Hollinger's 2010-11 Raptors Player Projections

[Trife76]

I will say this Hollinger has found his niche is projected stats even if I find them to be mostly a waste of time others don't- to each their own. I prefer real game time stats.

there are so many holes in his formula for that PER crap,it doesnt account for alot of things on the floor that you cant quantify....

PER is a meaningless irrelevant made up stat....in 2010 people should not be taking John Hollingers opinion seriously...

[Katman]

If Hollinger is going to be the ESPN Stats Guy and make projections there should be a disclaimer on the degree of confidence (or accuracy from previous years) in his numbers. Like +/- 1.2 PER. He was off on Bargs and DeRozan last year, if I recall correctly they both had +2 higher PER then Hollinger's season projections.

I hate guys that claim themselves to be experts and yet don't self evaluate themselves at the end of the season to report on how they did. They never make evaluation mistakes, the player always makes an unexpected leap, or who would have known ...

His stuff is usually BS, I'd prefer opinions from someone who actually watches the games.

[JoePanini]

Yeah, I was reading the article, and I was shocked. Barbosa would have a higher PER than Bargs? And Bargs would have 18 and 6 per40? He has 17 and 6 in 34 last year, why would he get worse?

[YKR23]

these numbers are obviously skewed, someone do the math and change these numbers to per playing time minutes instead of per 40 minutes

[pistol pete]

That's odd, based on Bargnanis number's last year, his PER40 rebounding would be 7.08. So Hollinger is saying that Bargnani will actually become a worse rebounder. Don't think that's possible.

PER40 18.5 points is also a bit low, I think

[ShinobiOne]

Had to laugh at the comment about Kleiza's left hand..."might as well have a hook at the end"!! bahahahhaha

[CalibreMC]

What does DERP stand for?

[OTFP]

Per 40 minutes DERP

DERP ME
HA HA HA
I'm an idiot.
Let's move on.

[Hassan]

one the biggest haters in sports .

[black angus]

can't wait for our top 5 pick in 2011

[Raptorsss]

Guys remember this Per 40 minutes. None of these players play 40 minutes, but if they did this is what they'd average.

[Frankthetank]

I would have to disagree with almost everyone of Hollinger predictions. Jarret jack averaging 16.5 points a game and calderon averaging 17 points a game. If Hollinger didn't have a PHD in statistics then I would say Johnny doesn't now crap.

Pretty impressive job by Hollinger, I would like to see ANYBODY on Raps Republic go through every player in the league and critique them. Of course there's going to be minor glitches like Bargs rebounds going down, but for the most part he's right about each of these guys traits.
