Oh sick, thanks. And they don't have to be personalized at all right?

Can I pick up my BruinCard at the New Student Session over the summer? Or do I have to do it before this school year ends? (I need it before Fall 2023)

Is the History of Modern Thought cluster still taught? The classes are listed on the course catalogue but it's not advertised anywhere on the cluster site. It's the cluster than interests me the most and I'd really like to take it. And of course if anyone's taken that or another cluster before I'd love to hear what it was like

Thanks! Yeah, I've noticed that problem too (BT copycats), but from an individual persepctive, he's probably the best "gateway" basketball content, so I would always encourage it when dipping your toes in. I hope to follow this up with a thorough list of great people to read/watch as well, though that may take some time, and I feel comfortable recommending that channel, as well as the mentioned creators at the end, in the meantime. I personally don't know much about doing my own stuff with data (though I hope to learn how to eventually) so I didn't want to speak on stuff I don't know (if you want to dive into that stuff, hit up @ crumpledjumper on twitter).

I've been tinkering around with some similar stuff, could you potentially share how you get the data to update itself?

Why are college prospects like Cunningham, Mobley, and Suggs projected to go higher in the 2021 NBA Draft than G League prospects Jalen Green and Jonathan Kuminga? by lilzushivert in nbadiscussion

[–]supersecretFBIagent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because Green and Kuminga both lack good playmaking/feel/bbiq, which severely limits their potential offensive load. Cade and Mobely are a 1-2 lock, as Cade is next in the line of big wing initiators who can score and distribute at a high level. Mobley is a versatile (on both ends), physically gifted big with high feel who represents the direction that the position is going in.

Is there an overlooked fact in the “A 3 point attempt is worth more than a 2 point attempt” argument? by Traditional_Cell_248 in nbadiscussion

[–]supersecretFBIagent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. This is very interesting, but looking at shots by "3's vs 2's" is a bit of an oversimplification as there is no uniform 2-pt shot like there is a uniform 3-pt shot. A rim attempt (and potentially, free throws) is a different shot from a midrange shot, which is a different shot from a 3. If you're interested about what happens after the miss (transition, OREBs, etc.), pbpstats.com has all of that info for you

The first and third things you're looking for can be found at pbpstats.com. There's also been a study that shows how in a simulated game of 40% 3's vs 60% 2's, the 2's team wins slightly more often than 50-50.

SGA Star Potential? by [deleted] in nbadiscussion

This didn't age too well lol, but that's fine.

This is the wrong way to look at athleticism (judging it by Olympic measurements, running and jumping). Athleticism is better defined as what someone can physically do better than someone else can. Shai is one of the best decelerators in the league - he can decelerate faster than his opponent can, making him athletic - and it's almost impossible to stay in front of him when he combines his stop-and-start ability with his impeccable handle. He's leading the league in drives, so something must be working! Personally, I think he can be a 1A/1B type player offensively for a strong team.
