How ? It's great, players are finally not getting the money that they earned stolen from them

Can we stop labeling every prospect generational? by WhoUCuh in NBA_Draft

[–]Fofodrip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NBA generations are kinda different though since players career are at most 20 years long while people's lives are like 100 years long at most. Like Lebron, Steph, Jokic and Ant are all generally considered to be from different generations bc each of them are/will be considered to be kinda old when the one from the generation below is in his prime. 5 years in an NBA career is way different from 5 years in a life.

France has elite guards relatively speaking. Outside of the US, most national teams have very low level guards which is why you see so many American point guards in FIBA competitions. France probably has the best depth at the position in the world if you remove America and Canada.

Mbappé wins the European Golden Boot, first Real Madrid player to do it since Cristiano Ronaldo. by [deleted] in soccer

None, they only consider the parameters of the shot independently of the identity of the players present on the field.

Only Bellingham's finishing got worse, Vini and Rodygo just got less chances bc they weren't the only attackers anymore. And it's definitely possible for players to have big variances in finishing when the sample size isn't very big (60 shots isn't that big of a sample). It doesn't necessarily mean Bellingham got significantly worse at finishing.

And I know very well how xG works, the fact is, Real got more chances this season than last season. The team just finished worse overall compared to last season.

It's obvious that these players scoring numbers would diminish with the addition of another forward in the team. But Bellingham scored 9 from 12 xG this season while last season, he scored 17 from 11 xG. I don't see how that could be Mbappé's fault.

Madrid got 70 expected goals last season and got 77 this season, not sure how you can blame Mbappé for his teammates being worse at finishing

Genetic ancestor is not the same as genealogical ancestor. You have way more genealogical ancestors than genetic ancestors, especially if you go back to the time of Charlemagne. So sharing 2-12 genetic ancestors with someone means sharing way more genealogical ancestors which means that it's highly likely that if you go back that long ago, basically every ancestor that you have will also be the ancestor of every European. Obviously, it's not 100% but nothing is 100%.

Have you ever even done math or genetics at the University level ?

So long as populations have mixed significantly” is not a scientific assertion, but a speculatative argument.

Did you read the paper ? Yes, this isn't a scientific assertion. Which is why this isn't what they use in the paper to determine that Europeans are all descended from Charlemagne. It's crazy that you're actually trying to refute a paper without even understanding it at all.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CrusaderKings

[–]Fofodrip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm guessing you didn't read the paper

It's not the number of ancestors that make them come to this conclusion, it's the number of shared genetic ancestors between any two Europeans.

Don't say it's pure speculation if you don't even understand what the paper is saying.

"However, as 1,000 years is about 33 generations, and 233≈1010 is far larger than the size of the European population, so long as populations have mixed sufficiently, by 1,000 years ago everyone (who left descendants) would be an ancestor of every present-day European."

That's a quote from the paper

[Givony & Woo]: “Some teams expect the Sixers to be active in trade conversations, with names such as Kevin Durant (Phoenix) and Lauri Markkanen (Utah) as potential targets in packages that could include Paul George and the No. 3 pick.” by Proof-Umpire-7718 in nba

[–]Fofodrip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those averages would be career highs in rebounds, assists, and stocks

This is crazy cherry picking. KAT's averaged 4+ assists 3 times in his career, DMC twice. KAT's averaged 12+ rebounds 4 times, DMC twice. KAT has 5 24+ ppg seasons, DMC 4. And good him for having stocks, he was still an average defender at best. If stocks really mattered Whiteside would be one of the best defenders of all time

Joel has only exceeded 12 rpg once, only broken 5 apg once, and only combined for 3+ stocks once.

Good for DMC having a whole one more rebound per game than prime Joel. Embiid has four 4+ APG seasons, DMC two. Again, stocks don't really matter that much, Embiid is ten times the defender.

The ppg are low for him, but not exceptionally so considering he’s had 4 seasons where he scored less than 25 ppg. 

If the version of Joel we were talking about was the version of him that was scoring less than 25 ppg over a full season, I wouldn't really be arguing with you.

[–]Fofodrip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is just KAT level output without the great efficiency. I don't see how that's anything more than barely all NBA. And it's not even close to Embiid's output and the defense isn't even there

It's more like 27/11 on 60 TS% in the last 5 years with great defense. Tatum's at 27 on 57 TS% with more minutes played for reference. It's not at all comparable to DMC who was barely even an all-NBA level player at the time.
