Player PER

I'm not really too worried about Mo. He's a veteran in this league and he knows what he's doing. He's been rackin up a shitload of turnovers and not shootin that well, but it's all good. He hasn't played much with these guys so I think he's just gettin a feel for his teammates while getting into game shape. Come regular season he'll be fine. 15 pts off the bench

 

He shot 54.3% from the field (True Shooting Percentage) which is excellent. On the shots he was going to make they fouled him and he made the free throws.

 

So I'm curious, how does Lillard get his PER up from last year? He seems to be focusing more on scoring this preseason, but I was hoping he'd get his assists up.

 

Mins down, TO down, FG% up should be the easiest way. I see him climbing to around 20 this year.

 

I think he'll get more steals this year too.

 

And blocks!

 

magnifier- come out with it. Tell people what you know.

 

and.... other stats.

 

What are you talking about?

 

He finally figured out that you're actually Wes Matthews.

 

Damn!

 

are you actually Wesley Matthews Cousin? He looks 1/16th Korean for sure!

 

4 games in
Lopez: 9.1
Batum: 16.5
Lillard: 27.0
LMA: 24.5
Matthews: 21.1
Wright: 19.9
Williams: 6.2
Robinson: 9.7

Funny how Batum is always labeled as inconsistent, but even in this ridiculously small sample size he's still right in his normal PER range.

 

You would think a guy who is dropping triple doubles would have a higher PER.

 

High variance in performance ... which is right in his normal range for his career.

 

Yeah that is pretty surprising, a triple double and averaging double figure rebounds but only 16.5 PER. Hickson had a PER of 19.7 last year.

 

His first game was a pile of poo.

 

I'm wondering what Hick's per will be at this year.

EDIT: So far it's 10.2

 

I think he'll regress to his mean, so probably 14 or 15, but I doubt he's anywhere close to his mark last year.

 

Probably; there's only 2 games in his sample, and one of them was spazzing out against LMA.
