I'm legitimately concerned for yours if you don't think 9 games is a significant enough sample to project the rest of the season, instead, you'd rather ignore the data set presented to formulate your own conclusions unrepresentative of the data you have in front of you. I'm also legitimately concerned, if you work with data, that you think a player ending the game with 3 fouls and 25 minutes played, is better than a player ending the game with 5 fouls and 35 minutes played.
The data notwithstanding, if you watch the game you can see hes exceptional at defending without fouling. When will the data be good enough for you? The end of March?
The entire premise of this whole discussion is wrong.
When did 9 become a statistically significant sample in science or statistics? Whether it's 9 of 30 (30%) or 9 of 18 (50%) or whatever does not matter. A sample of 9 is inherently flawed (ie not predictive) when total population number is low.
Bare minimum is 30 or so.
