No Omer Asik bitch thread?


Have you not seen his stone hands? Surely he has at least twice as many turnovers as comparable centers.

Through the magic of camera tracking we can easily find out how many times per game a player touches the ball LINK Divide the Turnovers per game by the Touches per game and you get a percentage of how often they turn the ball over per touch. I came up with a list of comparable centers, who we could replace Asik with or who some of us wish Asik was, and the only one with a better Turnover per Touch percent is Splitter.

Not particularly surprising because his drops aren't always credited as turnovers and his touches are really just holding the ball until somebody gets it. Obviously, somebody like Gasol who's trying to get himself and teammates in position for easy shots will turn it over more than somebody just holding the ball while his teammates run to position to start the offense.

And I'm the biggest Asik fan there is. His defense is incredibly valuable and his offensive woes are easily minimized by just accepting his limitations.

Great work here. You the man.

Side note, Gasol's numbers in the chart are insane. He is such a good player.
