anthony edwards is so sick, and i hope basketball reference can come up with an advanced stat that can show how awesome rookies are without being biased an unusable like winshares or bpm. Both unfairly malign guys who just love buckets like ant and poku.

The Detroit bad boys blog has a post about isaiah stewarts massive improvement in fg%, but saves the fact that he's a bottom of the league, zingis post injury level bad defender for the last couple paragraphs. Defense is the number 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7 most important skill for a center. 🥵

Less seeds are wrapped up now too. Teams could still jump a lot of spots if the chips fall right.

Lakers going on the road for two weeks now is pretty bad timing although managing to go .500 without LeBron is impressive even if it mostly came on the backs of bad teams. Most of those bad teams have more talent than they currently have.

Really good Jon Schumann article about Zion from nba.com. Zion isn't like Larry Johnson, he's much better, he's like a perfect on offense larry johnson/charles barkley but without rebounding, which is bizarre but sort of reasonable when you see how short he is. NBA.com is one of the last free sites with good articles regularly. Gratis asketball coverage on the net isn't what it used to be https://www.nba.com/news/power-rankings-notebook-week-15 (click through to see gifs and graphs and the rest of the article) In his second season, Zion Williamson has not extended his range. He’s taken 82% of his shots in the restricted area, the third highest rate among 251 players with at least 200 field goal attempts and down just a tick from last season (85%). In 68 career games, Williamson has made 19 shots (on 56 attempts) from outside the paint. Four of those 19 came in his rookie debut. But his work in the paint, along with the seventh highest free throw rate (52 attempts per 100 shots from the field) among those 251 players, has Williamson ranking eighth in scoring at 26.4 points per game. Though he’s made just eight 3-pointers, Williamson has the highest true shooting percentage (66.2%) among the 47 players with a usage rate of 25% or higher. Last season, Williamson scored 15.8 points per game in the restricted area, the highest mark in the 25 years for which we have shot-location data. This season, he’s destroying his own record, averaging 17.9 restricted-area points per game. The goal for the Pelicans’ offense in regard to the 20-year-old is the same as it was last season: Get him into the paint with enough runway for him to launch himself toward the rim, where he combines a deft touch with an uncanny ability to slice his wide body through however many defenders might be there (or just bounce off them). But the ways in which the Pelicans have achieved that goal have changed. According to Second Spectrum tracking, Williamson had the ball for 5% of the time he was on the floor last season. Through the Pelicans’ first 23 games this season, that rate was up to a little less than 7%. And over the last 23 games, it’s over 11% (and almost even with that of Brandon Ingram). According to Synergy tracking, Williamson has seen big jumps in the percentage of his ball-controlling types of possessions (isolation and pick-and-roll ball-handler): Dejan Bimble fucked around with this message at 19:27 on Apr 1, 2021 |

Zion is just a fascinating player to watch and then later look up the stats on. I need more teams to start trapping and hard doubling him before he gets a chance to put the ball on the floor just to see how he learns to counter it. E: I say this because walling him off hasn't worked, playing off him when he catches the ball on the perimeter hasn't worked, coming with a double after he has already started dribbling hasn't worked, etc. Kibner fucked around with this message at 19:31 on Apr 1, 2021 |
