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

Clutch time shooting for every star player last season (Last minute of 4th quarter/OT when the score margin is no greater than 5 points)


DeAndre Jordan: 7/7

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.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Yup

The gymnastics to get those numbers

 

[shotsrangout]

San Antonio will be lucky to win 45 games this year. Quote me on that.

Beas had one of the greatest college seasons ever at K State

He didn't slander Ben Simmons though

He said Ben played with scrubs, not Ben is a scrub lol

“We can beat Kansas in Manhattan, Lawrence and in Africa”

Taking my rep back

Also, Beas had Bill Walker, who was COLD in college

 

[shotsrangout]

IT was mr 4th quarter last year

Not really. CJ Mcollum is what stats say.
Took less shots, made more, wit higher %

 

[EddieDoyers]

Kawhi and Rudy Gay will make the playoffs with 55 wins, but they will be out in the conference semifinals

 

[rolaholic]

Lamarcus aldridge, cowhide Leonard and scrubs is not a 50 win team anymore.

[shotsrangout]

Rudy Gay being good in 2017. Stop please.

C.J. had th luxury of playing alongside another great guard, IT didn’t. I expect his efficiency to be lower.

Still the Kang
