Oops. Maybe we can turn this mistake thread (thought I was helping out) into a discussion of my latest theory: that Grant Williams plays way better when Derek Lively is on the court, or at least in the lineup, than when he isn’t. Next I’ll go see if I can find wherever you all get your 2 and 3 player lineup stats to see if they support my guess.

The data does indeed support that theory.  Makes sense with DJJ out anyways.

Yeah but I’m unimpressed. Every Mav appears to be better with Lively. Seems like everybody sucks with centers not named Dereck or Dwight. Even when the center isn’t really a center, like Williams. Interestingly, not everyone sucks with Dwight. But Williams does.
