09/10 Season Stats Thread...

[DaRealHibachi]

I thought it would be a good idea to keep track of our stats this year... I know it's only 3 games in, but we're soooo much better than the last couple years...

http://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/WAS/2010.html

Some interesting stats after 3 games;

Gil is avg 28ppg on 50% shooting, from both inside (28/56) and out(7/14), 84% from the line... 6,7ast... ORTG: 115
7 Day Dray is by far our second best player, avg 21ppg and 6,3rpg while shootin 71%... OTRG: 140
Wood is almost averaging a DD with 12 & 8,7... But he's shooting an awful 44%...

We're shooting a lil over 50% and 45% from downtown as a team and keeping opponents to 42% and 30% from outside...

Points Per Game: 104.7 (9th of 30) ▪ Opponent Points Per Game: 98.3 (12th of 30)
Offensive Rating: 114.0 (5th of 30) ▪ Defensive Rating: 107.1 (15th of 30)

Again, I know it's just 3 games in, but we finally look like a legit NBA team who can score pretty efficiently and play some average D... Hope we can keep this up....

Thoughts...???

nick young sporting a negative PER and WS.

[TheKingOfVa360]

Nick Young looks like a fish out of water on this team. According to per Blatche is the best player on the team.

[Chocolate City Jordanaire]

Andray has been the team's best player. Blatche has a PER of 30.3 to Gil's 27.8.

Pythagorean wins has the Wizards 8th out of 30 teams. Roughly a 4 seed, if the East and West are balanced (actually 5th behind Boston, Orlando, Atlanta, and Miami--right now Miami is 2nd overall).

Very early, but thanks DaRealHibachi for pointing out that basketball-reference updates daily now. Used to have to wait to the end of the season for yearly stats IIRC.

[Chocolate City Jordanaire]

For the first two to three games league-wide, Seven Day Dray is an MVP candidate.

Andray has been the team's best player. Blatche has a PER of 30.3 to Gil's 27.8.

Well stats with this sample size are really not telling much. Its fun to look at, but not more. According to this JaVale is our 3rd best player with a PER of 22,5

The one thing that's sort of troubling is the free throw shooting disparity. But I guess that's to be expected with a team primarily built on jump shooting.

By the way, in terms of eFG% we are shooting the 6th best in the league with 54.4% and the defense has been the 6th best as we are only allowing 45.3%.

Hollinger's four factors are: eFG%, DRB%, TOV% and FT/FGA. You outplay your team in these categories and you tend to win more games. I listed them in the order of importance. That is, the most important thing to do is to shoot with efficiency and to prevent other teams from doing so.

Through 4 games, the Wizards rank 21st on defense (going by points allowed per 100 possessions). That's not bad given our strength of schedule and the preponderance of road games, but it's not great either. What I found interesting was the way we got here.

Two years ago, we ranked 24th in defense, but we were 26th in eFG% allowed and 10th in turnovers forced. We gambled for steals but were burned an awful lot. We were also dead last in 3-pointers yielded and tied for last in 3P% yielded. Protect the paint, baby!

So far this year, we rank 21st on defense. However, we rank 5th in eFG% allowed and dead last in turnovers generated. We have completely changed our philosophy. We don't gamble at all but at least we're getting a hand in the face. We rank 18th in 3-pointers yielded and 15th in 3P% yielded but we were probably top 5 in both categories prior to the Cleveland game.

I think that Flip's system is more sensible since it focuses on the most important aspect of basketball: shooting efficiency. However, I'm a little concerned with the lack of turnovers forced. It's one thing to rank relatively low in that category, but to be dead last implies that we're never putting pressure on the ball.

Another oddity: The 2007/08 team didn't foul much. We ranked 13th in FT's yielded per FGA. This year, we are hacking away. We rank 27th in FT's yielded per FGA. The good news is that eFG% defense is much more important that minimizing fouls. Indeed, some of the better defensive teams in the league fouled a lot.

FWIW, this team and the 2007/08 team are pretty similar on the glass. The current team ranks 16th in DRB%. The 07/08 team ranked 20th.

The stat that jumps out at me: The Wizards are undefeated in games in which Paul Davis has played this season.

Also undefeated in games in which they have outscored their opponents. It's my tried and true strategy; I have no idea why they don't follow it!
