Various Jazz stats.
Posted: Mon Feb 6, 2012 11:08 pm
Looking at some stats a third of the way through the year and decided to just post them for everyone else:
Jazz are easily first in the league at allowing shots from 3-9 (which is generally very inefficient), that's good.
Jazz are third worst in the league at percentage of shots made at the rim though not as many attempts. It's harder to get to the rim against the Jazz, but if a player gets there, they'll likely make a layup or get fouled and make free throws (since the Jazz's foul rate is still extraordinarily high).
We're pretty average at rebounding, 18th in the league.
Team is bottom 3 in both allowing scoring from pick-and-roll ball handlers and in isolation. Not sure if that's on the guards for not be able to play defense or the big men not rotating enough.
They've been pretty good in transition defense so far.
Jazz's three best defenders rated by on/off +/- are Earl (5.4 points better), Millsap (4.9 points better), and Kanter (4.1 points better). Not counting Burks due to lack of minutes.
Jazz's three worst defenders going by on/off +/- are Al Jefferson (5.6 worse), Bell (5.3 worse), and Hayward (3.2 worse). Remember that playing alongside bad or good defenders can also sway defensive +/-
Overall, the Jazz are 21st in defense but that is quickly dropping. Could end up in the bottom 5 in the league.
We're dead last in three point shooting
Second in the league at finishing at the rim
2nd in the league in attempts from 3-9 feet even though it's very inefficient (Al Jefferson effect)
2nd fewest turnovers in the league (that's good, also Al Jefferson related)
5th in free throw rate
Last in the league at pick-and-roll scoring from the ball handler
Team runs a ton but isn't good at it (Both of the last two have a lot to do with Harris most likely)
3rd in the league in scoring off offensive rebounds
Jazz's three best offensive players going by on/off +/- are Millsap (7.9 points better), Josh Howard (3.6 better), and Al (.8 better)
Jazz's three worst in offensive on/off are Favors (6.7 points worse), Kanter (5.9 worse), and Harris (3.7 worse). Kanter and Favors' low marks may simply be because they're not playing with Millsap.
8th in offense all together
So there are some stats.
