Chapter 510: The Difference Between Data Brush and Real Star

The reason why the NBA has been very popular in its 7-year history is because there will be no shortage of people here. When a great superstar retires, there will be a new force that will be even better. Wade is 6 years old, and he is no longer the active first quarterback, but it doesn't matter, someone has taken over the torch of his first quarterback, and he is James. Harden. Harden can go from the bench to MVP, which is simply not possible without absolute individual strength. 1-time MVP, 1-time scoring champion, 1-time assist champion, 4-time season 1 team. Harden's accomplishments are capable of beating other quarterbacks on the roster in seconds. Harden has just turned 9 years old, and his future is bright, and he is also a strong contender for the first place in the future league. However, if Harden is not the champion, he is the first pick in the first round in 009, so who is the star before him, and is their current strength surpassing Harden, we have the answer today.

Eyeball: In 009, Tabit, who was a .1 on the list, had hoped to become an inside monster, but his first season was a big disappointment. In his first season, Thabit played in 68 games, averaging only .1 points, 6 rebounds and 1 block per game, and his offensive and defensive defense was average, and he did not play to his height advantage. I thought that Tabit would bounce back in his second season, but who would have thought that his rookie season would be his peak. The following season, Tabit scored and rebounded in single digits, was a core water cooler player on the team, wielded the most powerful towel, and his value contribution to the team was zero. Tabit left the NBA after the 014 season and now plays in the Japanese league.

Champion: The champion in 009 is Griffin, he really amazed many fans when he debuted, with an average of 0+10 per game is his standard data, and every dunk can also make fans enthusiastic. However, after Griffin's injury, he went straight from flying to flooring, and now he basically relies on mid-range shots, and he scores less and less under the basket. Although his data has always been around 0+10, the team's record has not been good. A star who only cares about beautiful personal data, but can't lead the team to win, he is a data brush. Griffin has been traded to the Pistons by the Clippers, and at the age of 0, he has reached the ceiling.

As the best basketball league on the planet, the NBA has no shortage of scoring masters. However, not every player who averages or outputs a high output per minute can get a corresponding good evaluation, and "data brush", "offensive cancer" and so on are the most common negative reviews.

When discussing this topic, we tend to get caught up in some kind of sophistry. For example, both A and B can average 5 points per game, A's teammates are great, and B is the opposite. At this moment, the more typical "black" method is: A benefits from a very relaxed game environment, and it is normal for others to contain high scores; B is benefiting from the abundance of fire, and it is normal to have so many shots and high scores. As for whether A's shots are also enough, and whether B's offensive space is also loose enough, it is a secondary matter.

In order to distinguish whether a player is "brushing data", it is necessary for the industry to introduce advanced statistics. To put it simply, the average data per game can be brushed, but the advanced data cannot. Usually each player has their own balance between the "quality" and "quantity" of scoring, and if a player goes from a strong team to a weak team, there are two kinds of changes at the moment: an increase in the number of shots due to a gap in ability, and a decline in shooting percentage due to increased defensive pressure. This delicate balance also holds true in reverse, typically, Zhan Weibo has not had as many shots as he did in his prime, but his shooting percentage has set a career-high percentage.

There are 116 players in the league who have played more than 0% of their playing time, which is enough to be included in the ranks of "scoring masters" (unfortunately JR missed out with 19.6%). We exclude the 16 players who have played the least minutes per game, and the remaining 100 have played at least 0 minutes per game. Admittedly, this side-by-side comparison is still a bit unfair, with Anthony playing the longest (9.1 minutes) and Neil the least (0.min) certainly different in terms of fitness and defensive pressure (the latter is mostly on the bench), but at least the sample size of these players is not too small to prevent us from making further comparisons.

For example, there is a gap of about 10% in the round possession of Durant and Bosh. ESPN's algorithm is that for every 1% increase in round possession, the true hit percentage drops by 0.5%. Durant, for example, has a true shooting percentage of 6.9 percent and a 1.1 percent possession rate. If his turn possession is reduced to 0%, the corrected true accuracy will reach a terrifying 69.5%. This situation only exists in the imagination, and it is too difficult to have a team on the basketball court that only treats the peak KD as an average scorer or the third scorer.

It should be said that it was still very interesting after the results came out. James and Durant are in the top two of the league at 70.0% and 69.5%, respectively, and there is no small distance behind Brook Lopez (65.0%). Players ranked 4 to 10 also include: Curry (64.%), Love (6.4%), Harden (6.4%), Nowitzki (6.%), Dragic (6.9%) and Griffin (6.4%). Among them, Love, who are often hacked into "brush data", and Harden, tied for 6th place on the list, which is a highlight, while Anthony, who is known as having no score solution, is only ranked 1st with 61.0%, which is inferior to Wade (61.7%) and Bosh (61.%).

At the same time, more than 1/100 of the 100 players have a modified true shooting percentage below the league average of 5.7%. The minimum 5 people are as follows:

1, Jared Bayless, 47.0%

Bayless is functionally positioned as a scorer off the bench. But he really couldn't handle the role in the new season, so he was resold to the Celtics by the Grizzlies, who were in desperate need of outside firepower. Bayless' three-point shooting plummeted to 8.9 percent from a past 5.5 percent last season. To make matters worse, his shooting percentage (1.4 to 1.4 percent) and shooting percentage (60.9 percent to 51.0 percent) have also dropped dramatically, which is the least desirable thing in the prime of five.

, Trey Burke, 48.4%

The sophistication and maturity of the Jazz master control have been praised by the industry, and their personal ability is also better than that of their predecessors such as Tinsley and Lucas. But he's too small to fully adapt to the NBA in every area. Especially under the basket – Burke is shooting just 46 percent from the field here, and his flexible size isn't enough to improve his finishing ability. In addition, his three-point shooting percentage is below the league average of .6%, which is only slightly better than McCarvey.

, Josh Smith, 48.5%

As we've mentioned in a previous column, Smith is already the worst shooter of all time. The general reaction of netizens at the time was, "Smith is not a shooter". The problem is that at least that's how he sees it. The Pistons' summer picker has taken 189 shots from beyond the three-point line and is a measly .8 percent of the shots. He shot 70.6 percent from the field, but only 4.0 percent of his shots came from here. No other two-point area has more than 40 percent of the crosshairs. (To be continued)
