TERMS:
TS%: True Shooting percentage. It is like FG%, but takes into account the value of 3 pointers and free throws.

ORTG: Offensive rating. Estimates how many points an individual player produces per 100 possessions. A higher number is better.

DRTG: Defensive rating. The expected amount of points that an individual player will allow on defense over 100 possessions. A lower number is better. **** Can be heavily influenced by other teammates on the court.


Top Left: Shooting Efficiency (TS> 60% is good, 3P > 35~ is good)
- Of the guys getting big minutes Robertson, Barnett, and Puryear have been our most impressive shooters.
-Jontay has regressed a bit from the 3 point line, though still sporting a solid TS%, helped by his FT%
-I think Geist's high shooting percentages warrant him playing more at the 2 spot.
- Phillips seems to miss everything or swish. Can't explain him.

Top Right: Free Throws
- The whole team has been good from the free throw line. Especially our "Big 4" of Barnett, Kash, Puryear, and Porter.
- Like to see Jontay be more aggressive and draw more fouls as he has capitalized on most of his opportunities at the line so far.
- Cullen hasn't hit a free throw?

Bottom Left: Fouls and Turnovers Created( Blk + Stl)
- Jontay far and away our best turnover creator. He is a block machine with those long arms.
-Tilmon obviously our leader in fouls still after that rough start. Hopefully he can get near or below 3 a game as the season progresses.
- I thought Harris would have more steals so far. But that could just be from limited minutes.
- Phillips with the worst number of fouls compared to turnovers created. He seems like a high energy defender, but he mostly just fouls instead of creating turnovers.

Bottom Right: Broad Offensive and Defensive look
-Jordan Barnett has been incredible offensively. Also posting a DRtg below 100. Might be our best 2-way player so far. Eye test wise he never seems to get burned on D, while contributing heavily on offense.
- Jontay Porter has been just as incredible defensively. He is a turnover machine with his length.
- Harris been really good defensively, not so much offensively.
- He drives me crazy sometimes, but statistically Geist has been pretty good. 2nd best ORTG and 4th best DRTG.
- Hoping Kassius or Puryear can kick it up another notch on offense. IMO this comes down to consistency for both.
