FWIW, just 5 minutes of research is enough to give someone pretty lousy feelings about the methods of calculating an individual player’s defensive rating. I’d definitely trust a good eyeball over it; and even more definitely trust methods that incorporate team defense in some way (although I...

This is what you’re referring to?

Show us, then. I’d legit appreciate it.

Lol what about “other statistics”?

It’s too bad Powell is hurt. I could see them looking to spike their offense and swapping him for JC.

Despite the way it can look at times, the Raptors are close to be pretty damn good. They need a guy who can use a lot of offensive possessions while being at least average in efficiency (not an easy piece to find, I admit).

I think the discussion about JC trades needs to focus on some teams that are likely to get particularly desperate and those that are likely to realize their offenses are stuck at league average and therefore want to roll the dice on an accelerant like JC. I'm looking at Portland (Larry Nance...

It feels like a pipedream to me, tbh. Boston has the bare minimum of ball-handlers who distribute the ball, so swapping Smart for Clarkson doesn't make much sense to me. This isn't to say that Boston couldn't use JC, though. I think they definitely could.

one lol wasn't enough. so, lol.

How about something realistic, instead?

We’ll obviously have to overcome a 50-point performance from D’Angelo, then

So much heavy speculation. Is it made ok because you say “it’s impossible to know”?

I’m other words, we have the absolutest crumbs when it comes to darft assets.

There’s an absolute maniac bulldog somewhere in both Oni and Forrest. Our player development doesn’t seem to let that freak out. I wonder if it prunes it back, in fact.

I like that question, fwiw. Nobody behind him is forcing the issue right now, though.

Bogie had more quick-catch-shoot 3s last night. More of that pls.

I’m pro-Bogie, fwiw. I’m not advocating for any trades, for example. There’s no question that he gets hunted by opposing offenses. And that Gay would have been better during those 17.9 seconds is just a super-specific example of me saying that he’s limited in some ways.

I guess you couldn’t read the part where I admitted to being primed to OVERREACT? I have no idea why I click to un-hide your comments sometimes.

I’m super impressed by Garland’s development. I know year-3 is typically the big leap for guards, if they make it, but he’s made a particularly big one. His decision-making is light years beyond his first two years. It’s too bad that Okoro’s development isn’t working out better for them. If...

Q can get ride-or-die. I used to talk about this with Crowder.
