#1 The Knicks should hire you for their analytics team. #2 I share your crush on TJ McConnell. Not sure if he just plays well against the Knicks (my sample size), but seems to always makes the right shot or pass, bangs the open look if you disrespect him and is always hitting the floor diving for that loose ball (and often winning). Scrappy. Seems like Thibs' kinda guy...and the NYK fans would go nuts for him. Fast fan favorite.

100%. And it's not just against NY. His numbers across the board are just outstanding. Effects winning in multiple ways. I hope they go after him.

I second Future's #1 comment. The EFG chart and the chart of available/gettable PGs ranked according to your selected stats was absolutely brilliant. THAT CHART needs to get some serious love and attention. I mean, this is THE LIST of players we should all be referring to from now on as far #1 offseason priorities.

Kendrick Nunn's rank on there was surprising. He clearly doesn't check all the boxes, but checks several (and likely to get better). What's the word on his future with Miami and are other teams sniffing around on him?

Oh. And where does our boy IQ rank on this list?

Thank you Qasim! All I know about Nunn is that if Miami goes big game hunting, he's probably gone. Can't afford to keep his cap hold I don't think. As for IQ, he's somewhat low (49.7 eFG%) but he's a rookie so he gets a pass!

Hubie Brown once said that "scoring makes up for a lot of sins." Shooting helps scoring but scoring is what counts.
