I think this speaks a little to how they use him as well. Not to take away from either Evans or Gordon, both of whom have stepped up big time, or even anyone of the role players that are doing well for them like Ajinca and Cunningham. But when I've watched a healthy Pelicans team I see Davis being lower on the totem pole than guys like Holiday and Evans. He's still effective so it's not a huge problem, but I wonder what he could do if they ran more of the offence through him.

Stats isn't mathematics.


Then what the **** is it? Music appreciation class?


He is right and wrong. Statistics class is a math course in most, if not all universities.

However, statistics is not considered math...same with probability.

Speaks to how much better we've been, unexpectedly, with Gordon+Tyreke starting really.

Nevermind. It means he's a stat padder.

A statistics course is most definitely a math class. What the hell are you smoking? Pass it this way.

Literally the first sentence in a university 200 level (introductory) statistics class is "statistics is not mathematics."
