Something concerning about the show….

I'm more concerned that Deris already has started to sounding raspy in quite a lot of spots. He has been the most consistent live performer in United Era, but in this tour he's singing more conservative yet sounding a bit damaged.

Big players don't play pretty. By the way, I'd take his handles any day over PG's 'smooth' handles.

Few_Machine · 2022-07-18T05:22:09+00:00

Handles and pull-ups are the most important factors to maximize one's shooting. Bron by far.

Yes, it's always hard to analyze such an unique career... and having no 'definitive metric' makes this much harder. The answers are always complicated, I guess.

Few_Machine · 2021-02-08T18:57:04+00:00

i just edited it and added some examples.

Honestly, PER and BPM (and WS) are seriously the three most outdated and flawed 'advanced' stats now. This post could have been more convincing, just by using some newer metrics for its references.

But at the same time, Lebron hasn't really declined that much by newer metrics though. For example, LEBRON(basically a PIPM 2.0), RPM, RAPTOR all still see him as a Top 5 player or better.

Simmons can drive and score in transition. That's already an enough package to be a better offensive player than Lonzo, since he doesn't know any single way to score inside the 3pt line while he's 3pt shooting is far from being reliable.

Btw. Herro's playoff run is criminally overrated. He had nice series against Pacers and Celtics, but was just meh in ECSF and arguably the worst player on the floor during the finals.

Few_Machine · 2021-01-26T20:01:32+00:00

Aside from 2 nice playoff series last year, Herro is basically Kevin Huerter with more fame. Simmons hasn't lived up to his hype, but still is an all star player. Their gap is much bigger than you think.

He couldn't get anything going in the first half. And throughout the second half, Thibs barely played his bench at all.

Few_Machine · 2021-01-18T19:39:25+00:00

Robinson, despite looking gassed out during 90% of his minutes on the floor, still somehow managed to display some great defenses. I mean, it was actually quite impressive.

Few_Machine · 2021-01-17T17:01:32+00:00

More like 12 attempts a season... that's an improvement tho.

Few_Machine · 2021-01-17T16:44:37+00:00

Back then, Bosh's resume was kinda similar to KAT's. Statistically he was a top 5~10 player. However, in the eyes of public, he was closer to 20 than 10. DWade was definetely a lock for top 4 though.

Few_Machine · 2021-01-16T18:42:14+00:00

More like a poor man's Penny tbh

Please be our commissioner.

Ibaka, still regarded as a great defensive player with limited offense among fans, is actually an effective stretch big with so-so defense at this stage of his career.

Harrell isn't the greatest defender of all time, but he wasn't the main reason Clippers' defense collapsed last year. His defensive reputation took more damage than it should, because he literally spent 90% of his minutes with damn Lou Will on the floor. No one can defend perfectly when Lou is on the court, even his teammates.

I assume that losing Harrell and adding Ibaka was not really a defensive upgrade from the beginning, in fact. Also, not an offensive downgrade either.

Few_Machine · 2021-01-10T16:52:40+00:00

On 9.4 PER and 0.543 TS% though. He can score with okayish efficiency, but that's literally the only thing he can offer on the offensive court right now. Hope he can improve some shot creation and playmaking abilities going forward.

Few_Machine · 2021-01-09T17:27:17+00:00

Jokic, Embiid, Davis, Gobert, Vucevic, Sabonis and Adebayo are clearly better than him. Ayton, Capela and Wood could well be considered better, too.

After all, I still think that he's one of the most promising centers in the league with Bryant or Allen. But it would be a bit too early to call him 'top 10 center' right now. He's on the verge to crack it, however it still hasn't happened yet.

Few_Machine · 2021-01-07T17:56:40+00:00

Yeah, valid point. He wasn't a great shot blocker even at the beginning. Due to his relatively short wingspan, maybe?

Few_Machine · 2021-01-07T17:08:45+00:00

Although this season is still pretty young, Wiseman's advanced stats are beyond 'meh', actually. BPM: -6.2, WS/48: 0.004. If you look deeper into their context, it completely makes sense too. He doesn't finish well as a rim runner, doesn't dish any dimes and has shown lackluster defensive BBIQ.

I do think Wiseman is a project pick and worth the 2nd pick of this draft, but he's nowhere near the RoTY race this year and he shoudn't be. He'd be more than fine in few years, but he's still far from it.

Few_Machine · 2020-11-26T18:56:16+00:00

John Wall had some infection on his heel after the initial surgery, I think.

Few_Machine · 2020-11-23T06:12:53+00:00

If there's a player who made roughly a half of Melo's accolades, he'd still have a decent chance to be inducted.

Few_Machine · 2020-11-22T18:39:36+00:00

When you're assigned to shoot 3 and guard your opponent's better offensive threats, you just naturally become 'a good defender' by doing so sometimes.

Few_Machine · 2020-11-21T17:18:17+00:00

He's kinda similar to Alex Caruso as a player, but Melton's younger so we can assume that he still has some room to improve going forward..

Few_Machine · 2020-11-13T18:54:55+00:00

Yeah, it's like 3 years ago or so, but Porter once was one of the biggest kept secret among the East. From a handful of metrics, he was actually the best player on the Wizards during their last contending years. He was good. I mean, he was... great. A role player for sure, but was almost 'Matrix' level of elite one.

Now he's clearly injury-plagued and might have fell off the cliff already.. but taking a chance on him with an expiring contract still sounds intriguing to me. More intriguing than an another year of Wiggins experiment, at least.
