No analytics expert would make any sort of conclusions at all based on a 7-game sample size and one statistic -- on-off +/-, which is well known to be one of the sport's noisiest stats.
Much less sweeping, counterintuitive assessments that are hysterical on their face.
Mavs most alarming problems:
Luka sucks.
Luka is lazy.
Luka is a terrible shooter.
Luka is killing the team.
Luka's body is bottom-10 in the league.
Luka is nothing special after all. Just a disappointing flash-in-the-pan who brings his teams down.
A professional statistician submitting this data to support these conclusions would be laughed out of the room.
Send Luka's fat ass back to Slovenia! Put the guys who normally play with him on the pine! Put the guys who have been playing when Luka sits out there for 48 minutes! Mavs problems solved! Seven-game on-off +/- proves it!
Get a grip.
