Hollinger espn insider scouting report :

Minuscule basketball IQ. Blocks shots but takes bad gambles and goaltends often.*

Defensively, the Nuggets developed him more in two months than the Wizards did in four years, but he still has a ton of work left. McGee is a potentially dominant shot-blocker but has no filter -- he tries to block everything, even if he's 20 feet away or the ball is obviously on its way down. He also has a high center of gravity and struggles to keep opponents out of deep post position. As a result opposing centers blistered him in both stops, registering a 21.2 PER in Denver and a 21.8 mark in Washington, according to 82games.com


Additionally, McGee's rebounding stats are a lie: For a good rebounder, he has a massively negative impact on his team's overall rebound rate. Denver rebounded just 68.4 percent of opponent misses with him on the court, compared to 72.4 percent with him off it; similarly, Washington's rate dipped by 5.4 percent with McGee on the floor. That's a pretty massive difference considering 6.9 percentage points separated first from worst last season. Again, his mental game is the cause: McGee doesn't block his man out and often leaves the board exposed to go for a block he has little chance of getting.*

PER is the worst stat known to man. Hollinger is an idiot. Goaltends a lot? Seriously, that's what he dogs him on? That happens what?...maybe once every 10 games? Let's talk about something that actually factors into winning and losing.

If Koufos is on the court with Faried as his 4, and McGee has Chandler as his 4, this would explain why the team rebound % would drop. Since Koufos and Faried were the starters, I'm almost certain they played more minutes together. Nice stat though.

I don't worship a dude with a blog. I agree with the science behind a regression model developed by a Phd Economist. It measures the relationship between independent variables like "assists", "turnovers", etc. and the dependent variable "wins".

Hollinger wouldn't be the first idiot to get a job as a talking head, right? Do you agree that "goaltends too much" would be one of your top concerns when evaluating a player? Tell me if you think this sounds legit?...

If you shoot 1/3 your PER just went up. Everybody knows if you shoot 30 for 90 you are losing...but your PER would still go up. PER has a very, very weak relationship with winning. PER is the worst stat. Hollinger is not a statistician. He probably has no understanding of basic statistical principles.

PER leaves a lot to be desired. Mr. Hollinger is both smarter than you're giving him credit for, and smarter than you. Carry on with the drivel though.

But aren't you a guy on a message board who thinks lionel Hollins is an idiot and you think really highly of a man on the radio?

Tony Allen played one minute of the fourth quarter of a game that we lead by double digits. And we lost. AGAIN.

I am not trying to pick on you but I think you are being unfair with huff. We are all folks on message boards with opinions.

Sounds like we all have our reasons for doubting the experts. BTW, Hollinger probably wouldn't agree with you on Tony Allen, but the Wins Produced model does, and so does that dude that runs the blog.

Try to pick on me all you want. You're tossing softballs in my wheelhouse discussing the grizzlies.

And I'm merely laughing at Hines thinking the "basic principles of statistics" is something difficult to grasp.

BTW, Hollinger doesn't make decisions based solely on PER. He's talked at length about how it is far from perfect and that he's tinkered with/and evolved from the basic model available on espn. However PER has made him millions of dollars. I'd probably pimp it out a little bit too.

When we finally gave up the lead and need a steal, who is gonna be the one who steals it? Most times, TA or MC. Both need to be in. Not sure when TA's one minute was, but he certainly needed to be in at that time.

20 minutes and 31 seconds for Mr. Allen.

Hollinger also acquired your boy Ed Davis, Hines. He also no doubt screams at the television while DA soaks up minutes.

I would think/hope that Huffhines believes Bron is the MVP...
