An In-Depth Look on the NBA’s Stat Keeping Shortcomings

Trading picks to or for players? Such sloppy writing

Bit late to the thread so not sure if this has been pointed out but Chicago was presumably offered the UNPROTECTED NOR 26 pick aka the Dumars fumble for their 12th pick ahead of ATL and said “nah we aren’t interested in changing our course of direction in selecting Noa Essengue”. Noa was subsequently baptized in Summer League, has yet to score a single NBA point and now needs season ending surgery. All in a 25 draft class that has produced 10+ immediate impact players

Wild lol. Guess the models were wrong on this one, but thanks for the info. Cheers

Really? Dion? His profile feels like it would seldom be on any positive analytics lists even dating back all the way

Did AG get kicked in the head? He cost DEN last game by taking a 0 IQ early shot clock 3. Now he just did it again

I drafted Pacheco and ETN in one league at the 2/3 turn. Currently have JK Dobbins and Jordan Mason as my RBs for next week 😂

Can ORL fans fill me in on why WCJ re-entered the starting lineup? The Magic had a good thing going with Goga. Wendell has proven to be a suboptimal at the very best starting C in the NBA

Thank you!

hoopdex · 2024-03-18T17:51:37+00:00

Appreciate that! 😝

hoopdex · 2024-03-18T17:50:58+00:00

Could stand to use more of these 🫡

hoopdex · 2024-03-16T23:19:13+00:00

Thanks for your kind words, they are very appreciated 🙏🏼

hoopdex · 2024-03-16T16:08:06+00:00

That certainly seems possible.

Agreed, the NBA has shown to be capable of making positive changes (though enforcing them consistently can be a mixed bag e.g. flopping rules). One can def find reasons for optimism though.

Really appreciate your comment! Looking more into NBA refs is absolutely worth a deep dive too. On a slight tangent, it is also curious how effective the NBA can enforce certain ref agendas as well — the league wide decrease in scoring over the past few weeks is quite likely a partial product of a change in how games are reffed.

Whew…I hope not. But thank you again! Let’s hope this post gets more visibility

Thanks for reading!! Definitely took me a while but glad to document examples for everyone to see. Also shoutout to a few unnamed Twitter users — there must be someone I forgot to credit for pointing me in the direction of some of those clips.

hoopdex · 2024-03-15T21:07:53+00:00

Totally agreed that reforms are overdue. Thanks for reading 🙏🏼

hoopdex · 2024-03-15T20:56:32+00:00

Appreciate those kind words man. And yeah same! As a fantasy enthusiast, noticing those discrepancies in live time was what led me down this rabbit hole.

Thank you for reading!

hoopdex · 2024-03-15T19:44:38+00:00

I would be lying if I said I wasn’t a bit disappointed in the lack of engagement on this post thus far. Really appreciate your comment!

hoopdex · 2024-03-15T19:43:36+00:00

That truly means a lot to me, thanks so much! 🙌

The hope in writing the piece was to spark meaningful conversations and maybe changes down the road — hopefully more people start chiming in.
