"And following up on that luck/variance element I referred to Steph's data is dragged down [---] points per [---] possessions (worse than 80% of players). That's a decent impact on all of his non-luck adjusted data. Podz at [-----] so no impact. Because that data is measuring noise it's all over the place year to year. For most players there's minimal impact but each year there are guys who take a hit or get boosted up artificially"

"LA is a death machine against soft hedging while being much worse against drop/switching and some of the tanking teams still soft hedge against them. Easy way to get lit up while still getting playing time for your guys. Teams will adjust behavior to the incentives but if the league really wants to crack down on the substitutions/availability part there are other easy ways to shave points. I think it's lame but want to acknowledge what's happening/likely to happen. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2022133105193103454 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2022133105193103454"
