The Victors

as a data guy I'm sure you're well aware of the biases in box score stats for hoops, but you're crumbs' backpack*

Thread:

• There is no good NBA comp for Angel Reese. A player of her skillset would never get playing time. The comp is like maybe Big Baby? And he was out of the NBA within a few years - By Daytripper August 18, 2026 at 09:22:31 PM
  • Mitchell Robinson?* - By Poster P August 18, 2026 at 10:48:52 PM
    • Wait, I should learn to read before I post. Sounds like she doesn’t know her limitations like Mitch does* - By Poster P August 18, 2026 at 10:49:48 PM
  • I'm not a Angel Reese fan. That written, she is apparently pretty good on the defensive end; Atlanta Dream is 14 pts better defensively w/her in the lineup(?)* - By kccambo August 18, 2026 at 10:34:04 PM
  • Pretty good advance stats (m) - By crumbs August 18, 2026 at 09:53:10 PM
    • These stats seem political. (nm) - By suede August 18, 2026 at 10:00:20 PM

        • if only you knew… (nm) - By suede August 18, 2026 at 10:07:24 PM
    • Sure, but she doesn't effect winning. She was the best player on an awful Chicago team her first two years and now she's the 3rd or 4th best player on the Dream, who will finish with a worse regular season record than last year - By Daytripper August 18, 2026 at 10:00:13 PM
      • The fact her coach doesn’t have the balls to make her stop shooting 3s is pathetic, she shoots at 14%. That is humiliating.* - By MasterBates August 18, 2026 at 10:04:20 PM
    • Now do offense.* - By MasterBates August 18, 2026 at 09:56:43 PM
  • Mark Eaton or Chris Dudley.* - By MasterBates August 18, 2026 at 09:47:09 PM
  • How far off is late-stage Rodman. When his D declined, still getting tons of boards, still couldn't shoot, etc.* - By ftb August 18, 2026 at 09:28:28 PM
    • Rodman wasn’t trying to jack up threes and be a black hole in the paint. - By cp August 18, 2026 at 09:37:45 PM
    • Yea, that's a good one too. Reese is a mediocre defender at best for her position. Late stage Rodman, except like if they let him run PG at times and shoot threes* - By Daytripper August 18, 2026 at 09:31:55 PM
      • Old man Kevon Looney, except Loons knows his place on offense (don't try any, basically).* - By jjwalker August 18, 2026 at 09:44:43 PM
  • It’s like if teams ran offense through Dennis Rodman* - By ThWard August 18, 2026 at 09:27:37 PM
    • Basketball genius here.* - By ftb August 18, 2026 at 09:28:52 PM
      • Takes one to know one situation on our hands* - By ThWard August 18, 2026 at 11:35:40 PM
  • She made the World Championship team * - By BBA August 18, 2026 at 09:24:02 PM
    • That's another part of it. Men's sports has politics sure, but women's basketball is politics first seemingly* - By Daytripper August 18, 2026 at 09:24:37 PM
      • I don’t watch WNBA. I’m sure her fame is a factor but I think her skill set can be valuable in women’s game. Just get boards and possessions. * - By BBA August 18, 2026 at 09:28:42 PM
        • She throws those possesions away with turnovers and misses. 30% of her boards any given night are "mebounds". In general defensive boards aren't that valuable individually in hoops. It's a team thing but she hunts them like prime Westbrook or Carlos Boozer* - By Daytripper August 18, 2026 at 09:33:16 PM
          • Conriching: I'd say she's a below average starter. In Chicago I thought Cardoso was better, easily* - By Daytripper August 18, 2026 at 09:35:21 PM
