They gotta be using the advanced stats for each player on the team to come up with these projections.

Yup

The basis of the projections is a blend of my own player rating called Player Tracking Plus Minus (PT-PM), a combo of box score stats and SportVU, and Regularized Adjusted Plus Minus (RAPM). Last year was both an up year and a down year for the Highly Plausible Win Projections. After finishing at the top of the APBR projection board for two years, my projections finished in the middle of the pack last year despite having a lower average error rate than the prior years and beating both Vegas and 538’s CARMELO for the third year in a row.

IT was so great last year man.

CJ McCollum scores from everywhere. 3 level scorer. Damn near 50/40/90 last year. If he ever figures out how to get to the line consistently look out.
 

The gymnastics to get those numbers

Don’t even want to know how Kansas state of all places got a 5 star recruit in Beasley that year. Had dude out there playing with scrubs like Ben Simmons.

Beas had one of the greatest college seasons ever at K State
 
Kawhi and Rudy Gay will make the playoffs with 55 wins, but they will be out in the conference semifinals
