17-37 from three. 46% on 3.7 attempts per game. In just 11 games, he's already taken 41% of last year's TOTAL 3PA. 46% won't hold, but it's not a fluke.
Well, the thing is, the closer you get to the top of the player rankings the harder it gets to make the next big improvement. I never want to bet on one player matching another's trajectory just because that other player managed it. It's hard to level up against NBA competition, and when you point at a different guy and say "see, he did it!" that's kind of just survivorship bias. That said, the level he's playing at so far this season is already All-NBA caliber, and I won't rule anything out. I'd love it if he came close to being as good as Joker, I'm just not thinking the odds are super high. If he becomes, say, a perennial top 10 guy, that's already really, really good for the franchise considering Amen may also reach that level (or at least come very close).
That is badass, dude. Crazy this homie is playing like an All-NBA star at 23 and he’s been a Rocket for four years now
He posted an image of Turkish desserts on social media and Tiago quickly fat shamed. "You can't eat all of those."
It’s taking your average ranking in the 6 all in one numbers they use. Idk which 6 they use, i assume stuff like BPM. Jokic is 1st in 5/6 and 2nd in the other so his average is 1.2. (1+1+1+1+1+2)/6. It’s super early, so grayson allen is ahead of durant at the moment.
It stands for "Huge Nerd Index", this guy (author of the tweet) finds all the fancy analytics that use algorithms and statistics to measure players, and boil it all down to one singular number. All these stats use different algorithms and weigh everything differently, so the idea here is that he can look at all of them and average them out to try to get a consensus. One of these stats may have Sengun as the 7th best player, one at 9th, one at 14th, one at 12th, etc etc. The idea is you'll get a better idea of player rankings if you average it out, since most of these stats have a few weird results or outliers.

Some plus/minus news that you couldn't find on Clutchfans - the world's leading plus/minus reporting organization.
Jabari is playing all right so far. Best scoring efficiency of his career (narrowly) on higher shot volume, assists are up, turnovers are down. In a couple of years his contract is going to be seen as 4th starter money. Gotta love what Reed is doing so far though. It's more that he's exceeding expectations I guess
It's exactly the same as all the other "catch all metrics." It's a made up number created by the pundit using an algorithm to push the parts of the game they consider most important. None of them are any kind of statistic or real number, they're all weighted by the bias of the person who created them in order for it to prove their point. Actually look at some of the calculations and how they're put together and everything has seemingly arbitrary (unless designed that way of course) modifiers that make a particular element or facet of the game have more of an effect on the results. They're just there for math nerds who could never actually throw or catch a ball to enjoy sports.
