2021-2022 MAVS NEWS: 4th in West | WCF loss [ARCHIVED]

[DanSchwartzgan]

@"DanSchwartzgan" talk to me about these numbers. The PNR ones in particular. Like @"dirkfansince1998" I have seen LM's PNR numbers be below average. Where did you find these exactly?

BBall Index.  You have to be careful of the exact data you are looking at.  His total “Roll Man Impact” is a pedestrian 48th percentile.  But, that includes rolling, popping and slipping.  As I said, he’s 88th percentile in terms of his impact rolling to the basket and 13th and 12th percentile in “rolling” into a Pick and Pop or “rolling” into a screen Slip.  His Roll/Pop/Slip splits are 43%, 39% and 7%.  So he’s doing too much of the things he’s not good at and not enough of the things he is good at in the PNR in terms of his overall impact (yet he’s still in the 88th percentile).  

By contrast, Maxi is in the 93rd percentile in total “Roll Man Impact”.  He’s terrible at rolling to the basket…25th percentile (but he only does that 13% of the time he’s in the PNR).  He pick and pops 60% of the time and is in the 97th percentile on those (so he does more of what he’s good at and less of what he’s not).  

IF you look at them on the various compilation metrics, Maxi and LM are two sides of a coin.  LM is much better offensively…much.  Maxi is much better defensively…much.
