Proud of what we built there and will miss it.
I am still undecided on what's next but I do have more than a few things in the lab.
Willie Cauley-Stein is currently playing in Puerto Rico
Justice Winslow played for the Raptors 905 this season
Stanley Johnson (Roberts) played for the Stockton Kings this season
Lakers FT differential pre and post the Refs apologizing to them 1/29/23
Before:
2.96 per Game
After:
9.175 per Game
Lakers have also never lost FT diff by more than 5 FT since.

Here's the referenced Model.
It uses Darko, EPM, RAPM and my own PM model.
Minutes are from @kpelton and @hashtbasketball
I will be updating it.

@DataStrictly I know itβs a 290lb βifβ, but if Zion is healthy, how are the Pelicans not a 50+ win team? Iβm looking at Over 44.5 +100 on Caesars with big bug eyes. My only question is, where do the wins come from? Who is getting worse from last year? Grizz def. Who else? #NBA
Denver
Fiddled w/ their depth and added a slightly better backup C at the cost of a player that was surplus to them now in Bones.
They're by far the top team in the West in the projections and overall in half of them.
Cs/Nuggets is the Finals the models keep forecasting.
Boston
Stevens is a great GM.
Small improvement at margin in adding Muscala for some big depth.
Cs are basically at top or close to it in every model w/ their playoff rotation.
Biggest Q is how many min from Rob.
Horford (like all vets) I expect to improve in the playoffs a bit.
This is a bad deal for the Suns.
Beal is the most overrated player in the league and he's exactly the wrong sort of asset for the Suns to go get.
Very Marbury to the Knicks trade.
Ok.
NBA Playoff model results:
49-30 on Moneyline bets (20% ROI)
9-3 on series bets (42% ROI)
11-5 on all Futures Bets (100% ROI)
Oh and that doesn't count Miami/Denver exacta at 14-1.
Good playoffs.
The big edge this year was using a stable minutes model and also a composite of models for player projections.
Results were very good and in general the model had a great read on the actual series margins.
