Conley has positive NETRTG, as seen here.
Unleash Tony Bradley
- Thread starter Saint Cy of JFC
- Start date
The Bradster is ready
Which means he isn't playing at all. But, four games in, he's played 10 minutes so far, so he's on pace to absolutely shatter the last two years' playing time totals.

I just think that Bradley will get time when the matchup is favorable to him. In those situations he could rip off a lot of points. I don't expect to see him face starters unless things have went really wrong for us. He's not going to supplant Ed Davis THIS year.

Conley has a severely negative NetRtg as seen here. Based on the "eye test," which one are you inclined to believe?
EDIT: My guess is the folks over at NBA.com couldn't believe that Conley's ORtg was in the high-60s, so they changed the 6 to a 9. No way his ORtg is 98.6.

Bradley was head and shoulders above almost everyone in summer league, so he definitely deserves a shot in the regular season. Since DAVIS provides no rim protection and is only 6’9”, Bradley should help with backing up Gobert especially if opponent is having an easy time getting buckets at the rim with Gobert out, as the Lakers were.

BBref's individual OFFRTG and DEFRTG measure something completely different. For BBRef, OFFRTG represents an estimate of the number of points the player scores per 100 possessions, whereas NBA.com's is showing how many points his team scores per 100 when he is on the floor. The BBref individual OFFRTG-DEFRTG is utterly useless. When people around mention those RTGs they always mean NBA versions.

Disagree. BBRef uses an estimate of the number of points PRODUCED by the player per 100 possessions, not actually SCORED by the player per 100 possessions. Depending on the accuracy and methodology of the "estimate," this can be a significantly more useful measure of an individual player's value than how many points the team happens to score while a player is on the court -- which in some cases can be completely a function of the other four players on the court. (See, e.g., the very example we are discussing: It just doesn't pass the eye test that Conley has had a net positive impact on point production while on the court so far this season.)
While I agree with your conclusion that most people utilize the NBA.com numbers rather than BBRef, I tend to think it is because it is an easier website to navigate, sort, etc., and is an easier default, not that the numbers are better. Indeed, I'm not sure they are.

Honestly surprised to see Mudiay Net Rating so high, made me curious over his OFFRTG and DEFRTG
Davis is on a one year deal. I think he could supplant him this year.
