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

I realize this is all arbitrary, but I would suggest reasonable criteria for a Bullock upgrade would be 70 percentile in O-EPM, D-EPM and 3 point shooting (Bullock is 50-60 in all three categories).  My guess is that would open up a bigger list.

I'm curious how you did that search?  Don't see a simple way to do that.

They have a nice distribution table. It's not super reliable but a rough and dirty way to get our list would be if we take 0.0 to be the 50th percentile, then +4.0 EPM would be our standard for 100%, and we essentially are looking for guys around +1.0 to +2.0 in O-EPM, and +1.0 to +1.5 in D-EPM. We can then add cutoffs for what we want in terms of efficiency and volume for shooting (league average this year 35.8%).  

I'm going to use error bars of 0.25+/- just because of variance and how rough this method is. 

Using this method some guys stand out:
Jaylen Brown
Mike Conley
Jrue Holiday
Patrick Beverley
Isaiah Hartenstein (but low volume threes)
DFS 
Immanuel Quickley
FVV
Klay Thompson
Desmond Bane
Deandre Ayton (though the 3pt volume isn't there)
Kyle Lowry
Paul George

Some guys that just barely miss the cut off 
WCJr (33% 3pt shooting, would qualify otherwise)
Nic Batum (poor O-EPM numbers)
Caleb Martin (poor O-EPM numbers)
Myles Turner (33% 3pt shooting, would qualify otherwise)
Dillon Brooks (poor 3pt shooting)
Brunson (poor D-EPM numbers)
Jerami Grant (poor O-EPM numbers).
Dejounte Murray (33% 3pt shooting)
John Collins (just barely misses the D-EPM cutoff)
Gary Trent Jr (just barely misses the D-EPM cutoff)
Christian Wood (D-EPM lets him down)

I tried to forego the mega superstars (+3.5 O-EPM). There are probably more guys but this is a good start.


EDIT: It seems like yall work way faster than me and already got the list lol.
