    He's a package deal with Adams though. If only. Amen could hit 3s...

    His 100+ minutes of live action with Aquaman are among the most explosive in the league. Get your CC ready because, Houston, we have lift off...

    Can Aaron keep shooting it like this, with volume? There's plenty of space.
    He better, because he's 4 inches shorter than Jrue, and his D leaves a lot to be desired.
    Always been a fringy player...undersized combo guard.

    His on/off for us this year is +7.9, I think he dialed in when FVV went down. He thinks he should be starting, which is a good headspace... for a career bench warmer (not you melo!)

    He’s a light out shooter, which basically opens up everybody else’s game, especially with non-shooting bigs.

    All shooters are shooting great percentages on our team this year because they probably have a lot of space to work with

    A lot of this minutes are playing with Reed, who tends to get a lot of people looks. In the mionutes holiday plays by himself he looks like quite bad

    Sort the list by minutes played and he goes away. Let’s start Unc because the evidence says he’s anchoring most of the defensive ratings. Sample size (minutes played) is important. What’s surprising is Reed is in a fair amount of the “balanced” off/def net rating sets.

    He was the same player as FVV last year. Some like FVVs defense better but the offense is similar.

    Then we'd need Capela for the ORBs. Capela-Adams-Amen-Durant-Sengun line up, do it Ime

    Not even a close comparison. Unc isn't a rotation player.

    Holiday's top 4 in minutes played are the also the Rockets top 4 in NetRtg and he's on the floor for 35% of the game.

    Even if Unc's top 4 in minutes played were the rockets top 4 in NetRtg, it would be something

    I was being sarcastic about Unc, but the Holiday lineups are statistical noise.

    The fact that he's playing well this season surely has nothing to do with it
