DDR higher than Duncan. There is no implication whatsoever of DDR being better than Duncan. Har har.

It’s that DDR stood out more above his teammates (Forbes, Belineli, etc) than Tim stood out above Tony, Manu, Diaw, etc.

OK. Thx guys
