Surprisingly Awesome Jazz Statistics

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Here's a lot more from Stock in a little infographic I made a year ago:

Here's some that I've found before that will get you excited for this season (I haven't read the thread yet, so there may be some others have said):

• When Rudy played more than 25 minutes this year the Jazz were 30-21 (48 win pace), less than 25 minutes or didn't play (injured games) Jazz were 10-21 (26 win pace)
• Jazz starting lineup for a lot of the year (Neto/Hood/Hayward/Favors/Gobert) had a NetRtg of 7.2, 8th best in the league for lineups with more than 300 MP.
• Gordon is the 4th best transition player in the league (min 200 poss). At 1.31 PPP he's only behind Lebron, KD, and Ariza. He's ahead of Curry, Antetekounmpo, PG, and lots more.
• Rodney is the 2nd best isolation player in the league (min 100 poss). At 1.08 PPP he's only behind Bosh. Ahead of Curry, Lebron, Durant, Westbrook, Lillard etc.
• George Hill is in the 85th percentile for spot up shooting at 1.11 PPP. Created the most spot up chances in the league last year, Pacers were 2nd to last. Giving him plenty more of these chances will only make him better. Our trio of PG's (Burke/Mack/Exum) last year shot at 1.02 PPP, or about 68th percentile.

Now we just need to actually run in transition.

My money is on the bet that we do a lot more of that this year.

My favorite "stat" for today: The assertion of the Jazz having the best bench in the league isn't really all that controversial over at RealGM. Hell, I have forgotten what a competent bench even looks like. . .

I'll likely end up doing analytical work in a government ministry or consulting firm. I should have plenty of opportunities to use Python -- It's a lot more flexible for data cleaning/management than (most/all?) statistical software (if STATA can do it, you can do it!). I'll probably pick up SQL at some point as well, as my basketball data -- particularly the raw player tracking data -- is unwieldy.

edit: I'm a lazy non-R user...should probably figure out R before moving on to SQL.

Yeah we use SQLite and postgres to manage hundreds of thousands of real estate and retail data points where I'm at. Solid stuff and really not to bad to learn or manage.

I used to read numerous reports and rumors of Jazz players at P3 Sports (or whatever it was called) but have not seen anything about it last offseason or this offseason.

Do Jazz players still go or has it been stopped?

Only stat that matters: # of rings = 0.

# of illegitimate kids? Do we know?
