Matt and I are more on the same page than one may think. I definitely see more positive value in Amir Johnson in the analytics I use versus his observations, but generally we're close. He just...
For Free Agent options?
The main TrueHoop section from ESPN.com picked up our latest Statophile piece.

Lamb and Rivers are not good options. Rivers: 2nd lowest PER in draft class. Only 1.9 assists per 40 min. Ast to FGA ratio of 0.13!! Anthony Davis is higher. That's not a PG. That's one massive...
Not exactly.
This helps a bit: http://basketballvalue.com/player.php?year=2011-2012&id=812
You see he has a positive adjusted +/- rating. The On/off court defense differential is -2.72 (that's...

The price was taking on Luke Walton's terrible contract. No thanks. The Lakers will have a late 1st rounder remember.
Flynn is a terrible PG. Turnover prone and is shooting 29% this year. 29%. ...
Thank you Matt - mentioned this today: http://raptorsrepublic.com/2012/03/12/statophile-28-the-new-new-things/

Latest: Statophile 26 | “Oh My Jonas” and “In Defense of the Ninja”
You said it: "the BASKETBALL fan base". Largely not the "Raptor fan base".
Several Raptors fans booed Lin. Chances are there were 8,000 "fans" that attended their one and only "Raptor" game of...
Great timing. Someone just emailed me on something similar. Look for it Thursday.
Cheers, Tom
New post here: Statophile 25 | Potentially Paint Problems, DeRozan Under Duress, Lovin’ Lin
It's true - I've been looking at a lot of data for Bargnani and DeRozan, for example, on this very topic.
Read it quickly, one obvious event that skews the data is fast break points (early in the...
Not enough data yet. However.... I really like him at the 3, playing "like" a 4. Why can this work? It can with Bargnani (yes, who's now injured) as Andrea has some "3" in him on offense, regardless...
The team is a better rebounding club with him off.
Sure: see here

How much to the Raptors miss Bargnani? Should Forbes play more minutes? Is DeRozan driving to the basket enough?...
We touched on some of your questions today:
Statophile 22 | Weak Wings, Andrea the All Star and Punishment in the Paint
I'll to this for Thursday as we'll have a few more games under his belt.
Will add this as well Thursday.
Likely impossible to determine given how many factors can contribute to improved...
I'll attempt this, but it will be difficult - especially after only 7 games. Remind me again after 20 or so. (E.g. a lineup like Carter - Barbosa - Johnson - Davis - Bargnani has only played 6...
So far this year? Andrea Bargnani (though I caution the data is "noisy" with only 6 games played).
Over last 2 years? Amir Johnson
Toronto leads the league (as of Jan 6th) with 68.42% FG...
