Among the statistical gems in here is how JaVale ended up being the most effective player on the Wizards in terms of offensive efficiency... that's an interesting stat.

At SG

We have a choice between the worst playmaker, Nick Young.

Leading the every-man-for-himself trend was Young, who, for each of the last two seasons, has had the lowest assist ratio among all guards and small forwards that played at least 750 minutes.

Or the worst at playing off the ball, Jordan Crawford.
Crawford had a higher assist ratio than Young (15.9), but only 28 percent of his own field goals were assisted on, a rate which ranked 171st of 181 players who attempted at least 500 shots last season, and dead last among non-point guards.

Very interesting

A lot of fun stuff in this link. Thanks for posting. (Haven’t visited nba.com for months!)

You bet!

From the District of Columbia, home of the hyperbolic paraboloid transitional floating zone defense.

This is all interesting

Our best lineup had Wall & Crawford on the court, without a significant defensive drop.

This is extremely significant, no matter what way you try and spin it. The good part is I am actually looking forward to watching him improve this, this season. Because… can it get any worse?

I'm a Wizards fan. We've been trying to tell you about Lebron for years. Hated the man before it was cool.

Where did you get that (I don't see that) - "our best lineup had Wall & Crawford on the court"

Out of those 10 most-used lineups, highest Net Rtg came from Hinrich, Young, Thornton, Blatche, McGee.
Biggest +/- from Wall, Young, Lewis, Blatche, McGee with a +30.

I guess I left that one out since 40% of those guys aren’t on the team.

Not sure this is really about Young vs Crawford

Nick’s minutes came with the crappy Dray. Jordan’s minutes came with the good Dray (or with kickin-ass Grown Ass Man).
