the other problem the suns' had with that pick is that they're obv trying to win now and it's hard to do that while also bringing along a top but raw prospect
this is why the cavs traded wiggins and it's why it makes no sense for the knicks to go out and sign greg monroe and rajon rondo or whatever
but they shuold've cashed that pick in for someone better than brandon knight because the top 5 prospects in this draft are very good

if this is their mindset they're morons. A team built around Kieff, Bledsoe and Alex Len isn't exactly a team whose window is closing.
If the Spurs lucked into a top 5 pick they'd just pick a great player and move on.

lance has played on uniformly awful offenses for his entire career, like bottom fourth of the nba bad. you can't completely eliminate his role in that i guess but he has a unique skillset and it would be interesting to see him play on a team that has established competence on that end.
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 15 April 2015 20:22 (eight years ago) link

― slothroprhymes, Wednesday, 22 April 2015 21:04 (eight years ago) link
By the end of the regular season, Korver had accumulated 182 points more than an “average” shooter would have from his exact same shooting opportunities. Once you account for volume, it’s clear that Korver had the most efficient scoring season in the league by a wide margin.Points Above Average Shooter per 100 Shots (minimum 500 attempts):1. Kyle Korver, plus-30.22. DeAndre Jordan, plus-17.43. J.J. Redick, plus-17.24. Stephen Curry, plus-17.05. Brandan Wright, plus-16.6
Points Above Average Shooter per 100 Shots (minimum 500 attempts):

― slothroprhymes, Wednesday, 22 April 2015 21:17 (eight years ago) link
well measuring shooters league wide based on korvers constellation of shots is silly, those shots are the ones korver is good at! thats why he takes them! its like saying kyle korver is the best at being kyle korver, btw is it even clear from the article what hes talking about, does he just casually slide from the constellation data set to a general points per shot metric i cant tell
and then like just generally maybe some of the stuff hes saying is true but its just not very informative, he cldve dug deeper and like compared currys catch and shoot percentage to korvers, their % on open shots etc, but instead hes just all this guy is very efficient! cool i guess, its decontextualized to the point of just being a factoid
also the headline straight up says korver is the best shooter
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 22 April 2015 21:30 (eight years ago) link
many of his pieces r even worse than this one conceptually tho
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 22 April 2015 21:32 (eight years ago) link
there's a part in that article about how korver is the best shooter where he brings up a data point that implies the next best shooter is deandre jordan which either makes you question either what kinda data we're looking at or if the author is paying attention to how he's making his points
― Clay, Wednesday, 22 April 2015 21:37 (eight years ago) link

― Clay, Wednesday, 22 April 2015 21:38 (eight years ago) link
his articles kinda come of as him looking at one of his pretty charts and going oh and this part and this part and this part and then realizing that he shd somehow try to string those thoughts into an argument by saying efficiency
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 22 April 2015 21:41 (eight years ago) link
also like he says efficiency but theres clearly some sort unmentioned floor as far as number of shots taken to qualify for the list of best shooters
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 22 April 2015 21:43 (eight years ago) link
yea there's no nuance to it, like no control put out there against his hypothesis (the league average as a whole is too wide a swath of data to really serve as such). the easiest one would be as you said, someone like curry, who's often creating threes right away for himself off the dribble
title is prob the result of an editor tryna get optimal SEO juice outta that shit

― #wegonnabechampionship (Spottie), Wednesday, 22 April 2015 21:47 (eight years ago) link
like i fully believe in sports stats and their proper implementation, etc. etc. but the literalism can be baffling, like for example you would much rather have marc gasol on yr team as center than deandre - even though deandre's FG% (like his number in this somewhat arbitrary metric) is higher - because whether gasol's percentage is lower or not he's inherently a more diverse shooter & offensive player
