The theory is:

- Players care about their per game stats because it helps them get recognition and money. In order to maximize per game stats, players want to play as many minutes as possible.

- More minutes = more injuries.

- If better measurements of impact were used, like per possession stats then there would not be an award/money incentive to play more minutes. In fact per possession and other impact stats might be optimized by less minutes.

- Less minutes = less injuries.

Exactly. Thanks you.
I don't follow college ball much at all but I was already saying he looks really good and thinking about his NBA future before he was even being thought of as a first round pick.
I don't bring up any non BYU players in the middle of a college bball season ever. But I did with Edey. Not many dudes are that big. And he was pretty skilled as well. Seemed to me like an NBA player at the time.

Looks like you, and Cy, were right about Zach Edey. I thought he was an intriguing prospect before the draft, but I wasn't entirely sure about him. He’s too much to handle around the basket and moves pretty well for his size. Also shows great effort. Runs across the court like a sprinter to defend the rim.
 
Niang, Collier, and Svi or Brice for Bogdonovic and a 2031 unprotected pick swap. Success on trade machine.

Why the clippers do it? Youth and some fire power at a bargain.

Why the jazz would do it? Collier is the odd man out with Key and Walt. I also feel like Svi takes minutes from Brice and Ace. You could interchange Brice and Svi here depending on who we like more long term. Niang just feels like a player the clippers would love to have when healthy. Improves the locker room cancer too. He does little for us outside of locker room guy even when healthy.

I wouldn't be so sure. Walt had a pretty nice game but on the whole, he's been a disaster this season. Collier's shot is shaky to say the least, but he plays a physical brand of basketball, and you need a guy like that in your backcourt. At least on the bench.

In the long run, we need to find a real starting point guard for this team anyway. Key ain't it either.
