Listening to the Open Court cast talk about Analytics man...this is why I say you don't need to play in the NBA to assess it. They are making a fool of themselves man Straight up speaking on a concept they know little to nothing about.

Err they are actually right. Also Charles brought up the most important topic. That Per 36 minute stat don't mean nothing. If dudes could produce at that 36 minute rate, they'd all be stars...... and that ain't the caseListening to the Open Court cast talk about Analytics man...this is why I say you don't need to play in the NBA to assess it. They are making a fool of themselves man

They are not right, far from it. Literally, their description of what analytics is and what it means to the game is all wrong. They legit were referring to it as simply an over emphasis on stats and that's just so far from the truth.

I've always thought per 36 was a completely worthless stat.

It's a good future indicator for budding players on the cusp.

Drummond per 36 was spot on like I said it would be though.

Great read on Juice. Exactly how I feel about him.

It ignores a ton of variables and it isn't all that reliable. Kind of like cooking and saying well if it takes 30 minutes at 420 degrees, it should only take 15 at 840 degrees. Would y'all say it's a consistent indication of a player's potential?

Loose handle and shaky jumper, but I'll give him a chance.

Watched him against the Clips and he didn't look much like an NBA Player to me. Was shocked because I pretty high on him.

what's the difference between the two? (i honestly am curious)Lmao so Analytics is just stats huh? Alright, i'm done with you
but to add to the discussion, having more stats/analytics is never a bad thing. knowledge is power
it all depends on how you interpret it

A 6'6" PG with skills and athleticism, who also is only 19 years old. Yeah, a lot not to like there.

Well for me, Stats is simply looking at the typical points, rebounds, assist, and then drawing a conclusion based on that. Everyone does this, but it's kind of just on the surface of it all.
Analytics actually take into account how those stats come about and the circumstances that promote those statistics to happen, which in turn allow for a much more reliable metric for analysis.

Isn't Daryl Morey like the poster boy for advanced analytics? Not saying it isn't useful but we see what can happen when it's taken to the extreme

Jimmer is about to flourish if he ever plays 36 mpg
whatever team that may be, will also win probably 4 games over the course of a season if Jimmer played 36 mpg

What exactly are we seeing though and what do you mean by taking to the extreme?

No. The poster boy for advanced analytics is John Hollinger.
