This is great.

There's a fantastic article on The Athletic how about Porzingis took his game to another level in Washington by fully embracing analytics. In a nutshell he was made to understand which plays worked for him and which didn't. For example, he's bad at shooting fadeaways and shooting after he's dribbled more than twice--so he simply eliminated that from his game. In Dallas, where neither nor Carlisle embraced analytics, they wrongly concluded he'd become bad at scoring in the post so he flatly stopped posting up.

I'm quite certain, based on what I've read,
that this staff is using the same type of data to determine what works and what doesn't for each player. It seems clear to me that Howard's staff did nothing of the sort. Reed was put in a position to fail and anyone who is citing his on/off as evidence of anything makes me think they didn't think very much before doing that.

As importantly as this staff's commitment to playing smart basketball is Reed's commitment to becoming better and his quotes tell me does have that fire (just like Mahaney's and McNeeley's quotes do about them). Takes two to tango.
