    Thanks to

    Victor Claver

    You haven't contributed anything meaningful on the court yet this season, but by bringing the mean average age of our roster down, we look more like an "up and coming" team than we probably are. If that stat gets us more national media attention? We'll take it.

    I would like to see the age of the starting 5 compared to those around the league.

    Still...... Lopez is 25, Batum is 24, Lillard is 23. T-Rob is 22.

    LA is and Wright are 28, Wes 27, Freeland is 26. Mo Williams is the only big contributor that is over-30 (he'll be 31 in a couple of weeks).

    You forgot Earl Watson, who is 34. He by himself increases the average more than a few non-contributing 22-23 year olds do to lower the average.

    All in all, we have a pretty young team. I'd be curious to know where we rank just as far as starters are concerned.

    I was writing a post with additional information. Yours was just a question that provided nothing else of any value or insight.

    Just like everything else you do..... hollow and empty. :devilwink:

    What I'd really like to see is average age weighted by minutes played. That's the number that really matters. Earl Watson at 34 years 173 days who has only played 22 minutes should only count 1/28th as much as Damian Lillard who has played 622 minutes at age 23 years 140 days. Like wise, Meyers Leonard 21 minutes played at 21 years 278 days, should only count 1/30th as much as LaMarcus Aldridge's 632 minutes at age 28 years 136 days.

    Surprising, did Jason Kidd spill his coffee on the stat sheet and smear the nets off number 30?

    According to ESPN it's 25.2 (but they include McCollum - furthermore, there is a little variance in ages but it seems to wash)

    For the record, if I responded to this thread and did not make such a comment..... Everybody thought of this comment and left it alone.

    Kinda like the whole Mrs. HCP thing.

    Just sayin'.
