I do wonder how advanced stats have shaped the game currently. The players obviously know the stats exist and are measured by them. Have they started to cater their games to optimising their grades and has this been at the sacrifice of other parts of their games that might make the team better?

Take Anthony Davis. By any statistical measure, he is a top player in the NBA and puts up historical levels of production. But had he shaped his game that way to maximize how he is graded? Are other players doing similar things?

For Davis, statistically he is certainly one of the best players in the league. But there is more to winning than a box score. Intangibles. Davis has always lacked leadership. Look at lebron. He really hasn’t fallen off much at all physically, but his impact in the locker room plays a big hand in his lack of team success.
