Can someone explain to me why per 36 is relevant or useful

 
Can someone explain to me why per 36 is relevant or useful

It makes it easier to compare players who have a large gap in minutes per game, and I think it has a great use in a situation like this where we're comparing a guy on a team where no one played above 30 minutes to a guy who played 36

i don't really like per 36. it can be misinterpreted really badly.

people use to say "oh well _________________ was averaging 15 points in 18 minutes, his per 36 would have him averaging 30 a game!"

when in fact, it doesn't take into account the level of competition you're playing against (most likely getting those numbers against bench players".

also don't like that it standardizes everything. just because you play 36 minutes does not mean you'll replicate the numbers you put in proportion in less minutes.

Jimmer per 36 is pretty

theres a reason why the spurs finished on that hot streak when kawhi got back from his injury

a guy like marcus thornton got 4/30M
eric gordon got 4/60M off potential and flashes when healthy

kawhi isnt gonna get that little

I think the only person who lived up to the per36 hype was andre drummond

22 year olds, we out here mayne

 

[ballinsam23]

these refs are absolutely not allowing any type of comeback

5 offensive fouls this quarter

Really?? I thought he was at least 29. 

 

[shoeking2101]

hey did i mention that kawhi leonard is only 22 years old

But seriously though, what does this mean? I always am hesitant to throw out ages, because youth does not automatically imply that one gets "supremely" better.

 

[imlive365]

why are the starters still in the gm?

Spurs wanna stat pad

i'm turning 24 this year

it doesn't guarantee he'll get better, but you're obviously much more likely to develop. he's already a good player, probably 5 years off of his prime

portland is 25-30 from the FT line.

san antonio is 14-18.

**** a comeback, this game could be a 30 piece if not for the refs

it actually does.

occasional exceptions but for the most part player improve until around 25,26,27

wut?

 

[ballinsam23]

I disagree. Blazers hit the average amount of 3s they usually hit and this game is a WHOLE DIFFERENT ballgame. They missed shots they usually can make, yet the Spurs were clicking on all cylinders.

I called that too and dudes got mad at me.

 

[do work son]

wanna know why portland are missing as many 3s as they are? it's not just because they're off.

defense.

May not get better but you have more time to work with them. Also the possible benefit of the player growing in physique. Prime ex. Kobe, lebron, Dwight howard

 

[don ramon]

get reggie miller off the air

Definitely gotta give credit to the Spurs. But they had good looks to hit more than 1, alot more than 1 actually.

Oh look at that, Excellent double team and then recovery to draw a charge. 7 million is all thats worth
