Caveman is actually the white Hibbert 

Post#1 » by aaron_gray » Fri Mar 14, 2014 6:14 am

I only recently started following this blog, so take it with a grain of salt.

As Slava stated, there are obviously a few glitches with this list, starting with Hawes who I'm pretty sure flipped the double bird at defense before he was traded.

The list is actually from December 2013, but the author says he has updated it in a recent post.

Spencer Hawes made that list too over Duncan, Howard & Bogut, from now onwards per 36 are a good way to identify white players.

Just for comparison's sake, here are the players at the end.

It's pretty much everyone you expect, except for maybe David Lee (who is hovering at the 48-50 mark on these lists).

Quote from the article:

Looking at some specific results:
I strongly doubt Chris Kaman maintains his spot, though he in limited action has "held" opponents to the lowest FG% on shots at the rim on a large number of attempts/36.
Neither Love nor Pekovic show up very well
Other surprising players who appear "negative" in this analysis are Al Horford, Anthony Davis and especially Marc Gasol. Horford and Davis are at least explicable based on them spending more time away from the basket (and given Davis's shot blocking ability there is undoubtedly some deterrence/prevention lowering his number of contests). I have no good explanation off the top of my head why Gasol shows up poorly though. Memphis does play at a slower pace and allows fewer rim attempts than most teams, but his standing is still surprising.
Miles Plumlee does well, Markieff Morris, not so much
