@tylerbritton_ All credit goes to @jogeor_ again but his statement about a lot of people subconsciously ranking a player quality in terms of offensive responsibility even when the value doesn’t map out like that hits the nail on the head.

PF is such an interesting position because it often implies there being some defect that forces you to play there

Newest project: Statistical Height

Projects how tall a player is based solely on their statistical profile.

Aimed to see how “big” a player actually plays based on performance in stats positively correlated with height, independent of their listed height.

@5OUTISO Drafting wings who can barely play basketball for potential is still the most stupid thing that nba scouts do

Consequences of lottery reform could be felt for teams that owe future firsts and swaps.

Starting in 2027, 21 teams have at least 1 first/swap owed in the next 7 years.

Nothing against Purdue men’s basketball, but this board is invalid. Those settlements need to be two spaces apart!

While we're getting weird with it here are the top outlier high scores in NBA history based on that player's average and SD. Normality be damned, we're having some fun here.

Why the NBA should embrace tanking -

The NBA has kate been misguided thinking that fans want to see their teams compete every night with a chance to win. It’s never been that way that way.

When I got into the nba, they thought they were in the basketball business. They aren’t. They are in the business of creating experiences for fans.

Few can remember the score from the last game they saw or went to. They can’t remember the dunks or shots. What they remember is who they were with. Their family, friends, a date. That’s what makes the experience special.

Fans know their team can’t win every game. They know only one team can win a ring. What fan that care about their team’s record want is hope. Hope they will get better and have a chance to compete for the playoffs and then maybe a ring.

The one way to get closer to that is via the draft. And trades. And cap room. You have a better chance of improving via all 3 , when you tank.

We didn’t tank often. Only a few times over 23 years, but when we did, our fans appreciated it. And it got us to where we could improve, trade up to get Luka and improve our team.

The nba should worry more about fan experience than tanking. It should worry more about pricing fans out of games than tanking.

You know who cares the least about tanking , a parent who cant afford to bring their 3 kids to a game and buy their kids a jersey of their fave player

Tanking isn’t the issue. Affordability and quality of game presentation are

The Dallas Mavericks traded Trae Young for Luka Doncic and then traded Doncic for Anthony Davis and then traded Davis for Marvin Bagley.

So if you think about it, they traded up to #2 in the 2018 draft!

For two, unprotected firsts you have to at least consider taking on Poeltl

The Kings won’t be players in the FA market so taking on deals like this isn’t nearly as damaging

Especially after LaVine and DeRozan are off the books

Rebuilding teams take bad salary if they get paid draft picks to do it. We see it every year.
