Using per 36 makes very little sense across different seasons, would be better to use per 100 possessions like I did.

But that also might be because he was a day one starter so you have more of a responsibility to avoid fouls and try to stay on the floor. Poeltl was only getting 11mpg, so for those minutes you play full throttle and if you foul, you foul because you're coming out anyway.
I think Poeltl has way more potential on the defensive end of the floor. Really think we could use them like Adams and Kanter but nobody wants to do it.
Kanter had to come off the bench because he is one of the worst defensive big men in the league. Like, orders of magnitude worse than JV. Couldn't stay on the floor against top opposition.

Let's see, using per 100 numbers instead:
Oh, did JV struggle with fouls his first year? Yeah, he had a very high 6.7 PF per 100 possessions. That's too much. He did improve rather dramatically in his second year, reducing his PF rate by 15% (OMG it's exactly the same), down to 5.7 PF/100. He's sat around that point ever since (edged slightly lower over time, but not much). If Poeltl was to reduce his foul rate by a similar 15% (no guarantee of that), he'd be all the way down at... 7.7 PF/100.
The two are not comparable. JV was never, ever, a foul machine like Poeltl was last year.
Wow, I'm really glad I used per 100 stats instead. Completely changes the picture there.

DanH wrote: View PostYeah, it was a simultaneous post, your post wasn't up when I started typing mine, and you didn't present all the information I did. So why again would per 100 be better than per 36?
Same reason why we use oRTG and dRTG instead of points per game scored for and against. Per 100 possessions instead of per 48 minutes.

DanH wrote: View PostWhether you agree with me or not has very little bearing on my stance. Same goes for Stackhouse fluffing one of his players on TV. Siakam has all the tools, and I can see what Stackhouse sees in him. Heck, a few years down the road I expect him to be a very solid, versatile defender; maybe as soon as next year if we give him some consistent run out there rather than jerking him around in and out of the starting unit and lineup, period. But last year, with all his gifts, he had no idea where he should be on the floor. His help was erratic, often either late or way too early or in entirely the wrong place. With time that will improve. I just don't like giving young learning players their reps against starting quality opposition - we saw what happens when you do that just last season, with Pascal himself.
Oh, did JV struggle with fouls his first year? Yeah, he had a very high 4.6 PF per 36 minutes. That's too much. He did improve rather dramatically in his second year, reducing his PF rate by 15%, down to 3.9 PF/36. He's sat around that point ever since (edged slightly lower over time, but not much). If Poeltl was to reduce his foul rate by a similar 15% (no guarantee of that), he'd be all the way down at... 5.5 PF/36.

The Raptors have been a pretty consistent team in terms of pace, and the numbers came out exactly the same as I showed using per 100 versus per 36. I mean, if you wanted to say "don't use per 36, use per 100, because look at how different the story is when you do," your suggestion would be well taken. Instead you ignore the actual point being made and nitpick the stat used for no reason at all.
The one caveat is that you can't say for sure whether a guy would foul as often if he knew he was required to play starter minutes. But, by my recollection, Jakob commits a lot of blocking fouls / fouls on layup attempts, so it's not like they can just tell him not to reach in. We'll see how it plays out.

Period and point blank it's more accurate to use per 100 possessions.

Shaolin Fantastic wrote: View PostI agreed with the point, JV did have a much lower foul rate. I was just pointing out that per 100 poss was a better measure. And while the Raps did have the same rank in pace (24th) in both guy's rookie years, our pace was higher with about 4 more possessions per game this past year than 2012-13.

DanH wrote: View PostAnd I don't disagree with that on principle. I just found it odd that you'd level the criticism in a case where it made literally zero difference. When possible and not misleading, I use per-36 stats, as they are more intuitive for people to understand on the scale of a player's typical minutes played. No player ever hits 100 possessions in a game. We use that consistently for team based stats because most teams float around 100 possessions or so per game in terms of pace.
Btw I have a question. Hypothetically if we had 2Pat still would you be ok with starting 2Pat/Ibaka and moving JV to the bench then?

Although I think I'd come out against it in the end (I am really concerned about Ibaka holding up for a full season at C), at least it would be a well thought out idea with lots of evidence of it working (at least in a short term), with far fewer drawbacks than the alternatives being discussed now.
