And sinking some game winners? And hoisting a trophy?
There's gaining weight and there's gaining weight. It's one thing to crush down 5000 calories a day just to gain weight. It's an entirely...
WHY ISN'T He...in...the...oh, good.
Huertas droppin' dimes: Six Games: MIN 111.0 FG 11-25 (44%) 3s 3-9 (33%) FT 3-4 (75%) REB 17 3.2/G AST 37 6.1/G PTS 27 4.5/G
Ran all the rest of the Lakers' numbers: Gross Value (Low is Good) Huertas 1.77 Randle 2.27 Nance 2.98 Brown 4.41 Russell 4.64 Williams 5.13...
I'm sure he THINKS it's awesome for the ladies. It might surprise you - or it might not; I don't know - how often women are sent unsolicited...
His $/(pt/ast/reb) is very low, but his other measures are astronomically bad. Even worse than his buddy Nick Young.
Added in some max players: DeRozan (who looks good), Conley (who mostly doesn't), and Horford (who's mostly in-between).
This is sort of the point. Someone posted some complex data that allegedly showed that JC's contract was the worst among players making $10m+. I...
I'm out to dinner. I'll write up something tomorrow to explain my view. :)
I included a brief and, I thought, clear description! :)
Will in a few.
Or maybe that's what makes being a fan fun for us. Don't live in LA. Don't Grateful Dead and follow Lakers around in a bus. Just curious what...
Part of the difficulty here is that players are signed to do different things. Some are much more easily quantified than others.
Tarik's numbers are fascinating. If you use last year, he's: $20.92 Gross Value -0.031 V Value -6.6 PER Value If you use his rookie numbers,...
Tossing in some defensive-minded players: Whiteside, Mahinmi, Biyombo, and Noah. GROSS VALUE (How much do you pay per pt/ast/reb?) Gasol you pay...
I think this is clearly an impact on a player like JR Smith vs. Clarkson.
Added in Gasol, Marvin Williams, Deng, and Austin Rivers. GROSS VALUE (How much do you pay per pt/ast/reb?) Gasol you pay $6.18 Clarkson you pay...
BTW, a virtue of the PER approach is that you capture the player in the role they're going to be playing going forward. So JC's stats at PG are...
khmpr posted a thought-provoking list of player contract value. It showed JC had the worst valued contract of anyone making 10m+. That seems wrong...
