Explain it to me without me having to click a link.
I will then decide whether its worth it clicking a link.

Catch and Shoot FG% and Pull Up Shot FG% will be useful for finding guys that fit needs.

OK went and took a look.
I like the chart from NBA.
The analytics article I didn't read it all, but the NBA has become a huge game of analytics.

Ha.
Fair enough. The link is to a Lowe article on Grantland last year.
Basically the cameras track the movement of every player on the floor. In Lowe's article he shows how the Raptors use it to create "ghosts" who act as the 10 players should on any given play and then put the actual players over the "ghosts" to see how the players stacked up.
Like I said, dorky, but interesting

The rebounding numbers look fascinating

Wow. I didn't even notice the tabs at the top to change to all the different categories.

Go to the rebounding section, filter it by Contested REB Percentage and it shows how sick AD was on the boards in the first game. By a long shot the most rebounds with that high of a Contested REB Percentage. That's awesome.

Stiemsma had 7 Rebound Chances and got 71.4% of Rebounds per Chance. He also had a 60% Contested Rebound Percentage. On the surface those numbers look pretty good, but he failed the eye test miserably so I'm guessing he was terrible about getting into position to rebound. If they come his way he's getting them, if not, oh well.

Defensive Impact also intrigues me. Not sure how it's set up, but the potential is there for a very useful tool in figuring out who understands schemes/rotations, who overhelps, etc.

I thought Steimsma was a 4th or 5th type big Wednesday. It was my first time seeing him, so my expectations were very low based on opinion here, there, and everywhere.
He's not good and clearly Monty thought he was garbage because he picked Thomas over him, but I didnt see the walking grease fire.

That was his preseason. Maybe, he was just going out to get a sweat and not hurt himself, but you'd expect more effort from a guy who was in the running for a starting gig.
The nail was hit with the rebounding outside his area comment. He won't sweep in like AD or AFA to snag a rebound, it will have to be in his immediate area.

So he is a smaller, uglier Aaron Gray?

Without any offense. Not an adequate substitute.

At least Aaron Gray could pass.

So corndeaux, I'm having a beer and thinking about my life and Pelicans hoops. I agree that Monty needs to go all in on this unorthodox roster . U optimistic at this point?

Just perusing some of these very early numbers. I found some interesting things. Again, this is way too small of a sample size so things can change rather quickly.
Morrow, Gordon, and Davis are among the top 25 in the league in PTS per Touch. Davis is 11th in PTS per Half Court Touch. His 57 touches per game is bested only by Cousins (58) and the next closest guy is at 48 touches per game.
Imagine if Davis converted his shots at the rim around the 65% he was last year.
Steimsma is a mess on offense, but Opponents are only shooting 46.2% on 4.3 Rim Attempts per Game (RAG). For comparison, Dwight Howard is at 56.8% on 9.3 RAG (ipso facto, forget sample size, Steimsma is a better rim defender than Dwight. Suck it, Rockets) and Robin Lopez is at 51.7% on 9.7 RAG.
The RAG are very low right now for the Pelicans (4th lowest in the league compared to 4th highest last season). I wonder what the numbers looked like last year and if there is a decrease due to better perimeter defense, better scheme, or just sample size fluke.

I am. But it's never been playoffs or bust for me this season. I expect a pretty slow start and then a strong finish starting around the All-Star break. I'd be cool with 40 wins, barring injuries. It's tough to jump up double digits in wins, especially in the West and the Southwest division in particular.
The big worry I had was the defense and, so far, it has been much improved. The offense will take time to gel and they need Anderson back. But I like what I've seen so far. Clearly still room for improvement from the players and Monty, but nothing to lose our minds over….yet.
The interesting thing is that Davis looks like a superstar right now. That might speed up the timetable on potential moves for Demps.

I think it slows it down simply because Davis will carry the team when it might otherwise have faltered and felt pressure to shake things up. Tanking teams will be sellers at the deadline though, so Demps might feel more comfortable locking up the cap with Davis playing like a SuperStar. I could see something like Rivers/Aminu/Stiemsma for Jeff Green. Add a center like Okafor to that in the offseason and you have a team of solid role players that will go as far as AD will lead them.
