Tab over to actual for this year's data without injured players ... Like I noted in the post. The expected data set is using their predictive model to estimate every players future contributions when healthy.

https://dunksandthrees.com/epm This year's, no. Historical data is behind one though. Just select actual as it defaults to its predictive data set.

Yeah the difference is probably exaggerated by these numbers, but I'd agree. Kris's stocks are slightly down, he's fouling more and defensive rebounding less even if eye test feels similar. Anecdotally, Jerami has been the biggest culprit for our poor transition defense (along with Deni) and...

EPM is the most highly regarded all in one metrics so I like to look at it from time to time..... Like all of these types of +/- stats, its best used comparing players in similar roles, but I think it does a pretty good of encapsulating things. For those unfamiliar with the stat, the values...

Ebuka Okorie at Stanford has been the biggest surprise freshman for me so far.... He's going have to improve his at-rim decisions vs better competition, but the handle creativity and burst are special. Not a super advanced passer, but turning it over at the it unbelievably low rate for how...

Steinbach didn't look like an NBA guy to me in his only game vs good competition. He's not big enough to have that slow of feet defensively.

Really fun game. Missed the Bulls game so been a while since I've been able to say that. Caleb, Tou and Rob all had their best games of the year. Deni continues his All Star level play. DC put up another big stat line too. Nice to see him take advantage of a couple a small teams. Still would...

His time will come... But yeah with Bane struggling they need someone with his off ball ability to breathe some life into their offense. Tyus Jones also looks pretty cooked as a player

Oh dang. My little things King. The jumper looks a little better and I yelled inappropriately loud when he stole that split cut pass against the Warriors haha. He's been a little tunnel visiony on drives (another guy that's being asked to dribble too much right now without Scoot), but I can't...

Sorry, misspoke. Was referring to matching his offer sheet from Dallas 2 years ago

- Jrue is such a lovely basketball player and has increased my enjoyment level of this team exponentially. He fits so seamlessly into what we are trying to do and looks like he's having fun playing on the ball more after playing a limited role in Boston the last 2 years. The patience in the pick...

Kind of surprised Malcolm retired. Heart must not be in it anymore....physically he looked good to go and better than any other bench guard for NY minus McBride this preseason (Clarkson is going to be a huge bust of a signing imo) ...And they are down Hart to start the year most likely.

Jase Richardson has been very impressive so far on preseason. Orlando needed a dynamic off ball player and now they've got two in Des and Jase. Very high on what they could do this year. Wendell looks like he's set for a bounce back offensive year too. Jumper looks pure and overall just a way...

Very enjoyable group of people/personalities. Excited to root for them again this year.

Tough news. Hope they don't rush him back. For now....you pray Jrue holds up and can play 32-34 minutes a game and Deni and Shaedon are able to take on more ball handling / playmaking duties. Jrue 32/ Deni 16 Shae 32 / Tisse 16 Tou 33 / Tisse 6 / Murray 9 Deni 19 / Grant 26 / Murray 3 Clingan...
