Certainly possible. Innovation would have taken a lot longer to proliferate through the league back then, with no resources to scout what other...
I'd put out the theory that the jump shot became significantly more prevalent in the late 50s over the set shot, which led to a general increase...
Cousy's career league adjusted FG% (basically 100 is exactly average), is 96, and his league adjusted TS% is 98. So he was slightly below average...
I don't love KPJ's game, especially at PG next to Jalen, but if you are able to sign him to an extension around the non-taxpayer MLE (projected to...
The seminal article about Morey's approach to drafting is Basketball's Nerd King, reprinted from the Undoing Project by Michael Lewis. It's...
I think this is unfair to the Rockets, considering that Nick Nurse was an assistant coach for five years under Dwayne Casey before getting the...
To be perfectly fair, the average coaching tenure across the entire NBA has been somewhere between 3-4 seasons. Older analysis here (2016), but...

Looking at the asset list above, even if you dumped Wood, Gordon, Tate and KPJ, you'd have 10! players still on rookie deals ahead of Garuba in...
On the other hand, a slighter frame and carrying less weight through his career has helped KD make incredible recoveries from both Achilles...
The more I think about this, the more I'm actually getting convinced that Garuba may have his 3rd year rookie option declined by the Rockets this...
Chad Ford didn't do it, it was some random other person who was never found at ESPN. I know because ESPN said so, and Chad Ford denied it. Also,...
Amazing, Berry Tramel has now completed the three-peat of making enemies of the entire OKC Thunder Big 3. He was the guy who coined Kevin Durant...
