Last time I tackled All-Star selections, so I\u2019m a bit behind with news links, but there is a real point to this: we sometimes lose sight of big events because in the NBA cycle even two days is a long stretch of time where just two or three headlines can erase the previous stories.I\u2019d also like to tackle normal headlines under the guise of an analytics blog, breaking down videos and opinion pieces. If you believe in the power of numbers and objective empiricism, you can still enjoy dunks and great passes and personalities too. There\u2019s no magic voodoo here, and the stat-inclined fans watch just as much basketball as anyone. And with that, here\u2019s week 12 of the NBA in review.<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget fs_ads\"><\/div>\n<h3><strong>Salt Lake Hill<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>One bad habit NBA fans have, and really everyone, is the inclination to completely dismiss a new fact or system because it doesn\u2019t agree with one particular bit of information they already believe. If an NBA metric has an anomalous result, and it strongly goes against conventional wisdom, people reject and deride said metric, instead of looking more at the data and information trying to figure out why the result happened \u2014 and in the process learning more about the player and the NBA in general. That process of discovery is extremely important for becoming more knowledgeable.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/fansided.com\/2017\/01\/17\/isaiah-thomas-giant-talent-giant-production\/\">Isaiah Thomas is a giant<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I wonder if that\u2019s happening with BPM and the Utah Jazz. If you asked someone who was leading the Jazz in BPM, you\u2019d get guesses of Gordon Hayward or Rudy Gobert, split pretty evenly too. But George Hill is currently leading the team: 5.9 to Gobert\u2019s 5.3 and Gordon\u2019s 5.0. He\u2019s actually leading them in PER and WS\/48 as well (23.3 to 23.0 from Gordon and 21.7 from Gobert, respectively). and nearly leading the team in RPM too. This isn\u2019t far from Hill\u2019s career high in BPM either, which would surprise most; he hit 5.6 a couple years ago. There\u2019s a common thread here: he had one year on the Pacers where he had a much bigger role. His usage rate was well above average, and his assist rate had climbed too. That was the season Paul George was injured, and it was pre-Monta Ellis. It\u2019s just a shame it was a partial season and he was largely ignored. Hill has had a bigger role on the Jazz though, and it\u2019s greatly boosted his overall numbers.<\/p>\n<p>However, there\u2019s something unsustainable about Hill\u2019s numbers, and it\u2019s not something that happened with his 2015 season: his 3-point percentage is abnormally high at 48.1 percent, and consequently his true shooting percentage is well above his previous career high too at 64.1. That\u2019s why he\u2019s\u00a0leading in so many different metrics, except for ones that regress heavily like RPM, Dredge, and PT-PM. If you substitute his career 3-point percentage into his percentage this season, his BPM would drop by roughly 1.7 points \u2014 both Hayward and Gobert would leap ahead of him. But most importantly, Hill would still rate as a very good player. He has a much better role on Utah, and he should be quite valuable for them the rest of the season, even if his 3-point percentage tanks.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What are Millennials ruining now?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Last Thursday, Adam Silver mentioned\u00a0a few changes the league was considering, and one of them was shortening the game. That change created <a href=\"http:\/\/www.inquisitr.com\/3880926\/nba-news-nba-may-shorten-games-to-accommodate-millennials-short-attention-spans\/\">a<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.foxsports.com\/nba\/story\/nba-working-to-speed-up-games-to-suit-millennials-011317?cmpid=feed:-sports-CQ-RSS-Feed\">few<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.charlotteobserver.com\/sports\/article126730309.html\">headlines<\/a> because it included a buzzword: millennials, who are apparently so transfixed by their phones and other devices we need to overhaul the NBA so they can watch. But what most articles and other comments failed to mention was that he actually said\u00a0everyone\u2019s attention span was decreasing, and<a href=\"http:\/\/www.espn.com\/nba\/story\/_\/id\/18460922\/nba-mull-pressing-throttle-games-endings-adam-silver-says\"> only said \u201cparticularly\u201d millennials<\/a> \u2014 he wasn\u2019t targeting just them. Plus, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.espn.com\/blog\/truehoop\/post\/_\/id\/36096\/hoopidea-more-basketball-in-crunch-time\">solutions<\/a> to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.espn.com\/espn\/page2\/story?page=simmons\/080530\">slow grind<\/a> at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.slate.com\/articles\/sports\/sports_nut\/2006\/05\/a_timeout_to_kill.html\">end of close games<\/a> have been <a href=\"http:\/\/www.espn.com\/espn\/page2\/story?num=0&amp;page=hruby\/050725\">proposed<\/a> for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sportingnews.com\/nba\/news\/nba-baseline-game-length-average-game-time-rod-thorn-d-league\/1ehs3cn9iii261xgs5hxv4p9bn\">years<\/a>. It\u2019s not exactly natural that it takes several minutes, on average, to play just one minute on the court. So, the NBA isn\u2019t going to change the league just to suit young people, and it\u2019s not like changes haven\u2019t happened before.<\/p>\n<p>Sixty years ago, the Greatest Generation had a waning interest in basketball due to its slow nature and laborious finishes. They weren\u2019t enthralled by low score games and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.snopes.com\/sports\/basketball\/24second.asp\">\u201cstall ball\u201d<\/a> \u2014 where leading teams would simply hold the ball to kill time \u2014 was killing fan interest. Then came the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2004\/12\/25\/sports\/basketball\/in-1954-shot-clock-revived-a-stalled-nba.html\">invention of the shot clock<\/a> and the NBA as we know it. Maybe the younger generation does want speedier games, but that\u2019s been discussed for decades, from the shot clock to the seven-seconds-or-less Suns, and we don\u2019t need to shame Millennials for it.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Time to dump Defended FG%<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>There are few objective ways to measure individual defense, so when the NBA unveiled \u201cdefended FG%\u201d \u2014 every shooter has a nearest defender, thanks to SportVU tracking, so you can total up\u00a0every \u201cdefended\u201d shot for each player in the league \u2014 I imagine many people, mostly NBA writers and analysts, rejoiced. There\u2019s even an expected field-goal percentage from the shooters the specified defender has been nearest to, and a resultant <a href=\"http:\/\/stats.nba.com\/players\/defense-dash-overall\/#!?sort=PCT_PLUSMINUS&amp;dir=-1&amp;CF=G*GE*20\">difference between the expected and real rates<\/a>. Thus, people then connect the dots and proclaim the players with the highest differences the best defenders.<\/p>\n<p>The problem is that it\u2019s mostly noise. as <a href=\"http:\/\/fansided.com\/2017\/01\/12\/nylon-calculus-shot-defense-metrics-actions\/\">Krishna Narsu found recently that there\u2019s virtually no correlation between Defended FG% for a player one year to the next<\/a>. Thankfully, that\u2019s not true when you only looking at shots five feet and in, but from six feet and out, it\u2019s random. This is especially true of 3-pointers. <a href=\"http:\/\/nyloncalculus.com\/2015\/03\/17\/deconstructing-a-new-sportvu-metric-part-2\/\">I\u2019ve discussed it before<\/a>. It\u2019s a junk stat, and, outside of rim protection, it\u2019s not useful in picking out the best defenders.<\/p>\n<p>You see it cited now and then among various blogs and even at bigger sites. We\u2019ll probably hear about it more when the Defensive Player of the Year arguments heat up. But think about how it\u2019s formulated: should a defender get credit for a jump shot taken far from his fingertips? What if the defender is behind the shooter and turned away? I know we\u2019re all yearning for useful defensive stats, but this is not one we should be using.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Your weekly Giannis fix<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Giannis Antetokounmpo\u00a0looks like a lock to start in the All-Star Game, which marks another notch in his steep rise to stardom. <a href=\"https:\/\/nbacouchside.com\/newsletter-sample-giannis-antetokounmpos-limitless-potential-e6586293c8e7#.5msbm6fkf\">His tremendous length has enabled him to be a defensive menace, and he\u2019s nigh unstoppable near the rim<\/a>[ I\u2019d implore you to donate to Kevin Ferrigan\u2019s patreon and support his work, if you haven\u2019t already.]. Look at that play embedded below \u2014 he needs two dribbles to clear most of the court and dunks nearly from the free throw line. In hindsight, it seems obvious that his unique combination of ridiculous length and ballhandling abilities would lead to an MVP-caliber status, but history is filled with failed draft picks from guys with potential like the horizon and unreal height and wingspan dimensions coupled with\u00a0guard-like skills. Giannis is the dream every GM has when watching an intentional prospect of mystery, but rarely do those players even reach half that potential, much less becoming more than we ever thought possible. Perhaps he\u2019ll led to a few gambles in this upcoming draft \u2014 just remember there are several Nikoloz Tskitishvili\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed \">\n<div

A coefficient of one means a ball, when released from one foot, would bounce up exactly one foot because it lost no velocity on the bounce; whereas a coefficient of 0.5 means the ball would only bounce partway up because it lost half its velocity. In the NBA, the coefficient of restitution is usually around 0.80 to 0.84. (This means that in terms of height, ignoring friction and assuming a vertical drop with no initial velocity, the ball dropped from, say, one foot would bounce back upwards two-thirds of a foot.)<\/p>\n<p>Why does this matter? A\u00a0higher\u00a0coefficient means a ball bounces harder and, thus, is worse for shooters who can benefit from shots that rattle in. You can then check for interesting patterns in the number.\u00a0For example, the CoR is suspiciously higher in Utah, where people have actually stated the Jerry Sloan-era Jazz would inflate the ball as much as they could legally because it worked well with their style \u2014 they were a free throw heavy team who scored inside. Perhaps the arena\u2019s crew got used to the high inflation principle, and it remains today. There\u2019s another explanation too: the CoR is a relationship between two objects that collide, i.e. the floor and the ball, and arena floors may actually have different properties. Regardless, it\u2019s an interesting article, and it\u2019s great to see the seldom-referenced coefficient of restitution principle applied appropriately.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Discrimination and stability of NBA stats<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I know academic, formal papers scare people, but they\u2019re more welcoming than most people think and you can just skim to find some interesting tidbits you wouldn\u2019t have otherwise known. <a href=\"https:\/\/arxiv.org\/pdf\/1609.09830.pdf\">This paper<\/a>, released back in the fall and tweeted out by <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/dataandme\">Mara Averick<\/a>, discussed multiple sports, but its section on the NBA has some useful info.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, the stability of a stat, which I have actually discussed ad naseum before, is about how well the stat stays consistent with the same players. Then there\u2019s discrimination, which is about how well a stat differentiates players from each other \u2014 a stat that\u2019s always one for every player is certainly stable but isn\u2019t very useful. Stats with high discrimination and stability include rebound percentages, assist rate, and block rate \u2014 those are the \u201cbest\u201d in a sense. However, one stat was lowly rated in stability and discrimination, and it\u2019s by a mile: 3-point percentage. That\u2019s something, again, I\u2019ve talked about endlessly, but it\u2019s for a good reason. It\u2019s not a good statistic, at least when you\u2019re only looking at a single season (and it\u2019s even worse with half a season.)<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed \">\n<div class=\"SandboxRoot env-bp-350\" data-twitter-event-id=\"1\">\n<div id=\"twitter-widget-1\" class=\"EmbeddedTweet EmbeddedTweet--mediaForward media-forward js-clickToOpenTarget js-tweetIdInfo\" lang=\"en\" data-click-to-open-target=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/dataandme\/status\/819967756506451968\" data-iframe-title=\"Twitter Tweet\" data-dt-full=\"%{hours12}:%{minutes} %{amPm} - %{day} %{month} %{year}\" data-dt-months=\"Jan|Feb|Mar|Apr|May|Jun|Jul|Aug|Sep|Oct|Nov|Dec\" data-dt-am=\"AM\" data-dt-pm=\"PM\" data-dt-now=\"now\" data-dt-s=\"s\" data-dt-m=\"m\" data-dt-h=\"h\" data-dt-second=\"second\" data-dt-seconds=\"seconds\" data-dt-minute=\"minute\" data-dt-minutes=\"minutes\" data-dt-hour=\"hour\" data-dt-hours=\"hours\" data-dt-abbr=\"%{number}%{symbol}\" data-dt-short=\"%{day} %{month}\" data-dt-long=\"%{day} %{month} %{year}\" data-scribe=\"page:tweet\" data-tweet-id=\"819967756506451968\" data-twitter-event-id=\"5\">\n<article class=\"MediaCard MediaCard--mediaForward customisable-border\" dir=\"ltr\" data-scribe=\"component:card\">\n<div class=\"MediaCard-mediaContainer js-cspForcedStyle\" data-style=\"padding-bottom: 50%\">\n<div class=\"MediaCard-mediaAsset ImageGrid ImageGrid--4 ImageGrid--roundedTop \"><a class=\"ImageGrid-image ImageGrid-image-0 CroppedImage CroppedImage--fillWidth \" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/dataandme\/status\/819967756506451968\/photo\/1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"CroppedImage-image js-cspForcedStyle\" title=\"View image on Twitter\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/C2EcU3lWEAABihc.jpg:small\" alt=\"View image on Twitter\" width=\"1185\" height=\"838\" data-srcset=\"https%3A%2F%2Fpbs.twimg.com%2Fmedia%2FC2EcU3lWEAABihc.jpg%3Alarge 1185w,https%3A%2F%2Fpbs.twimg.com%2Fmedia%2FC2EcU3lWEAABihc.jpg 1185w,https%3A%2F%2Fpbs.twimg.com%2Fmedia%2FC2EcU3lWEAABihc.jpg%3Asmall 680w\" data-style=\";

He was taken 38th and not rated highly by any publication I could find. Kevin Pelton, for instance, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.espn.com\/nba\/insider\/story\/_\/id\/16158972\/ranking-ben-simmons-brandon-ingram-top-prospects-2016-nba-draft-statistical-projections\">ranked him 73rd<\/a>, and he\u2019s far down this <a href=\"http:\/\/nyloncalculus.com\/2016\/05\/26\/draft-projections-and-visualizing-predictors-for-the-2016-nba-draft\/\">statistical projection<\/a> list from Nick Restifo \u2014 he wasn\u2019t even discussed when Nick <a href=\"http:\/\/nyloncalculus.com\/2016\/06\/30\/2016-nba-objective-draft-grades\/\">rated the Bucks\u2019 draft day<\/a>. He was a four-year senior with the kind of scouting report that<a href=\"http:\/\/www.brewhoop.com\/2016\/6\/23\/12022538\/milwaukee-bucks-malcolm-brogdon\"> worried about his athleticism<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brewhoop.com\/2016\/6\/27\/12037452\/bucks-malcolm-brogdon-draft-2016\">praised his high character<\/a>, which isn\u2019t a good sign for a prospect. He was a fantastic shooter though, hitting in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.draftexpress.com\/profile\/Malcolm-Brogdon-42107\/stats\/\">high 80\u2019s from the free throw line his entire career<\/a> and hovering around 40 percent from the 3-point line his senior season.<\/p>\n<p>Brogdon\u2019s sweet shooting has translated well to the NBA level, where he\u2019s hitting 43 percent of those shots from behind the arc and 89.5 percent from the line. He\u2019s already a solid NBA scorer, and he has a good assist rate too for a shooting guard; he\u2019s played the role of secondary ball-handler next to Giannis Antetokounmpo. He\u2019s been starting ever since Matthew Dellavedova got injured \u2014 and he\u2019s still starting now that Matthew\u2019s back.<\/p>\n<p>Malcolm had a great game against the Spurs last week when the Bucks upset them despite only nine minutes from Giannis. <a href=\"http:\/\/on.nba.com\/2ivRs61\">You can watch all his field goal attempts here<\/a>; he\u2019s more than just a spot-up shooter. He uses his driving ability to set-up players too, like <a href=\"http:\/\/on.nba.com\/2iw0bFp\">this drive-and-dish to Miles Plumlee<\/a>. He does need to improve his free-throw rate though; there are too many weak missed layups where he doesn\u2019t draw enough contact <a href=\"http:\/\/on.nba.com\/2ivTanV\">like this one<\/a>. But he does have the ability to <a href=\"http:\/\/on.nba.com\/2ivQAP7\">beat guys off the dribble and get to the rim with ease<\/a>, which is aided by his excellent shooting stroke \u2014 you don\u2019t want to give this guy space. The Bucks have had a quietly remarkable season, beating expectations even though they\u2019ve been without their second best player Khris Middleton. This is yet another boon: a nice guard who\u2019s good enough to start on a super cheap contract.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Free throw rebounds: 2017<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Basic stats still dominate NBA conversation, so when a player is tackling a historic milestone, like Russell Westbrook and his triple-double average, the concurrent narratives are hard to dodge. We all knew Westbrook could score, and he can pile up the assists like few others, but his new rebounding prowess is shocking. He was always a good rebounder for his position, but this is unprecedented. Even Jason Kidd didn\u2019t capture this many rebounds per opportunity. Check the graph below \u2014 Westbrook is far from any previous point guard season since 1974. Jason Kidd was the previous defensive rebounding king for his position, but Westbrook this season has surpassed him by a monster margin. Also take note of the underappreciated Fat Lever; his versatility was special.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cdn.fansided.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/229\/files\/2017\/01\/PG-rebound-rate.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1126993\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn.fansided.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/229\/files\/2017\/01\/PG-rebound-rate.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" srcset=\"\/\/cdn.fansided.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/229\/files\/2017\/01\/PG-rebound-rate.jpg 900w, \/\/cdn.fansided.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/229\/files\/2017\/01\/PG-rebound-rate-768x469.jpg 768w\" alt=\"pg-rebound-rate\" width=\"900\" height=\"550\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>But not all rebounds are the same, and it\u2019s surprising how often we combine the two official types of rebounds \u2014 offensive and defensive \u2014 into total rebounds. That\u2019s a loss of information, as offensive rebounds are quite distinct and more valuable individually. Westbrook, for example, is one of the most ferocious offensive rebounders at his position in NBA history, but we can slice rebounds into more categories as well. I\u2019ve done this before, but I thought it deserved an update: what happens when you separate rebounds by free throw versus field goal?<\/p>\n<p>Looking at 2017 first,\u00a0there\u2019s\u00a0something that stands out about free throw rebounds, and the real surprise is the gigantic margin: Russell Westbrook has 53 defensive free throw rebounds as of Sunday, while the next closest player, DeAndre Jordan, has 39. You can see the tweet and clip that inspired me below. His frontcourt players are often boxing out for him on easy free throw rebounds. I understand it\u2019s important to get the ball in his hands early, but in this case I think it\u2019d make sense for his teammates to pass him the ball while he\u2019s near, say, halfcourt. Wouldn\u2019t that be faster?<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed \">\n<div class=\"SandboxRoot env-bp-350\" data-twitter-event-id=\"2\">\n<div id=\"twitter-widget-2\" class=\"EmbeddedTweet EmbeddedTweet--mediaForward media-forward js-clickToOpenTarget js-tweetIdInfo\" lang=\"en\" data-click-to-open-target=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ErikHorneOK\/status\/820381150145351681\" data-iframe-title=\"Twitter Tweet\" data-dt-full=\"%{hours12}:%{minutes} %{amPm} - %{day} %{month} %{year}\" data-dt-months=\"Jan|Feb|Mar|Apr|May|Jun|Jul|Aug|Sep|Oct|Nov|Dec\" data-dt-am=\"AM\" data-dt-pm=\"PM\" data-dt-now=\"now\" data-dt-s=\"s\" data-dt-m=\"m\" data-dt-h=\"h\" data-dt-second=\"second\" data-dt-seconds=\"seconds\" data-dt-minute=\"minute\" data-dt-minutes=\"minutes\" data-dt-hour=\"hour\" data-dt-hours=\"hours\" data-dt-abbr=\"%{number}%{symbol}\" data-dt-short=\"%{day} %{month}\" data-dt-long=\"%{day} %{month} %{year}\" data-scribe=\"page:tweet\" data-tweet-id=\"820381150145351681\" data-twitter-event-id=\"4\">\n<article class=\"MediaCard MediaCard--mediaForward cards-multimedia customisable-border\" dir=\"ltr\" data-scribe=\"component:card\">\n<div class=\"MediaCard-media\">\n<div class=\"MediaCard-widthConstraint js-cspForcedStyle\" data-style=\"max-width: 800px\">\n<div class=\"MediaCard-mediaContainer js-cspForcedStyle\" data-style=\"padding-bottom: 100.0000%\">\n<div class=\"NaturalImage-ctaOverlay PlayButton PlayButton--centered\" data-scribe=\"element:play_button\"><\/div>\n<p><a class=\"MediaCard-mediaAsset MediaCard-mediaPlaceholder NaturalImage NaturalImage--fill js-playableMediaInterstitial\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ErikHorneOK\/status\/820381150145351681\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"NaturalImage-image\" src=\"https:\/\/o.twimg.com\/2\/proxy.jpg?t=HBilAWh0dHBzOi8vdi5jZG4udmluZS5jby9yL3RodW1icy8yOEFCMjczMEU5MTQzMjEzNDQwMDM5MjQ2NjQzMl81OTdiMTEyYWZmYS40My4wLjU2MTYxQjI4LTZFN0QtNERDNC1CQUVBLTk5MUE1OEVCNUMwNC5tcDQuanBnP3ZlcnNpb25JZD1rcnMwWUJjTU5vUGtqQ2tfWldOblJDZkd0NFg5MWhQRRTABxTABwAWABIA&amp;s=FP_SbOv87fa_sst0riq_4cRFEpptB3dy9d8-aCbgvW8\" alt=\"\" data-scribe=\"element:poster_image\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div class=\"EmbeddedTweet-tweet\">\n<blockquote class=\"Tweet h-entry js-tweetIdInfo subject expanded is-deciderHtmlWhitespace\" cite=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ErikHorneOK\/status\/820381150145351681\" data-tweet-id=\"820381150145351681\" data-scribe=\"section:subject\">\n<div class=\"Tweet-header u-cf\">\n<div class=\"Tweet-brand u-floatRight\">\n<div class=\"Icon Icon--twitter \" title=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"u-hiddenInNarrowEnv\"><a class=\"FollowButton follow-button profile\" title=\"Follow Erik Horne on Twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ErikHorneOK\" data-scribe=\"component:followbutton\">Follow<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"TweetAuthor \" data-scribe=\"component:author\">\n<p><a class=\"TweetAuthor-link Identity u-linkBlend\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ErikHorneOK\" data-scribe=\"element:user_link\"><span class=\"TweetAuthor-avatar Identity-avatar\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"Avatar\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/profile_images\/552228171979182080\/E52nak-q_normal.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-scribe=\"element:avatar\" data-src-2x=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/profile_images\/552228171979182080\/E52nak-q_bigger.jpeg\" data-src-1x=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/profile_images\/552228171979182080\/E52nak-q_normal.jpeg\" \/><\/span><span class=\"TweetAuthor-name Identity-name customisable-highlight\" title=\"Erik Horne\" data-scribe=\"element:name\">Erik Horne<\/span> <\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"Icon Icon--verified \" title=\"Verified Account\"><\/div>\n<p><a class=\"TweetAuthor-link Identity u-linkBlend\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ErikHorneOK\" data-scribe=\"element:user_link\"><span class=\"TweetAuthor-verifiedBadge\" data-scribe=\"element:verified_badge\"><b class=\"u-hiddenVisually\">\u2714<\/b><\/span><span class=\"TweetAuthor-screenName Identity-screenName\" dir=\"ltr\" title=\"@ErikHorneOK\" data-scribe=\"element:screen_name\">@ErikHorneOK<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"Tweet-body e-entry-content\" data-scribe=\"component:tweet\">\n<p class=\"Tweet-text e-entry-title\" dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Westbrook has 45 more rebs via missed FTs compared to last yr.

Perhaps that meant at this point during the season, but in any case it\u2019s still quite a leap statistically.<\/p>\n<p>How does Westbrook compare historically? I can grab these stats going back to 1997, and for a fairer comparison I\u2019ll look at things on a per minute basis. Westbrook is 15th in that time frame with the best rate since 2013. You\u2019ll notice some repeats in the table below, like Marcus Camby and Drew Gooden, and some rebounders who have been labeled overrated by their stats alone, like Carlos Boozer.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Table: top FT DRB rates, 1997-2017, min. 1000 MP<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<table width=\"444\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"140\">Player<\/td>\n<td width=\"51\">Season<\/td>\n<td width=\"41\">Team<\/td>\n<td width=\"64\">FT DRBs<\/td>\n<td width=\"64\">FT ORBs<\/td>\n<td width=\"84\">FT DRBs\/ 40 MP<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Kurt Thomas<\/td>\n<td>2008<\/td>\n<td>SEA<\/td>\n<td>54<\/td>\n<td>4<\/td>\n<td>2.04<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Chris Gatling<\/td>\n<td>2000<\/td>\n<td>ORL<\/td>\n<td>44<\/td>\n<td>11<\/td>\n<td>1.69<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Ike Austin<\/td>\n<td>1998<\/td>\n<td>MIA<\/td>\n<td>56<\/td>\n<td>7<\/td>\n<td>1.63<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Clar.

They\u2019re significantly more valuable, consequently. Referring to the table below, you\u2019ll again see a lot of repeat names, which is a good sign because it\u2019s a mark of discrimination. Westbrook, by the way, is ranked much lower, as he\u2019s only grabbed one offensive free throw rebound. That makes sense, though, because the offense is only allowed two players at the edge of the paint for\u00a0free throw rebounding, and their frontcourt guys usually take those stations.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Table: top FT ORB rates, 1997-2017, min. 1000 MP<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<table width=\"481\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"124\">Player<\/td>\n<td width=\"64\">Season<\/td>\n<td width=\"64\">Team<\/td>\n<td width=\"64\">FT DRBs<\/td>\n<td width=\"64\">FT ORBs<\/td>\n<td width=\"101\">FT ORBs\/ 40 MP<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Clar.

Westbrook\u2019s proportion is 14.4 percent, which ranks 289th since 1997 among qualified seasons (1000 minutes played.) It\u2019s not the highest this season either, as Jae Crowder is tops with 17.5 percent, and that\u2019s got nothing on Jalen Rose\u2019s mark of 25.4 percent in 2005. Of course, some of this is influenced by how many opportunities players have, which is controlled by the playing environment. Free throws have been trending downwards for a few years slightly, so it\u2019s better to compare Westbrook to his peers from this season, where his stats are truly anomalous.<\/p>\n<div class=\"next-post lg\"><a class=\"location\" href=\"http:\/\/fansided.com\/2017\/01\/16\/nylon-calculus-pelicans-stagnant-offense-situational-play\/\" data-track=\"shortcode\" data-track-action=\"next-post-shortcode\"><span class=\"next\">NEXT: <\/span>A quick look at the Pelicans' stagnant offense and situational play<\/a><\/div>\n<p>I realize that Russell Westbrook is a menace to opposing teams no matter what the stats exactly say, and that all stats should be taken with a grain of salt, but it\u2019s important we all understand that not all rebounds are the same, among other truths. Some rebounds are tougher than others, and they should appropriately receive more credit. It\u2019s best when Westbrook grabs a defensive board because he can blitz the defense and lead his team to an easier opportunity, but I question the utility with free throw rebounds, where defenses are more prepared and he could just as easily stay close to the halfcourt line and await a pass from someone else before attacking. Soon we\u2019re going to get serious with MVP discussions, and we should all understand what the stats are indicating.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<footer class=\"article-footer\">\n<div
