I made a mistake due to not checking and believing the announcer

Slovenia qualified no matter the result

Still, Stefan played great game and at one moment it was uncertain for Slovenia actually

[Elek Lenard @Elek_Lenard]

Stefan Joksimovic ('08) sends Slovenia into 2nd phase of FIBA qualifications with three consecutive three-pointers! (point differential)*

Best game of his career for the national team, even though Slovenia lost:

19 min
22 pts
3 reb
2 ast
0 to
3/7 for three
4/11 for 2
5/5 ft

*Slovenia needed not to lose by more than 17 points, and without Joksimovic catching fire, Sweden could make that lead possible

Finally hooked Liga ACB to my app - here are the Top 10 leaders in RAPM (NBA stat for garnering individual plus/minus impact) + scoring/possession battle impact stats for the Spanish Liga ACB.

Fair to say Sergio De Larrea needs to be higher in people's NBA draft boards...

@Taiokaion @Nittanylion02 I think Caruso had more of an helper role and less on-ball in Chicago

[Igor Pavlović @igor_pavlovicc]

Enjoyed speaking with Randy Livingston Jr. about his basketball journey, representing Italy at U16 EuroBasket, and his commitment to Texas State...

@Nittanylion02 You are correct from a numbers standpoint im just saying how people perceive it. Of course, they will remember questionable calls more easily than regular ones, and with frequency of drives Shai has, it is natural that there will be some bs calls

[Elek Lenard @Elek_Lenard]

@Nittanylion02 To be honest i am not sure we can have a measurement of defensive intensity but for me, it looks like Caruso increased his intensity in comparison to the time he was in Chicago, is more on-ball and less in some kind of help/roamer role he was in CHI

[Elek Lenard @Elek_Lenard]

@Nittanylion02 Some teams play/played similar to OKC but there was no Shai who draws fouls in a way that looks contradictory to their defense

[Elek Lenard @Elek_Lenard]

@Nittanylion02 Thunder play with such physicality they know refs will feel discomfort to call fouls as frequently as they should

Result is Thunder get called less fouls than it looks they should

Other teams could try, but it takes certain personnel but also psychological tendencies of players

[Elek Lenard @Elek_Lenard]

@taylormetrics So the wrong is in how people use it yes

[Elek Lenard @Elek_Lenard]

@taylormetrics They win with him on the court

its not measurment of a player's total quality nor a description of how, but its how much he is good for lineups with him (without variance adjustment)

[Elek Lenard @Elek_Lenard]

@JBBHoops1 @dlee4three I think it isn't developed badly (H, but it could be more optimal. But Ware is still fairly young

[Elek Lenard @Elek_Lenard]

@dlee4three I agree with whole notion of the post now because i didnt see how less frequent he is in PNR Rollman play type

That is just too low and we know reason is playing next to Bam

[Elek Lenard @Elek_Lenard]

@creedoeone And Bartorvik is at fault cause top 100 is somewhat arbitrary. 90-130 aren't much distinguishable

But its more fair than to believe game which BYU had 50% chance to win by more than 35 points is equaly meaningful as games against teams where AJ and BYU faced real challenge

[Elek Lenard @Elek_Lenard]

stl% and blk% aren't the law for becoming NBA defender, but like

If someone isn't exploiting lower level college ofenses by getting steals and blocks, there is obvious problem

[jj @MIKELBR0WN]

@GlightyearV2 just really think you can’t pass on the self creator at 6’9 with tools to project as a good defender longterm.. like we never seen nothing like this ever in terms of fluidity. he’s #1 in a tier of his own DP 2 then Booz 3

[Elek Lenard @Elek_Lenard]

@creedoeone My wrong is i am anchoring bias in a small sample size situation

But your wrong is negating the truth that small sample size is working in favor of AJ, not against him cause 5 stl vs bad team buffed his numbers when against top 100 comp his numbers are nowhere close
