Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 3178900, member: 2117"] I know it is still very early, but the overall play in the league is down compared to the level it was at last summer and the year prior. I hope the play picks up and expect it will, but here are some numbers from 2017 vs. 2018 vs. 2019 so far: Average PPG 2017: 81.4 2018: 82.4 2019: 78 A/TO Ratio: 2017: 1.29 2018: 1.51 2019: 1.26 Offensive Rating 2017: 103.1 2018: 105.6 2019: 99.5 Pace of Play 2017: 78.3 2018: 78.1 2019: 78.2 FG% 2017: 44.1 2018: 44.5 2019: 42.2 3pt% 2017: 33.8 2018: 34.5 2019: 31.3 With pace of play almost the exact same, it seems that teams are just missing more shots and turning the ball over compared to a year ago. Makes sense that numbers are down with a ton of top scorers and passers missing. It reflects on the eye test so far too. Hopefully overall quality of play picks up but we might just be in for a less than spectacular year like we were gifted last season. [/QUOTE]
