I am most inclined to trade Favors. I've been singing this tune for months now. He's a good two way player, but he's way too inconsistent,

I've read you say this and have thought the opposite. Favors seems like our most consistent player. I ran comparisons against LeBron James, as he seemed a good standard bearer. Standard deviation for points is LBJ - 5.976741708, Favors - 6.187259669. Rebounds LBJ - 3.080043685, Favors - 3.41078171.


I have no clue how to measure consistency, but standard deviation in ppg and rpg seems good enough to me. By those measures, Favors is just a little less consistent than LBJ. LBJ gets many plays called for him. Favors gets few.

Does anyone want me to calculate their church ball consistencies next?

I consistently jack up ill advised threes and don't get back on defense.... Said every church baller ever

But LBJ PPG is way higher than Favors'. 6.2 STD for 16 PPG is huge. Obviously, the higher your point average, the higher your standard deviation will be. Doing a quick Google search, it appears that for players getting starter minutes, an STD of 4 would put you around the 50th percentile. Favors' -6 would put him closer to the edge of the normal distribution. And this isn't taking into account the strange lower back injury that he always seems to suffer from, and that might prove more of a determent in the future.

Like I said, I have no clue how to tell on this one but he seems more consistent to me than everyone else. He seemed to be the only guy I thought we could count on on any given night.

I just ran Hayward's numbers and he is 6.022821183 and 2.41062103. That guy seems very inconsistent to me but those numbers don't say so. I think a better way may be to count how many games they are below their standard deviation. Hayward had 12 @ 13 points or less plus two DNP's. Favors had only 6 @ 10 points or less and 20 DNP's. However, he also had 13 within 2 points of his n-1 where Hayward only had 4. That's about the same % of games within 2/3 of the low end of n-1 not counting DNP's.

Here's another: I don't know how to set a simple flex screen for a "big", or run one either. And what is pick and roll again?


Srs for anyone who plays church ball, convince them to run a simple flex screen in the lane for anyone who can make a layup 7-10 times per game. Your team will be unbeatable.

ask yourself how many points Derrick could put up with PGs not named Burke, Neto, or Mack.

Damn bruh, who the **** abbreviates standard deviation as STD?
