Rubio/Crowder threes vs. Conley/Bogdanovic threes

One thing about this entire post that I think I noticed was the idea of adding 2.3 points per game is based only on the point differential of 3-point shooting. What about the overall point differential. What would be the difference if you added 2-point shooting and free throws?

And turnovers.

Last year Conley was the #1 option and really some nights the only option for the Grizzlies and Bogdanovic was the #1 option for the Pacers, they're now going to be the second and third options for the Jazz. They should get better looks this season because the defenses won't be able to focus on them as much.

Conely is going to have a bigger role most of the time than just being a 2nd option. I'd expect our offense to run similarly to Rubio's first season in Utah. Mitchell will take over in 4th quarters, but Conely is going to be setting the pace for the offense at least through the first half. Last year our offense struggled more because Mitchell was asked to do too much in the first half and was worn out down the stretch.

Yeah that's another point that should hopefully help both the defensive and offensive numbers, as much as we all like Ricky's heart he had some bad TO's and overall just a bit too many whereas so far in Conley's career he's been much more secure with the ball.

Lets just hope we are more improved offensively than we are degraded on the defensive end.

We will have to see to be certain, but replacing Rubio, Crowder, and Favors with Conley, Bojan/Royce, and Davis seems like an awful lot like a wash. I never subscribed to the supposed defensive power of Rubio.
 
Also consider that Rubio's EFG% went from 42% to 47% on a lot more shots under the Jazz than with Minny. Fairly certain they were leaving Rubio open in Minny too. He just got a lot better shots with the Jazz, even with their semi-gimped offense. Give those shots to Conley, who starts with a 51% efg as the focus of the other team's defense in Memphis.

My thoughts. I don’t think we’re different defensively.

I know what they’re doing and why. My point is, to this point, most ppl, maybe even the far majority, is betting the over. Setting it now at 54.5 does not necessarily mean ppl will bet the under. Tbh not an overly scientific thing. More just whenever one thing is bet, the other thing usually comes in. It’s like this way in the nfl. My buddy runs a pool every year. Whenever one team is bet by 80+% of the participants, the other team covers like 80% of the time. Not saying I’m right btw. This is just what my lifelong addiction tells me.

You think Vegas gambles too? How precious.
 
I love how some novices seem completely unaware of the fact that Vegas does not always move the lines if the majority of bettors are taking action on one side.
