are you serious?
Yeah, I'm looking at the advanced metrics. People seriously overrate how much any one player contributes. It's only guys like Lebron who add double digit wins. Very good but not outstanding 2 way players might add higher single digits. It could be 4 though for Calderon. I went back and forth between 3 and 4 but typed 3.
I don't think people should put so much weight on stats like this. IMO it's more about the cumulative effect players as a group have on each other. Just like the inverse effect that a player like Felton had on the team. The PG like a QB can have a greater impact on the way the entire team performs if he is the one who starts plays, gets everyone in their spots and delivers the ball. If he's not that great at feeding the post or finding players all over the court because of poor court vision, that is something which effects the total overall effectiveness of the team. IMO Felton was so bad in these areas in addition to his own offensive production that it greatly effected the team in a negative way.
I think the presence of Jose will have a greater impact overall than the stats like Win Share will be able to calculate. The ball will get up the court quicker and more often in the right spot. There will be more Hockey Assists and the timing of plays will be better leading to guys taking shots in rhythm. It's the little things like this that make a huge difference but aren't calculated.
We'll have to see. There will be plenty of games where we win by a one more or a few more points or lose by one or a few less, but I think you're overestimating how many times any one player changes the W/L record.
I think Nix biggest problem as a poster
He doesn't give enough analysis towards other teams
Does any other team have + win players on them
Did other teams upgrade positions they were the weakest at
Did other teams make upgrades with coaching staff
Did other teams give their front office a face lift
Did other teams do well in free agency and-or trades
Did other teams draft well
Do other teams have more star type talent, upside players on their roster
Yeah that's what's wrong with my posts. I don't focus on what other teams have done, which has nothing to do with this team.
I'll tell you what... This team has more talent than you clearly believe it does. I'm posting threads like this to make a case about this team's talent which I think many in the media and some fans like yourself don't recognize.
This isn't a team that is bereft of talent. They had a horrible season last year where a lot didn't go right, but Phil has a done a decent job of bringing balance to the roster and with the new system and coaching staff, which is superior to what we had, this team should be much better.
You don't give any credit to these points and instead keep bringing up these vague points about other teams having talent, new coaches, etc. One thing has nothing to do with the other. You like another team better than the Knicks that's fine, but i'm making a case formy favorite team and what I realistically see as positive aspects this year.
Jose is a major improvement for this team over what we had last year and he fits better for the system we will run this year, since he is a much better shooter and passer. When he does have the ball he will make better decisions and passes with the ball and he's a constant threat to shoot the ball and make it. This should help all of our players. This is why I posted the videos to make it clear just how good Jose's court vision and passing accuracy is relative to what we had last year, it's a vast improvement.
