I used to respect John Hollinger. Dude has access to all the data and advanced stats in the world and is the worst talent evaluator in NBA media.

That article was a bizarre, contradicting mix of predictions of what will happen and personal opinions of what he thought should happen. With occasional weight given to successful teams while openly saying that shouldn’t matter at all in his snarky little preamble. I don’t really think writing is his thing. Unfortunately, the Athletic can’t afford editors to fix his shitty copy, so here we are.

Kristaps per game stats: 19/7/2
Paolo per game stats: 23/7/5

It makes me happy to think John Hollinger spent hours and hours writing this only to be wrong and we all can spend less than a minute crafting a comment to poop on him.
Man’s even doubling down on it lol. And also saying that KAT is a stunner too. The level of stupidity is almost funny

This man is so stupid that his hair ran away from his brain.

It’s not surprising quote when considered the source, Hollinger is so into advanced analytics and they don’t favour Paolo. My issue with the analytics in general is they don’t provide any context, Paolo’s dropped considerably when the team injury list was 5 deep and he was basically our only source of shot creation.

Reminds me of the Kessler analytics last year for ROY. Did he play his specifically limited role better than Paolo and affect the game more? Sure. How’s that working out now?

The Athletic has continually understated the Orlando Magic since the Preseason.
Another Athletic writer said before tje season started the team wouldn’t win as many games as the Toronto Raptors.
None of these national guys actually watches the Magic.
