You're quick in reply (if misguided therein). But wasn't the stat also thrown around this week that he was the first Celtic player on a rookie contract to score in double digits for 22 consecutive games--since Paul Pierce?
I think you're just making up some ridiculous standard to try to judge him against, for whatever reason.
Let's get soemthing clear. I absolutely love scary terry. yes? I'm just fed up with the recent trend of trying to cluster all players in a group of 'X player in question - scary Terry' and future HOFs - Lebron Durant etc . Honestly mate I'm a data scientist and this is absurd. I can do that for any given player. Anyone. The trick is to start filtering your data in such a way as to make sure that you are left in a small group of all-stars and your guy. I can probably do that with Jordan mickey too. ie add points rebounds assists with minimum cutoff Terry's numbers. Of course there's only a small group above that. The permutations are endless there's abound to be one solution to your problem that looks nice!
I did say he is growing and he is showing excellent potential. 1 month ago i said we could get an Oladipo breakout season from him. Love him. To bits.
But the statistics is just plain stoopid. He isn;t a bargain. He is a rookie. (logical fallacy). all rookies get bargain salaries.
The stats clustering makes no sense. This is all i am saying.
Only an idiot of a data scientist would try to apply statistically valid sample techniques to commentary on athletes' in season, and often game to game, performances. Nobody but such an idiotic data scientist would take such context as claiming that a rookie contract player is as good as clear HoFers off a single game performance. Jeesh!!!
You're calling me an idiot boy? I went out and got a Phd not sure if there's anything else i can do to prove myself. I didn't attack Terry. I attacked the stats. I apologise if problems more complicated than 2*2 look confusing. Btw i wasn't really applying any stats. I was referring to the use of PPG, APG RPG - hence the stats. The clustering of stats can have gazzilions of solutions and can be tailored acc. to what you wish to show. it's a made up group. This is common logic. It's not science. you don't need an idiot with a phd to explain that.
Lastly, not just idiotic data scientists use (proper) statistics for player performances. The league does. Everyone does.
I assume you jumped the flat-earth hypetrain ages ago?
Just to prove what i mean i created a group from NBA official data in which Dahtay Jones' averages in specific categories - ppg, rpg, %FG %3PT (from Cleveland Cavaliers i believe 2 years ago) were only surpassed by these guys in the same year:
Stephen Curry
Kawhi Leonard
Marc Gasol
Chandler Parsons
was he a two way player?
