How does that work? Suppose in game one KP scores 30, and then in game two just two minutes in he twists his ankle after scoring two points, out for rest of game. Now does his PPG average drop to 16? Kind of unfair if it does. Does this Miami early dismissal savagely tear apart Porzimgis's PPG average?
Yes it will drop him to 26 ppg. In a full season it wont matter though. He probably settles into 25 ppg over the full season, which is still incredible and he's way ahead of schedule to be producing this way.
Yes, it's another reason to look at advanced stats rather than per game volume stats.
Ah, thanks.
That Play Efficiency Rating stat is very interesting. Thanks for the link. I'm not really a stat guy. Just use your eyes to tell you who is better than who (Derek Jeter and Eli Manning don't have the greatest stats...but I'll take them over anybody (even over Geno Smith!). One's eyes are the best way to judge an athlete. However, that PER stat does seem to provide a far more accurate assessment of a player than PPG. Never saw it before.

Did your eye test tell you Kanter is playing better than KP?

My eye test tells me both the Lizard and Kan'tPlay are injury prone string beans who will miss at least one quarter of the season. That's 20 games for you non-math majors. Our two best players will be sitting in street clothes on the bench for a big part of the season. That's what my eye test tells me.

Great info, now can you answer the question? And for you all non-English majors, he clearly avoided answering me!

Kanter is in his 7th year. He has never missed that many games. He's averaged 74.2 games a season.

Kan'tPlay punched a chair last year and broke his hand...during the run for the playoffs! That's not good.
This year we have only played twenty games...and KantPlay's missed three. That's not good.

No, my eye test tells me KP is heading for an appearance in the All Star Game; KantPlay is heading for multiple trips to the MRI machine.
After watchng video, i am wondering How come this was not flagrant 2 on Winslow ?

Uhh, you know damned well in two years time you'll be yelling from the stands, "Fire Hornacek! Fire Hornacek!" I am way ahead of all you Johnny-come-latelys.

If Horny will be fired the name will be absolute same as meloshouldgo already is.
If coach will have a success in NY it will be stupid name also.
So dude is in no-win/no-win situation...

17 of 20 is 85%, which is pretty normal

If Kanter is getting MRIs it's because he gives 110% on the floor, fights for every rebound, and defends his teammates. If you can't respect that, i don't know what to tell you.

Hey, I love The Turk. I'm just being aware of the problems that will be in store for us. Back trouble? Man, that is thee worst ailment an athlete can have. That NEVER gets fixed. Enes Kantplay will be out quite often.
