A couple of things from the Locked on Mavs podcast (Omahen, I'm not even reading your stuff anymore...I'm moving on..do whatever you want)
1) For post players that get 4 or more postups a game, KP will either assist or score himself almost 70% of the time. That's a higher efficiency than Jokic, Embiid, AD -- blew my mind. He's 3rd in the league in that stat category.
2) Luka in the post is one of the most productive sets for the Mavs. 3rd in the league with folks who have had at least 90 possessions in the post. 1.14 ppp in the post.
3) KP for catch and shoot 3s is 3rd from last in the NBA for players with 5 or more attempts (I think it was 5) at 36.5%. Here is Carlisle's drag a defender out to the 3 point line strategy.
4) The Mavs as a whole are 25th in unguarded 3s at 37%. League average is 40% and for reference, Clipps are shooting 49% on unguarded shots. Kirk from MMB has been harping on how the Mavs can't shoot, and honestly, that tends to back that up.
Of course, the defense (for all the trades to fix the defense) is same or WORSE than last year.
They are 29th in guarding the pick and roll.
They are 29th in forcing turnovers.
Food for thought.
