Message: [QUOTE="MCC, post: 4525002, member: 145"] These are from Evan Miyakawa's Bayesian analytics page, correct? IIRC there was a stark delineation in both Efficiency Margin and +/- between the 'J4M' lineup and everyone else. Further the 30d delta in BPR shows Brown's trending up strongly as he's gotten more minutes, while Williams and Bell show the most precipitous drop offs. This latter observation suggests Brown's productivity wasn't a function of playing against weaker, second teams and is 'reproducible' against stronger lineups and in extended minutes. While Bayesian stats shouldn't supplant the eye test, running the numbers against such a deep distribution and adjusting for strength of opposition yields some robust indicators that forward thinking basketball minds shouldn't ignore IMO.
