    Their analysis appears to be based completely on Win Shares and Box-Plus-Minus.

    Also surprised we weren't worse given what a non-factor Vonleh was.

    And, ATL was 4th, with Bazemore being their "weak" link (I wonder where they ranked in 2014-15 with DeMarre Carroll as their starting SF). THIS is exactly why I want us to go hard after both Horford and Millsap. Getting one of the two would greatly improve our front court. Getting both, to go with Aminu as SF would give us a top 4 frontcourt (at least) to go with our top 2 backcourt.

    Ya I figured we were worse as well. Especially when Noah was starting consistently.

    Fuck man., We had a pretty good PF that would have fit pretty well with this system. But alas, he was a big pussy and went running home to his poppa!!!!!

    Eh. Could have been worse. The front court situation was hastily assembled after LMA left town. Definately the top priority now that the offseason's started.

    I blame Lillard.

    Or his mother for not making him taller.

    An anomaly. We were 2 different teams this year - one where we started Vonleh and sucked, and one where we didn't.

    Really should have 2 different ranking, but I understand why they didn't. Of course, it tends to invalidate their ranking.
