MIAMI”S CLUTCH HERRO!

In preparation for game 5 and after his stellar performance down the stretch, we have had a look at Herro’s numbers in clutch moments.

These numbers are based on games that were within 5 points.
The sample size for these numbers (20 games, 66 minutes) is not big enough to make a conclusion but are very interesting considering what we have seen this season.

WHAT DO THE NUMBERS SHOW:

The two three’s at the end of regulation in game four was not the first time Herro has shown up at the end of games.

Herro scores .41 points per possession more in the clutch than he does in regulation. Pair that with an 11% increase in True Shooting and you can really understand how special he has been in the big moments this season.

Can Herro and the Heat finish the Bucks?

COULD STEVENS UNLEASH WILLIAMS?

Despite playing few minutes, Williams has given the Celtics plenty of energy off the bench. His impact at both the defensive and offensive end is notable with his efficiency key to his early series success.

NOTABLE STATS:

Minutes per game: 17

Points per Possession: 1.89

TS: 78.8%

11/12 from the field

ASS: 1.6

BLK: 1.6

Would a bump in Williams minutes give the Celtics an added edge to close the series?

DEEP DIVE INTO VICTOR OLADIPO’S RETURN

Since returning to the court we have noticed two key things about Victor Oladipo. Both his quick first step which made him such a weapon in PnR and his elite explosiveness at the rim have not been the same.

We decided to have a look at what the stats show us.

We used:
His first two seasons (2017-19, 111 games) as a Pacer.
Since his return (13 games)

DISCLAIMER: we understand that the sample size is not big but we believe the numbers speak for themselves.
(TABLE IN PICTURE)

WHAT WE FOUND:

This shows an overall drop in efficiency since coming back which is understandable considering the length and severity of the injury.

What I found most interesting is:

He has continued to get to the rim at the same rate (25%, 26%) but there has been a 20% drop in efficiency. This highlights his loss of explosiveness at the rim. He is also attempting 1.25 less free throws per game.
Not being able to explode over screens has reduced his amount of shots in the mid range (-8% since the return). This decrease has seen an increase in 3P attempts. He has increased his 3PA by 9% but has decreased his 3P% from 36% to 30%. This could probably explain his decrease in PPP, which has decreased by .12.

Do you think this is just him recovering from injury or is this the new norm for the former all-star?

AN OFFENSIVE LOOK AT THE HEAT VS KINGS

Nice that we can talk about some actual basketball!

While watching the Heat vs Kings game this morning (UK time) it struck me as a game of two, the starters and the back ups. We decided to break down the offense to explain.

MIAMI:

STARTERS:

1.10 Points per Possession (PPP)
84% True Shooting (TS)

BACK UPS

0.91 PPP
55.19 TS

KINGS:

STARTERS:

0.91 PPP
61% TS

BACK UPS

1.19 PPP
68% TS

WHAT WE SAW:

We have been using these PPP and TS a lot to show efficiency offensively but it really highlighted a few things today.

Miami started off hot with their first 21 points coming off threes and Robinson hitting 4 in the first quarter. The Kings defence could not stop the flow and seemed to always be chasing the ball. Miami kept the ball moving and were finding the open man at ease which led to the 84% true shooting from the starters.

When Dragic left the court all of Miami’s offensive momentum seemed to leave with him. Hero took the ball handling duties and the creation of movement completely left. Both teams went to zone defence which allowed the Kings to adapt better.

The King's bench with Ferrell leading seemed more comfortable playing together. They moved the ball and got out in transition which helped them easily out score the Heat bench.

76ers TEAM STATS:

PPP: 0.86 (23rd)
TS: 56.2% (19th)

WHAT HAVE WE FOUND INTERESTING?

Overall a low efficiency offence, the 76ers only have 4 players (Harris, Simmons, Embiid, Korkmaz) who shot above the league average in True Shooting.
Horford (0.62, PPP), Thybulle (0.89, PPP) and Harris (0.85, PPP) are well below league average in Points per Possession. This speaks to the problems that Brown has had trying to find the right offensive combinations to compliment Embiid and Simmons.

WHAT HAVE WE FOUND INTERESTING?

No surprise that we find play finishers (Shamet, Harrell) at the top. The efficiency of George and Kawhi highlight how productive both of these players are at the offensive end.
Beverley (0.70, PPP) and McGurder (47% TS, 0.83, PPP) are the only Clippers players who are not scoring efficiently this season.

WHAT HAVE WE FOUND INTERESTING?

There is no surprise that a Morey, Di’Antino and Harden lead offence would find itself in the top 5 for two offensive efficiency metrics. Gordon (51%), Rivers (53%) and Westbrook (53%) find themselves below the league average in True Shooting (league average, 54%).
What is more interesting is that Westbrook (0.87) is the only Rockets player who has a Points per Possession number lower than 0.99.

RULES:
Draft 15 players
Roster can not exceed $101 million
Only able to draft 5 players on their first contracts

All players are healthy at the beginning of the season

SUMMARY:
Now that all the teams have been released, it's time to look at how each team would stack up against the rest of the teams in the NBA.

We used statistics that would highlight the teams offensive production and efficiency (Points per Possession, True shooting & Offensive rating) and defensive efficiency (defensive rating & RAPTOR). RAPTOR is a new statistical measurement from which is similar to Box Plus/Minus. It measures the number of points a player contributes to a team's offense and defense per 100 possessions. RAPTOR combines publicly available data together with play by play and player tracking data. It highly values floor spacing, defence and shot creation, which aligns with the NBA teams’ values.

AIM: Draft a $100m team to win the NBA 20/21 title RULES: Draft 15 players Roster can not exceed $101m Only able to draft 5 players on their first contracts Snake draft All players are healthy I had the first pick, for me this made Giannis a no brainer. With my next selection I picked Trae Young, again seems logical to surround Giannis with shooters. The bonus is he is on his first contract making him dirt cheap. From there my philosophy revolved around drafting 3 & D wings and value contracts. Another steal was netting John Collins in the 13th round. He could start at the 5 in my team depending on matchups and we’ve all seen him go to work with Young. I believe my squad is versatile and there are many combinations that could be utilised. Starters: PG: Trae Young- Offers shooting and undeniable pick and roll offense with Giannis, good luck defending that pairing! SG: Ben Simmons- While his shooting woes are well documented, he makes up for this with his passing and length on defence. Some might question the fit next to Giannis but that is why I have stacked the rest of my squad with shooters around them. SF: OG Anunoby- All I will instruct him to do is sit in the corner to stretch the floor, we know that he’s an above average defender. PF: Giannis Antetokoumpo- no justification required with this selection. C: John Collins- John actually shoots the three ball at a higher clip than you would expect. This season he has shot at 40,1% percent which is well above the league average. This gives him the edge over my other options. Bench: 6th Man: Lou Williams- Instant offense and a proven track record in this role. The rest of my bench is filled with versatile shooting wings who can defend, this includes Robert Covington, Jae Crowder and Marcus Smart. My other rotational piece is Sabonis who was a no brainer on talent alone. Who wouldn’t want an All-Star calibre big coming off their bench? For depth at centre I have Nerlens Noel who provides rim protection and Christian Wood who is another talented and developing young big. The rest of my squad are very unlikely to see any court time, and hence I went for locker room experience with Vince Carter and TJ McConnell

$100 MILLION DRAFT - TEAM 3: AIM: Draft a $100m team to win the NBA title in 2020-21 RULES: Draft 15 players Roster can not exceed $101 million Only able to draft 5 players on their first contracts Snake draft All players are healthy at the beginning of the season Summary: "With my first two picks I selected Kawhi and Siakim. Last season they showed they could play together, both play good defence and are interchangeable at the 3 & 4. Next, I selected Jaylen Brown to play SG. I love his defence and how this season his offence has taken another step. With my fourth pick I selected Nikola Jokic to add some play making and while he is not known for his ability to protect the rim my hope is the my first three selections help stop the ball from even making it to the rim. My last spot in my starting five I selected Donovan Mitchell. While he is playing out of position, I like him as a pick and roll scorer and I believe I have enough play making from Jokic. I also based this pick on how Murray currently plays with Jokic on the Denver Nuggets and I believe Mitchell is a much better player. My sixth man is Jonathan Isaac. Before his injury I believe he was a DPOY contender. He will back up at 3 & 4 and at certain times he will play the 5 in my small ball line-up. Devonte' Graham is my backup PG and I like his play making for my second unit. Aron Baynes is my back up C and will be my rim protector when Jokic is on the bench. My last rotation player is Dorian Finney-Smith. He can play and defend the 2, 3 & 4. This season his 3 point shot has gone to another level and teams now have to guard him out to the 3 point line. Dwight Howard, Alec Burks, JJ Barea and Furkan Korkmaz have been selected as depth players and injury protection. My last two players on the roster are Gary Payton II and Shaquille Harrison. Both players aren’t expected to feature much unless injuries hit my team hard."

"With pick two, I selected Doncic. He is an all star and MVP candidate on his rookie contract. There are questions about Doncic's defence and whether he can perform in the playoffs. He has played professionally for many years prior to the NBA winning a Euroleague title and Final four MVP at 17, which is equivalent to the NBA’s finals MVP. With this skill set and basketball IQ, it's my belief that he will excel in the playoffs. His flaws can be covered with the right selections. Supporting Doncic, I selected Gilgeous-Alexander, Tucker, Davis and McGee. The choice to pair Doncic and Davis was an easy one as Davis has excelled playing next to Lebron. With Doncic sharing some similar attributes as Lebron, I believe Davis will continue to get similar looks that he is currently getting. Davis’ post game has developed and can be used to compliment the offence. Davis is one of the top candidates for defensive player of the year and pairing him with McGee makes the paint a tough place for drivers. Shai offers a secondary playmaker, who has developed a healthy midrange game. Tucker will be the corner specialist while also being our lockdown defender. I expect that PJ will play limited minutes. Off the bench is Dinwiddie and Iguodala. Dinwiddie is one of the best 6th man. He is able to generate offence, score in bunches and make the right choice when running the point. He is also a very effective closer. I believe this adds another offensive option late down the stretch, who can cause headaches for the opposition. With Igoudala, while his offensive production isn't as high as previous season, I believe that we lack a player who could defend wings like Kawhi, Durant and Lebron. Igoudala still holds the tools to minimise the stars while still being a respectable shooter. With Tucker and Igoudala both able to play PF, it opens up the opportunity for Davis to move to centre and give us a potent small ball line up. The rest of the rotations are Hield, Lavert and Allen. Hield could be a starter with his ability to score, the team needed more outside shooting. Caris Levert offers positional versatility and an ability to score in bunches with the second unit." 2020-21 Champions?

$100 MILLION DRAFT: TEAM 1: AIM: Draft a $100m team to win the NBA title in 2020-21 RULES: Draft 15 players Roster can not exceed $101 million Only able to draft 5 players on their first contracts Snake draft All players are healthy at the beginning of the season Summary: With my first picks (4,5) I drafted Adebayo and Tatum. They were the best two rookies that were left (Doncic picked at 2) and I believe their skill sets compliment each other. With my next pick, I decided to pair Adebayo with Karl-Anthony Towns. Our team's offence will center around KAT. Having play marking at the 1-4 will help to unlock his offensive potential by using pick and pops, his post game and taking advantage of switches. Towns offensive arsenal will be most useful helping to unlock the offensive potential of Tatum, George and Murray. His efficiency scoring in the two man game with them will help to unlock our team’s offence. Playing with Adebayo will allow him to play defender the weaker big on the floor and use his lateral quickness in help defence. He has also shown an ability to get out on the floor and defend so we could switch. The next pick was Paul George. He fits well with the remainder of the starting five with his ball handling, shooting and isolation scoring. His defence should help to ignite our transition game. With Tatum and Adebayo, they will be able to force turnovers and get our team out on the break. I rounded out my starting five with Jamal Murray. Another player who has some ability to score in isolation and pick and roll. Murray provides the starting lineup with another good shooter. He won't be asked to shoulder much of a burden defensively. Bench: De’Aaron Fox gives us a player who can change the pace of the game and start games. Mitch Robinson gives my team a different look at the 5, a rim runner and shot blocker. Wes Matthews and Glenn Robinson are reliable defenders who can shoot. Best players on the minimum at the 3. Austin Rivers and David Nwaba give us reliable back up wings Morris, Patterson, Connaughton and McLemore will only be needed if the team has injuries but give good depth Could this team win the 2020-21 title?
