Beyond the joy in having a Jazz player leading the NBA in anything, I think it says a lot about the character of a player.

It's a killer stat. Hayward sometimes looked like his heart would pop out, trying so hard. Now that Trey is back, he looks more comfortable in his role.

So.. Hayward and Parks lead the ENTIRE league???


I see a trend.

Holy hell!!!!! They keep track of miles traveled in games! How the hell do they do that! And what the hell! What made you think to look that up?

I truly believe the only reaso. gordon's shot was struggling was because of his legs. He had that bruised right knee, and shin splints for those games that he was struggling, and if he is running more thanevery other player intheleague, having his legs toshoot is/was too much. I am glad Trey is learning the ropes and can help to alleviate some of the burden.

He runs a lot it seems, that is what I got out of that stat.

My legs were killing me this morning at pickup ball and I was missing every dammed shot I tried... so it must be true about Gordon.

I actually think this is a bad stat for the Jazz.
It's not efficient to run so much to get our mediocre of an offense going. Not to mention that all this running is probably why his legs arent underneath him when he shoots, especially at the 4th quarter.

Also with 699 minutes played. Jazz have played more games than most.

the new stats on NBA.com are awesome. My only criticism is that they report players average speed in mph to one decimal place. The game is a game of inches and fractions of seconds so mph reveals absolutely nothing.

In other news my sarcastic quip for the thread:

Hayward leads the entire NBA in..... REGRET.
Should've signed that contract, pushed for a trade afterwards.

Sarcastic quip #2: Finally Hayward bested Paul George and Chandler Parsons at something.

Makes sense... I guess.

I wonder how far behind the rest of the team is compared to Hayward.

kkk;

it's the stat of busting ***. Important stuff. Or was it a racialistic joke like fish said?

 

[Chargers Jazz Angels]

hard to believe he was once mormon

Also, we can always see those two wingmen stealing the ball or sprinting to score after a steal of their teammates. I bet this has major effect on that statline.

If Kanter heals and keeps running Malone style, he will compete for that spot.

Thank you Loggrad

What made you think to look that up?

Because he can. Great job karpasov. We Americans sometimes don't keep up on our own innovations. Stats can lie like a dog though, as franklin pointed out the Jazz are about top of the league in games played. In this case just slightly. Haywards per/48 number is 3.4 While Parsons, Batum, Rubio and Henderson all average 3.5 miles/48 minutes.

You are very insightful.
