Just wondering where you get these stats? I've seen a similar chart to Ricky Rubio and wanted to toy with it myself.

2 man line up combos from basketball reference should have the raw data. You need to do a little work to get those differences.

I saw it by accident on twitter. I would like to find these stats for some other players if possible.

21pts 6rebs 1blk. Pretty much shows the complete offensive arsenal, post/dribble iso/fastbreak/jumper/stepback jumper. 104DRTG. Continued to defend PFs but is now leaking out to punish cross matches. Did a poor job boxing out in the 2nd half IMO, but continued to do well in defensive rotations and shows no problem translating to defending PFs.

Russell today: 22/3/3 on 6-9 shooting (8-12 from the line, 2-2 from 3), with only one turnover.

That play where he beat Dudley off the bounce and that cross on Nene were sooo sweet. His production is going so far up recently it's not exactly out of the picture that he ends the season above league average efficiency which would be great considering the start he got out to.

This kid is a beast. I knew it predraft but it finally looks like he's saying screw Byron Scott. In his last 10 he's averaging 15/3/4 on 58 TS (116 ORTG) and he's showing that wet jumper he had in college. He needs to make his freethrows but outside of that he's been great recently. All the people calling him bust before have gotten extremely quiet recently.

Russell would have had a 30point game but Byron benched him the entire 4th quarter.

His defense at PF also is unnoticed, largely because his inability to provide near 2 or more bpg numbers. Defensive numbers were bad in the last 4 games but he bounced back against the Wiz. Only 8 baskets were made out of his 25 defended shots. Wiz shot 40FG% when he's on the court and only 46% when he's off the court. I eventually think he will transition well at PF. He's just more suited there, specially when his mid-range goes up to 46% like in Jan.

One thing I'm impressed with DLO and it's something I didn't expect, is that he's been much better in getting to the rim. That was my biggest critic in his game before.
