While in undeniable that our ball movement is worlds better than it was last year, don't forget about the impact of pace of play in this statistic.

Or the addition of Gilbert. Massive difference from last year.

-In 2018-19, we have essentially the same number of assists through the 1st 7 games (111) as we did through our first 12 games in 17-18. And there were 2 OT games mixed into those 12 games.

Wow.

I thought "Wow" too. It's shocking that we had 111 assists all year least year, let alone in 12 games.

Some interesting stats I noticed through first 7 games [most are good!]:

Individuals:

-After a cold first two games FG shooting overall and from beyond the arc (5/21 & 2/12), CV has shot 24/48 (50%) and 11/23 (48%) in the past 5 games

-CV has had the same # of TOs in the last 5 games as the first 2 games (9)

-AG is shooting 47% from 3pt range on a decent volume (15-32). Many have been beyond NBA 3pt range.

-As someone whose clear strength is driving the lane for dishes, layups, and getting to the FT line, Terrance Myth desperately needs to find a way to improve his FT shooting (11/21, 52%). His previous years indicate his ceiling is not high (~63% career FT on ~300 attempts), but even getting back to that level will be important given that he will probably be on the court near the end of close


Team:

-Although our team FT shooting has just been OK (70%), our 3 guards who play the highest minutes (JA, AG, CV) are shooting a combined 50/62 (81%)

-In 2018-19, we have essentially the same number of assists through the 1st 7 games (111) as we did through our first 12 games in 17-18. And there were 2 OT games mixed into those 12 games.

-Shot quality matters: We shot 171/419 (40.8%) thru 1st 7 games in 17-18; we have increased that to 227/458 (49.6%) in 18-19.

Good job, Chief likes to study stats. I don’t use the official stats in Chief Briefs because that’s all about the in game eye test experience. However, I do study them between games.

I'm glad you posted this. Was about to ask you when you liked to study stats.

I am old school with math - like to do it in my head. It helps one understand math concepts, relationship and logical math short cuts. Facilitates analyzing data.
