Giddey's shooting has been getting better this season.
Poku has been the biggest surprise as an OKC fan this year. He's suddenly looking like a pretty solid NBA player after a couple of years of adjusting. He's starting to shoot 3s decently and has 1.8 blocks per game.
Ousmane Dieng is down in G-League at the moment, but I reckon he has star potential.

love poku rooting for him, okc is sweet, too bad chet got injured tho
― lag∞n, Thursday, 17 November 2022 23:28 (one year ago) link
okc's plan of "what if the whole team was stretched out guys" is kind of brilliant, chet + wemby + poku + dieng would be an absolute fever dream of arm length

I would love to read a really detailed article by, like, a kinesiologist about how SGA does what he does. Or watch an ESPN Sport Science or whatever.
He was the same way at Kentucky. Looks (relatively) slow and like he's not working hard, but usually gets to his spots with enough space to make shots.
It's pretty amazing if you watch it for very long.

I reckon OKC has a chance of being around the play-in game this year if SGA stays healthy and they don't shamelessly tank.
They're 7-8 - half of their losses have been against the Nuggets, Timberwolves, and Bucks. teams with dominant bigs that they need Chet to help with.

yeah but looking at his frequencies, he hardly ever shoots from that distance, I think it’s like 6/7 or something lol
the part of that that means something is his deadliness from within 10 feet. 77% at the rim (coupled with career high free throw rate AND career high free throw percentage) plus 62.5% from floater range…simply unstoppable. now if he would only take some more shots…
and yeah joe he’s been awful from 3 lol

how come every site has a different number for offensive defensive and net rating isnt it just a points per possession situation whats going on here
current boston celtics offrtgnba.com: 119.1 https://www.nba.com/stats/teams/advanced?dir=A&sort=OFF_RATINGbasketball ref: 121 https://www.basketball-reference.com/leagues/NBA_2023_ratings.htmlstatmuse: 120 https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask?q=offensive+rating+2022-2023+nba+teams
then two that are called offensive efficiencyespn: 117.8 http://www.espn.com/nba/hollinger/teamstats team rankings: 116.4 https://www.teamrankings.com/nba/stat/offensive-efficiency
― lag∞n, Sunday, 20 November 2022 15:48 (one year ago) link
i believe the formula for offensive rating is more complex than just points per 100 possessions, but didn’t know there were that many variants on it
― call all destroyer, Sunday, 20 November 2022 15:58 (one year ago) link
basketball refs says its just points per, wikipedia says otherwise but links to the basketball ref page lol, player rating is def a whole algo tho
― lag∞n, Sunday, 20 November 2022 16:45 (one year ago) link
then there is adjusted rating, idk why the plain one wld be any more than points per its what the people want
― lag∞n, Sunday, 20 November 2022 16:46 (one year ago) link
ohhh maybe i was looking at player rating. but yeah let’s all get on the same page and use one rating here.
