You call me out for setting filter from 1st of December onward, claim it is small sample, yet the sample is about 50 games. It's over half the season and significant in any statistical comparison of lineups.
Now, after you complained of my "filtering", let's remind ourselves of filters you included 2 pages ago, filters that had goal of proving Fournier is highly effective and deserves so much playing time. This attempt was weak at best as even with such high amount of filters you used, you still couldn't get Fournier to top the chart in any meaningful way. So, lets see how "ezzzp" does the filtering.
"Top TS% amongst guards and forwards with:
+1400 minutes (quality sample size)
+40 games started (vs starting quality competition):"
"Top Assist % for players that are 6'6" to 6"9" (small forwards) with:
+1400 minutes (quality sample size)
+40 games started (vs starting quality competition):"
So yeah, I guess when you pull a stat, filtering by "height", "minutes", and "started games" is just fine and does not distort the data. According to you, it improves the quality of data and proves your point about Fournier. Yet, when I propose that we do not include first two-three months of rookies career in seeing his on court effectiveness today, you complain like it's some kind of huge crime. He's a god damn rookie, ofcourse he took some time to adjust.
Ignore ezzzp, he is not looking to have a meaningful discussion, he manipulates statistics to prove his point only to cry wolf when others back their claims with better statistics. Oh, and him calling someone a player fan is such a lazy argument (to use his words).
LOL, don't hyperventilate and slobber all over yourself.
The TS% was to show how Fournier's shooting efficiency ranks amongst players in a similar role. It is filtered for 1400minutes and 40 games started to show that he sustained it vs starting level competition and for a quality amount of time.
The AS% was to show how Fourniers Assist % compared to players who because of their size range (6'6"-6'9") more than likely are defended by and defend players in that same size range (basically SF's vs SF's but its more fluid than that). That was also filtered at 1400m/40 gs to show that % was vs starting level competition and sustained for a quality amount of minutes.
Btw, 40 (41) games is half an NBA season and most starters average around 2100 minutes a season (thus 1400m is about 2/3 of a starter's season minutes). Those numbers aren't arbitrary.
The team lineup (not individual) stat you used, filtered out the three months when the Magic played their best and when Hezonja played his worst. Its not even close to the same thing.
Its really quite adorable that you are throwing a tantrum and trying to get others to ignore someone...my little sister used to do the same thing with her friends when she was a pre-teen.
