🧵Over the last few days I’ve been building out a scoring model using 654 qualifying player-seasons from 2014–2026. Qualifications: 20+ PTS/75 25+ MPG 50+ games played The goal was to measure more than just who scored the most or who was the most efficient. I wanted something that captured how much you scored, how efficiently you did it relative to your environment, how much actual scoring value you created, the pressure you put on defenses, how well you preserved possessions, and how that scoring translated to team offense. I’m going to start releasing the full rankings in groups of 50, along with breakdowns of some of the most interesting placements. 654 player-seasons. One scoring model. Rankings coming soon.

Nets are a good-bad team.

Tatum up to .42 ftr after that one.

Scal just fried #7

MPJ off-ball gravity something else

I’ve always valued offensive rebounding, but I think the indirect value gets overlooked. The threat of an elite offensive rebounding team can compromise an opponent’s transition offense by default, forcing more bodies to stay back and tend to the glass. Boston is top 5 in fewest fast-break points allowed despite losing the oREB battle in 2 of 3 games and being subpar at protecting the ball. Obviously they’re naturally a good transition defense, but it has me thinking about how much of that value comes from the rebounding threat alone.

Amazing read, fully agree that on-ball defense is often overvalued. Think we tend to put way too much stock into individual containment when evaluating overall defensive impact. Fully recommend checking this out.👇

No more excuses DP, I need a plethora of 3pa’s out of you.

Coop with a .43 FTR, .30 3PR, 7.8 stop% and 73.7% from SMR, brother if he keeps this up.. Obviously the SMR and stop% are due for regression but yk what I mean. Risacher is also unironically doing wonders alongside Coop defensively, their skill sets complement each other to an absurd degree.

Celtics night-to-night PITP battle is just going to be “if we can’t score there, no one can”

Are we going Booz or Yax ROS?

For the “Yax doesn’t have a high ceiling” crowd.

Hugo 1.00 ftr and .50 3pr

The Warden.
