They seem to update their site only once a month now. Melo, KP, and Rose look pretty good. Kuz looks all right. Everyone else has disappointing #s. KOQ's own numbers are outstanding but his opponents are even better.
http://www.82games.com/1617/1617NYK.HTMIf you click on each player, you can get more info - KP has much better #s as a PF than a C but Melo has much better #s as a PF than SF. So our two best players should both be playing the same position.
Bonn... why do you think KOQ's opponents have better #s? I think thats the strength of his #s actually. He's got more assists, blocks and boards per/48 than his opponents. Although he's being outscored I dont see this as an issue as his EFG% is .584 vs .468 which is fantastic.
KP's opposing EFG% is dreadful. Its funny, so many cry about Melo's lack of defense but his opponent FG% is much better than KP's.
We are no better defensively with KP on the floor vs. without, but we are much better on offense with him than without.
Mostly it what I expected... we are pretty even. We have a good record because we win the close games and we have some massive blowout losses that keep the numbers closer as well. Will be interesting to see after 50 games, etc... what trends prevail.
If you look at the team stats opposing SGs and PFs are hurting us the most

But on the flip side our matchups at PG/C are push, SG/SF hurt us and we win big (production/PER) at the PF.
