You could also look at PER. Funny how all the advanced stats are pointing towards one weak link.

It isn’t just advanced stats… he’s shooting under 40% overall and under 20% from three with a 1.5/1 ast/to ratio… he better be prime Kawhi on defense with those numbers.

I think teams will start to take advantage of that more and more as the season goes on.

On the flip side Jazz are protecting the three at a very good rate. It is why we have the record we have.

lol @ using individual +/-

Are there any useable stats? Like zero free throws, zero 3 pointers, zero assists, zero steals, zero rebounds, zero blocks, 2 points to go along with the team worst by far in plus/minus.

It’s gets even better… he has a player option this year.

I'm not even commenting on THT's game.

Individual +/- is a meaningless stat to use to determine how a player is performing. Especially a role player. There's 9 other variables that go into it that are completely outside of the player's control.

Playing a switching scheme with two 6'1 guards against Luka Doncic is a tanking scheme.

Ya I couldn't believe how often conley and sexton guarded doncic.

If i were scouting the jazz my gameplan would be to attack the paint like mad. We have no rim protection over 60 points in the paint given up tonight.

Yep. Kessler showed a little promise the first few games but none of our starting bigs are rim protectors.
Danny needs to add length/athleticism to our stable of wings and bigs in the next few drafts.
Kelly O really tries but he almost fouls out of every game.

 

[fishonjazz]

Good game, we were close agasint a good team ( and Luka). Refs did a bad job as usual when they officiate agaisnt superstar. Not a big deal.

Ya two of our players are in the top 4 for fouls per game. A tank team wont get respect from the refs.

His PER is the worst on the team for any rotation player.

Btw, Are Markkanens' family still living in a hotel, or do they have already proper housing for more permanent stay? Off topic maybe, but RL things can easily impact to a things, particularly with two small children.

 

[fishonjazz]

That last play should have went back to Lauri after the inbounds, he was wide open. Oh well, great effort

I thought there was time for a pump fake by clarkson and then jump into the defender for 3 free throws but that is nit picky.

It must just be a coincidence that all of the best players in the NBA always have a high +/-.
