extrapolating numbers to per/36 is fun

jordan hill would be putting up 15/13

What's funny is you're being sarcastic when you're actually partially right

Lopez
Anderson
Smith

All those guys deserve playing time

That said, Davis obviously deserves more time, but Monty is stubborn like Nate

The only one of those three that is actually any good is Anderson. The other two have no business getting PT over Davis.
 
whatever happened to Josh Selby?
 
Somethings thats being overlooked by the people saying "Drummond/Davis could win the award if given 40m". They are fouling at a rate WAY to high to get 40m. Also Drummond is shooting an amazing 15% at the line so any crunch time situation you can't play him or your fucked if he gets fouled and besides the fact Davis is also fouling at a high rate he has had injury concerns pop up left and right.

I'm talking about their per36 numbers, they're playing 20 and 28 respectively another 15 or 10 minutes per game and they'd be serious competition for Lillard.

Those are meaningless stats. If Babbitt comes in for a two minute stretch and hits a three, that doesn't mean that he'd score 54 points if he played 36 minutes. Geesh.

Troll harder.
 
Nik in case you were wondering, I just got home and crawled into bed.
 
Damian should have won the eastern ROM too. That's hoe much better he is.

birdman putting up 20/14 with 3 blocks per 36 so far with miami

I'm sure it's wildly speculative to assume that if Drummond or Davis played ten or fifteen more minutes per night that there's no way they could sustain their efficiency and production, because it's exactly the same as a player playing 5 minutes a night. Right?
 
just as speculative that javalle mcgee is an all star at 19.4/9.1/3.8 blocks

drummund needs to catch brad beal to win one in the east, hes won the last two after mkg took it in nov, and to be honest kyle o quinn might be ahead of him on that list also, with more points and blocks per36, not to mention he can shoot free throws

and anthony davis is averaging 29 mpg, pretty typical for a rookie big...he very well might win one or a couple months, but its not like he is withering away without opportunity
 
Davis is just what I thought he'd be. A taller skinnier Okafor!

No of course not, but if they were playing 35+ minutes a night at their current level of production, they'd be having better seasons than Dame.

Talk to their coaches then. Start a letter writing campaign or something.
 
This Carlito guy is a trip huh? Calls me out and when I question him on it, disappears.

Hey Mr. Chakalaka, when are we racing our cars? I think I can take you in that slow american hot rod!

I don't get Monty at all ... like nada, nunya, nonce.

I thought I posted this last Friday, but it didn't go through. So, I'll try again.

Perhaps Monty is just doing what every other coach in the league tries to do - win enough games to keep his job. I'm not sure why, but the more Davis plays, the more the Hornets lose.

I posted this in another thread last week:

It's also interesting that, according to 82games.com, that Davis out produces his individual opponent (+4.5), but his team does worse when he's in the game (-4.5). Lillard has less of an edge on his individual opponent (+2.3), but has a HUGE positive impact on his team's performance (+10.8 - tied for 10th in the league among players who have started at least 20 games).

The fact that the Hornets, as a team, are -4.5 per 48 when Davis is on the court may explain why they lose at such an alarming rate as his PT increases

Now, here's the part I meant to post, and I haven't seen any one else comment on this trend:

When Anthony Davis plays more than 27 minutes in a game, the New Orleans Hornets are a truly pathetic 3-19. That's a .136 winning percentage. When Davis plays less than 27 minutes, or not at all, the Hornets are a much more respectable 12-14 (.462 winning percentage).

That's a HUGE discrepancy in winning percentages. I haven't watched NOH enough, or looked at enough data to try to figure out what's going on, but perhaps Monty has noticed this too and is limiting Davis' PT in an effort to win more games. Maybe he noticed that the Hornets played better as a team when Davis was injured.

I'm not not saying that Davis sucks. He obviously has talent, but for whatever reason, he sure isn't helping his team win many games right now.

It's called the Hornets are 9-9 in games Eric Gordon plays in

6-24 in games he doesn't play in

Sorry, I don't see what this has to do with the Hornets losing more when Davis plays more that 27 minutes.

Davis has played in all 18 games Gordon has played in, but he's only played 27 or more minutes in 7 of those games. In those 7 games, the Hornets are 1-6 (.143). In the games Gordon played in, and Davis played less than 27 minutes, they are 8-3 (.727).

Yes, they win more games, in general, when Gordon plays, but their winning percentage when Davis plays more than 27 minutes changes very little, with (.143) or without (.136) Gordon. The fact remains, when Anthony Davis plays more than 27 minutes, the New Orleans Hornets lose about 86% of the time. Maybe that's why Monty is reluctant to play him big minutes.

Does nobody else find it compelling that the Hornets lose at such a high rate when Davis plays more? If you were his coach and noticed this trend, wouldn't you be inclined to play him less in order to save you job? Not bench him, he's the No. 1 pick after all, but limit his play to 20 - 24 minutes if it increases chance of winning more games.

What's the correlation between Davis' and Rivers' playing time? That would be interesting to see.
 
BTW, the Blazers are 24-23 when Damian Lillard plays more than 27 minutes. He's actually played at least 30 minutes in every game. They are also 15-10 when Lillard plays more than 38 minutes. It seems Lillard playing big minutes has a net positive impact on the Blazers chances to win, while Davis plying big minutes has a definite negative impact on the Hornets odds of winning.

Maybe that's why Lillard plays the big minutes and wins Rookie of the Month and Davis doesn't.

Davis is pretty talented and has a good understanding of help D for a rookie, but the Hornets are pretty limited with him on the floor becuase offensively he's more of a center in the way about 90% of his offense is set up from teammates or off of putbacks, but defensively he gets muscled around 1 on 1 by big power forwards let alone true centers. Combined with an offensively talented PF in Anderson who stretches the D, and a true C in Lopez who's having a pretty decent year on the roster and I think like BNM said Monty is just playing the lineups that win as opposed to worrying about getting his top pick minutes and numbers at the expense of the team.

Not sure. That's a lot of data to analyse. It's true Rivers sucks, but in games he plays over 27 minutes, the Hornets are 5-12 (.294). Not spectacular, but more than twice as good as Davis' 3-19 (.136).
