What's new

Trey Burke is #8 on the "brick index"

Some of these numbers just don't make much sense to me. There's no way to quantify any variables like quality of teammates and opponents, playing hurt or coming back from injury or offensive vs. defensive style of play.

Actually, there is a way and the stats geeks have been doing this for a while now.


Trey Burke is a winner. That to me is worth more than any random interpretation of numbers to support an agenda.

Sure, he's a winner just like Mo Williams is a winner. I mention Mo because a) this team would win more games if Mo were still here and Trey weren't, b) Mo is likely Trey's ceiling. Trey will get on a good team in a bad player year and make an all star game because of it, but he's not going to be better than average at pg over the course of 10 years.
 
Relevant -- I tweeted this .gif to Gordon Chiesa and Matt Harpring yesterday with some questions on why Corbin is running this play this particular way.
