Interesting graph, offense and defense

Seems like we are middle of the pack on offense and defense, which is a little surprising for the defense and a bit disappointing for the offense.

 

This graph takes into account your opponents averages.  For example holding Seattle to 25 points, which is below their average, would be better than holding the Jets to 20 points, which would be above their average.

This is what I've tried to tell people on this board for weeks now as they continue to harp on how bad Phil Snow might or might not be.  The bottom line is that our defense is "average".  Yea, we give up a lot of yards, but relatively few points.  For a defense with as little talent as we have, to be "average" in terms of allowing points is frankly outstanding.  Phil Snow can't get out there and, you know, tackle for them.  I'm looking at your Tre Boston, Donte Jackson and Tahir Whitehead.  Look, I don't *KNOW* if Snow is any good or not - we can't tell with the talent level we provided him to work with.  In a couple years, if our talent level improves and our defense doesn't, that's on Snow.

Honestly, I agree that our offense has been disappointing.  It's (unfortunately) the same as our defense.  We move the ball but fail to score enough points.  Frankly, our offense is even worse than it appears.  We've been getting bailed out by our special teams converting fourth down on fake punts and even going to four downs on offense.  It just shouldn't come to that.

This graph takes opponents into account which is great, because our schedule has been (and will continue to be) a tough one.

    • I could be waaaaaaay off about Kon. I do fault myself into, to borrow a NFL phrase heavily "RAS" nerd on players, too much. There are PLENTY of athletic freak shows that are playing overseas(or Amazon delivery) cause they never figured out NBA ball. I can easily miss seeing the talent. Plus did he only have 2 dunks on the season??(is that for real??) I didn't watch over a few hours of duke, but not one point did I think "That Kon guy is a top 4 pick in the upcoming draft". IMO I still foresee Ball bringing the ball up, doing his weak isolation game and never even looking for Kon. That's his best trait according to everyone, shooting right? I do not see ball, bridges, miller or even williams making the extra pass to Kon for him to shoot a 3.  Then defense-wise, Im not ready to type the amount of questions I foresee in his ability for guarding NBA SGs or bench SFs for that matter. Not that NBA players care to defend, but still..... I just feel he's a bad fit for the current hornets, trades are taking place tho... Liam to me is a decent comp for Kon and he fell some, but was a 29 overall pick. Still around 13-21 was the good solid range for Liam and I thought the same for Kon. This is just a classic case of I need to see it. It add to this, Kon is like garlic. Ball is like sugar and Miller is like flour. Mix it together and chef Lee is not going to get me to eat that dish..... Honestly I don't know why Im this vocal about Kon. In past years I would be patience and not post and see what the kid has. The other side, insert classic white boy terms here- _____, ______, _______< etc >. Hornets do desperately need them. His crafty back door cuts, his willingness to stay a extra 2 hours to refine lees plays, keep playing with bruised limbs. I heard from many reports he's mentally tough and hornets by all gods need that. God they are such pussys.  I hope Im wrong and if so, I will give Kon his just props.
