So the 2nd day of the seminar I participated in was really good. I didn't have much time to play with the graphics but still I managed to make this -
Remarks :
1. I used only the stats in which*Jazz*players were ranked amongst top 30 in the NBA (the green circles indicate NBA rankings as of October 25th, after last game of the preseason was played).
2. Data was taken from: NBA. COM, REAL-GM, FOX SPORTS, CBS SPORTS. (surprisingly, there were some minor inconsistencies between the sites).
3. I used the stats I thought were most interesting. Didn't had the time to run through all the endless possibilities.
4. As much as I hoped for, I didn't find any significant stat in which Enes was top 30. Bummer.
5. All research and graphics were made with a 5inch screen smartphone.
All in all, the "map" looks good. In some cases very good. The numbers confirm what the eyes saw, which is confident, strong performance from our key players. And the cool thing is that it's great numbers even in comparison to the rest of the league.
"It's only preseason", many might say, and to them I say - correct. It's preseason. But it is a highly successful one. And even though it might look different in the regular season, you can't take away this basic simple fact - the Jazz had an awesome preseason. An exceptional one. And as the infographics show - our leading players had an exceptional preseason too.
Now we need to be patient and see if the youth movement can continue to show us those trends in regular season. I think there are many reasons to believe they will.
