Carmelo Anthony's On-court/Off-court stats

This post is purely about stats. It's not about my personal opinion, or what I think everybody else's personal opinion is. You guys probably already know my opinion about Melo's injury from my comments. However, since I see a lot of comments regarding Melo's on-court impact, I decided to head over to 82games.com and see exactly what the splits are. Since I was there already, I'll add in some other related stats too.

 

Here's the table, directly copied form 82games.com:

The part we've mainly concerned about is the top part. The Nuggets are 4.8 points per possession better offensively when Melo is on the court, but also 1.5 points per possession worse defensively. The latter can be contributed to the fact that he usually plays against the opposing team's starters, which generally generates more offense for the other team. Do a bit of math, and that comes out to being 3.3 points per possession better when on the court as opposed to being off the court. Only Nene and Birdman have a better points per possession difference (by the way, Birdman's is a whopping +11.6 points per possession better. I might do a post about that). Take whatever you want out of these stats.

Some other Melo tidbits from 82games: Melo's foul-drawing rate of 15.5% is very average, despite the fact that his FTA per game is one of the top ones in the league. This is probably attributed to his very high usage rate, which I have no problem with since he's the best player on the team. Melo's Win% is 70.3%, which is slightly better than the team's record of 34-16 (68% of the games played were won). Now, I have no clue what Win% is, but I'm assuming that it would be the team's winning percentage if the player played all 48 minutes. Melo's eFG% decreases by 10% on jumpers and nearly 20% on "close shots" during clutch time. However, his per-48 minutes scoring average is at 42.4, and I have always thought that Melo is one of the league's best performers in the clutch. Sometimes, stats are really weird.

to know what the assist ratio is with n without

by RPN on Feb 6, 2010 8:23 PM MST reply actions  

Assisted field goals is about the same

He has an assist rating of 7.4, which ranks ahead of everybody except our three point guards. The difference, at least from what I’ve seen, is that when Melo plays the offense goes through him a lot. He’s not as good of a passer as, say, Alex English was, but he can make that pass. In case you’re curious, LeBron has a rating of 13.0, Durant has one of 3.0, Nowitzki has one of 2.8, Wade has one of 9.4, and Kobe has one of 8.3.

what kind of shoes is Melo wearing?

by Agaliarept on Feb 7, 2010 4:28 PM MST reply actions  

He should hook up Afflalo with some of them

Afflalo wears Adidas Superstars. When you’re in the NBA….you can do better than that, right?

STIFF LIST (as of 2/7 by Andrew Feinstein)

1. THE NUGGETS AT HOME
How is it possible that a Nuggets team with this much talent can be 7-5 at home?! Things have gotten so bad that fans are clamoring for J.R. Smith to return.

2. CARMELO ANTHONY
Kobe Bryant plays through any and all ailments. Melo uses any and ailments as an excuse not to play.

3. KEVIN LOVE
Just when the T'Wolves are looking better, Love stomps on Luis Scola and lands himself a two-game suspension.

4. CHARLOTTE BOBCATS
The 'Cats have lost 11 straight and are now 3-21 ... in the Eastern Conference! This is what happens when you let an underwear salesman with a Hitler mustache run your team.

5. MIKE BROWN
Dr. Bunsen Honeydew (Google it!) got himself a one-game suspension for making contact with a referee.
