Just saw this small video on my Facebook timeline. Spreading the word about our GM and tech behind it.
Moreknee is the pioneer of this era but wont get recognized as such by the non-Houston fans until someone makes a NBA docu-series 20 years from now.
Maybe his draft picks on average produce 5% more WS than what the picks are projected to be? IE: the average 1st overall pick produces 76.9 WS over his career, if your #1 overall pick produces about 81 WS then you used the 1st overall pick 5% better than average. Examples of such picks at #1: James Worthy (81.2 WS), Chris Webber (84.7 WS)
Win share isn't a great catch all because it derives value from the team winning . A good player on a great team might have more ws than a great player on a bad team .
Not really, it just happens to be that good teams tend to have players that contribute to winning. The best example of a team with few wins but a player at the top of WS is AD with New Orleans. He and Giannis have nearly identical impacts on winning and the advanced stats reflect this, AD is just on a worse team.
I feel like whatever advantage Morey has over others will be gone within 5-10yrs. And that second spectrum mathematical model, where each player is a dot with variable attributes assigned to each...it sure feels like San Antonio has been operating with such a thing for 20yrs now. When everyone uses the same data, the only thing to separate teams will be players that can create mismatches and do things no one else can do. By then Morey’s only edge in the future will be scouting prospects who otherwise have little to no exposure.
