So I was messing around on NBA.com player tracking stats today and figured I'd share some interesting stats for OKC players. Obviously it'll continue to change as the season goes on.

Rim protection- player is within 5 feet of the basket and within 5 feet of the offensive player
Perkins- 29.4% 3rd among all players with atleast 2 attempts on them per game
Durant- 42.9% a little better than Lebron
Ibaka- 45% about the same in howard with attempts and %, 7th for most attempts against
Adams- 50% - about the same as Pau Gasol and Vucevic
some of the worst are Deandre Jordan(59%) and Kevin Love(58)

Drives
Jackson-53% on drives, team scores 6.6 points on 5.2 drives
Durant- 49% on drives, team scores 6.4 points on 5.2 drives
Westbrook- 24% on drives, team scores 6.7 points on 7.1 drives - lowest fg% on drives with players with at least 50

Rebounding Opportunities
Ibaka- 43% of rebounds are contested-2nd among players with at least 10 rebounds(Davis 1st), Howard at 31%
Durant- 22% -a little better than Lebron
Adams- 52%

Catch and Shoot
Ibaka- 44% and 27% from 3
Lamb- 39% and 44%
Durant- 31% and 30%
Sef- 28% and 30%

Pull-up
Lamb 46% and 27%
Durant 44% and 50%
Jackson 37% and 29%
Westbrook 37% and 33%

Another to add (just found it interesting/encouraging):
Among players w/ at least 20 minutes per game, Jeremy Lamb is 11th in points per touch (KD is 7th). Lamb ranks just between Eric Gordon and Anthony Davis.

I think that's pretty encouraging considering his extremely high eFG%. He is scoring pretty at a pretty high rate when he gets the ball on good efficiency. So its not like he's turning down shots for the sake of his efficiency or anything like that. A lot of the other guys high on that list are some of the best pure scorers in the league.

can you have the list for top 15 or 20 inclusive of our rotational players as well.

Here's the list (sorry the formatting is terrible, but I can't figure out a way to get it right). The link is:

Reproduced the above. Top 20 + other OKC rotational players that appear in the list.

I've suspected that SportsVU tracking stats would have good things to say about Perkins.

Presti has had that system in The Peake for three seasons now, and I've heard Presti speak about Perk as a rim defender.

Perk is terribly frustrating to watch as an offensive player, but that's not why he's on the team. Thunder have plenty of offense.
