Giannis (First rebuild)

[Nino Brown]

Noticed all of the top players got rebuilds besides him. Just for reference he’s probably leading the mvp race, though if I had a vote I’d give it to Harden at this very moment. One could argue Giannis is also the top candidate for DPOY. He’s been incredible. Anyways

Win Shares Per 48 min: 1st
Box Plus/Minus: 2nd
Offensive Box Plus/Minus: 10th
Defensive Box Plus/Minus: 1st
VORP: 2nd

Career Highs: FG%, eFG%, Rebounds,

Couple things I notice in the sim is his rebounds and assists on a per game basis are pretty tame so I’d argue he deserves the Ps attribute, and especially the Rebounding attribute. He’s top 7 in the league irl rebounding stats(12.7) a game, that’s better than the likes of Steven Adams, Capela, Gobert, Towns, etc... He’s also top 20 in overall assists on the year.

Never got a chance to say thank you, but I must ask, why is his inside rating so low(20)? About 90 percent of his buckets come from layups and or dunks, and This is something that would affect sim usage and even with me giving Giannis 40 minutes a game, he still seems a little too passive for my liking as far as shot attempts go. If we use Stuff’s hard work for reference docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xJcazc_wKeApPujm1t4ZNul5vVgewE6Zfb8fj2yM4JM/edit?usp=drivesdk he only averages 12 shots per game, while irl Giannis averages about 17-18 attempts and he’s pretty much been the most dominant inside scorer/dunker since Shaq. Sorry for the incovience, I’m using mobile right now so I don’t have access to the formula spreadsheets.

There is separate inside scoring and dunks/layups rating. And his dunk/layup rating is 95 which is the highest in the league.

I’m more so asking in regards to how it affects his usage. Also what qualifies as ‘inside’ scoring. Tryna learn as much as possible 😅.

[billy]

we use basketball references 3-10 foot for inside scoring and 0-3 for dunking/layups

giannis takes 59%(!!!) of his shots from 0-3 and makes 78%(!!!) of them good for the best dunking score in the league, especialy when compared with his other ratings that go into shooting at rim

as far as shooting low post giannis takes 19% of his shots from 3-10 and makes 33% of them, which sucks

[billy]

As far as the usage goes, you can't increase usage without making them better in other areas of the game that they shouldn't be. So your usage is just gonna be what it's gonna be with regards to your team construction and position/minutes distribution. Playing giannis at point guard and increasing his minutes will give him more shots, but frankly the cavs have much better players around giannis and so when it says "the cavs took a shot" its less likely to assign that shot to giannis than the IRL bucks would be.

Gotcha Thanks Billy!
