Gobert's main improvement this year has been the overall level of activity, he moves a lot on O to set screens and this has helped made the offense more dynamic. When a player like Gobert has low offensive value as a scorer away from the rim, he has to be very active in setting screens and setting himself as a potential roll man from different angles to compensate ans keep the D off balance. He has been doing this very well.

Gobert has been assisted in shots in order by Hayward, Diaw and Exum the most this season. 2 years ago he received the most in order from Exum, Ingles and Hayward. Last year without Exum Gobert got a lot less assisted shots the only one that got him the ball more than 20 times was Hayward that year.

I think some of Gobert's struggles last year and to a lesser extent this year lately has been not having Exum around. I think he gets the ball to Gobert better than anyone else. Those nice alley oops and easy shots help get Gobert involved early on offense.

This "highlight" video of Exum's rookie year shows this. About two-thirds of the vid is him making threes, making a few drives (I think every drive he made all season is included), and scoring off backdoor cuts. The other third is nearly all passes to Rudy for dunks (with a few to Favors and Booker mixed in). It's interesting to watch because Rudy looks so awkward compared to this year's model. Exum also looks way quicker than this season.

It will be nice to get Hill back for many reasons but mostly that the ball is in Macks hand more than anyone elses right now.

Mack is leading our team with total time of possession of 148 min compared to our second highest Hayward 114 and Hood at 3rd with 78. On a per game basis Hill is #1 at 5.7, then Mack at 4.0 and Hayward at 3.8. Hill also leads us in average seconds per touch and number of dribbles per touch but a close second to him in both of those is Mack. Neto is third, Exum 3th and Hayward 5th in both of those categories.

Rudy leads our team in each of the following touches Elbow, Post and Paint. Rudy leads us with the most points per Post touch but Hood leads with the most points per paint touch and JJ leads with the most points per elbow touch.

Hayward leads the team in most points per touch followed by Hood.

Hill gets the most touches per game followed by Hayward then Rudy. I think that is a good order when we are fully healthy.
 
I just read an article on 538 about Kawhi and it mentioned him being one of the top pick and roll defenders. The stat showed he holds people to .8 points per possession. That number is the exact same as our Hayward. Although Gobert is probably a big help in getting that number. Just a cool stat that shows Hayward is one of the better perimeter defenders in this league.
 
Rudy BTW is second best in the NBA at Points per possession on defense defending the pick and roll at 0.7. Anthony Davis is #1 at .69
 
In isolation defense Burks is one of the worst in the NBA at 1.5, Ingles is our best at 0.76 and Gobert is not that far behind at 0.78.

Inlges is also our best isolation player with Points per possession at 1.2, then Gobert at 0.94 and Exum at 0.91. Although Exum gets more possessions than those two. Hayward and Hood both average 1.5 possessions and come in Hayward 0.82 and Hood at 0.80
 
Gobert is the 7th best defender in the NBA in Post ups holding players to 0.72 points per possession in 1.8 per game which is the 5th most possessions per game of any player. Oddly Davis is one of the most posted up players in the NBA.

No suprise but Favors is our best offensive post up player at 0.89 points per possession in post ups in about 2 per game. Surprised JJ isnt better but he gets 1 post up per game on average and gets 0.78 PPP. Although JJ almost never gets posted up he is holding player to 0.63 PPP but I think help defense and Gobert threat help that number combined with the fact that it is rare at only 1 every other game.

Technically Hood is our best post up guy at 1.08 PPP but at only 0.4 a game and only 3% of his offensive game. Where as it is 18% of Favors.

We could really use Favors for his offense and defense in the post.
 
Johnson, Hayward and Inlges are all really good at spot up shooting. They are at 1.15, 1.14 and 1.13 respectively at PPP which puts them in the top tier of the NBA. Hood and Hill are both 1.01 and Exum is our next best at 0.87.

CJ Miles is #1 in the NBA of qualified players at spot up shooting he is getting 1.34 PPP on 3.1 possessions.

Inlges is 10th in the NBA in EFG% at spot up shooting.
 
Coming off screens George Hill is 5th in the NBA at points per possession at 1.28. Hayward is 19th at 1.11. Although Hayward averages almost 2X as many per game with 2.2 to Hills 0.6.

Klay Thompson gets 6.6 a game which is 2 more per game than anyone in the NBA but only scores 1.01 PPP. Mills Conley and Walker lead the NBA in PPP coming off screens at 1.33, 1.32 and 1.31 respectively.
 
Gobert attempts the 4th most putbacks a game in the NBA and gets the 5th most points per game on putbacks. Ingles is the only player on our team to not get a point on a putback this season.
 
So far in the Playoffs Hayward is leading the NBA in distance traveled in a game at 8.2 miles. This is one reason he is worn down at the end of games. Mbah a Moute leads the clippers at 7.4. CP3 is at 6.8.

Our second player is Hill at 7.4 miles and not surprising but bad news is that Favors has run the third furthest on our team at 6.8 miles. That is way too many for an out of game shape and injured Favors to be running. No wonder he has no legs at the end of a game and is struggling to jump and shoot.

Hayward is also our fastest moving player on offense at an average of 4.57 mph. That means his he is going pretty hard on offense. The only player that is running that fast on offense that is getting starter level minutes is Westbrook, Conley and Kawhi but they are running less miles per game. Conley and Kawhi have ran 1.1 less miles.

Favors has played the 23rd most minutes(4th among centers) in the playoffs and Hayward has played the 4th most minutes.
 
Hayward is 8th in the NBA at defensive rebounding. He is tied for the 12th best rebounder in the playoffs so far and is #3 among non C/PF only behind Lebron and Giannis.

Favors(56.3) is defending shot attempts better percentage than DJ(62.5) so far in this series although both are not that good.
 
Time to bump this:

Most interesting stat to me so far is the scoring spread. Rubio, Ingles and Gobert are all averaging 14.7 PPG and Favors is just behind at 14.3. Hood is pretty close depsite not playing much in the 2 games he played in at 13 ppg.

My guess is Hood's scoring goes up to around 16-17 ppg. Gobert creeps up to 16 ppg. Rubio and Ingles might go down just slightly when Hood is back, but who knows.

I really like the scoring spread though. We have plenty of options to score and can feed the hot hand. This team is going to be hard to defend against when it is clicking. You have to pay equal attention to every starter.
 
The way too early to make assessments from but I will anyways:

We will see how this trend keeps going but so far our top 7 2 man lineups all include Udoh! He is crazy effective on the court right now and the team plays really well around him. Gobert is playing well but not as well as last season and especially not as well as he did the last couple months of the regular season. I think he will get back to that level though.

https://stats.nba.com/lineups/advan...0612762&GroupQuantity=2&sort=NET_RATING&dir=1

So far Favor's and Udoh are our best big man combo. So much for the "spacing" issue...

Favors and Gobert have played 61 minutes together and are +2.6 net rating.
Favors and Udoh have played 22 minutes together and are +54.0 net rating.
Gobert and Johnson have played 39 minutes together and are -38.8 net rating. Keep in mind JJ is a "stretch 4"

Ill have to keep an eye on this!
Favors and Gobert have always been a good combo when healthy though. Stats have shown they play very well together. Lets hope they both stay healthy so we can really see how they do. Especially now that we have a reliable back up center so Favor's can play his real and much much better position.

Gobert and Udoh have not played together yet. That could be interesting.

Also keep in mind Gobert plays against starters mainly and Udoh plays mainly against backups. That may make a difference.

Either way, I like what happens when our bench is in. Our bench is killing it so far.

Udoh has been playing some against starters as well, but either way it is encouraging. I also expect Gobert to get back to last years form and better, it will just take him some time to get in rhythm again. He gets better as the season goes on every year. I expect the starters to play better than the bench regardless of if they go against bench or starters. That isnt really an issue to me. He has been playing at an incredible high level defensively. The best thing is that he probably wont get that much attention from other teams because he is not really putting up stats at all. It is all non stat stuff that he is effecting the game with. He is averaging 2 points and 3 rebounds right now. Although I guess his 2.3 blocks per game in 14 mpg is incredible.

Udoh is blocking 8.1 blocks per 100 possessions! That is crazy high. He is tied for 3rd most blocks in the NBA and only playing 14 mpg. Shockingly Durant is blocking shots at an extremely high level. He has 15 blocks this season, the next closest is Cousins at 9.

I doubt he keeps up these high level advanced stats but I hope he does and I think he will still maintain a high level. The other promising thing is that we could actual survive a short time if Gobert goes down. We have the depth know at bigs.
 
This season so far our highest Usage% player is Mitchell.

The player playing at the fastest pace? JJ. Thats a really weird stat that probably wont last. It might have to do with our bench creating more fast break opportunities.
 
Mitchell is by far our best player at driving to the hole this season. Per game he drives 6.5X. He gets points 46% of the time, gets an assist 7.7%, turns the ball over 10.3% of the time, but he only gets to the line 2.6% of the time.

For comparison to another young player last year for the Jazz Exum Per game he drove 4.2X. He got points 64% of the time, he got an assist 10.1%, turns the ball over 8.3% of the time, and he got to the line 12.3% of the time.

Hill was our best driver last season though. Exum was probably our 4th best. We are really lacking any good drivers so far this season. We could definitely use Exum for that this season.
 
Rubio is our most ball dominant player this year he is getting 76.5 touches per game and is averaging 5.11 seconds per touch. Hill was #1 last season for the Jazz with 74.7 touches per game and averaging 5 seconds per touch. So our starting PGs are about the same in this regard.

Favors and Gobert get the next most touches but those are just the top of the key touches each possession and only average 1 second per touch. Inlges, Mitchell and JJ are the next 3. They average about 2 seconds a touch each.


Hood per game is not getting enough touches even in the games he has played the full game. He is averaging 28.8 touch per game and 2.55 seconds per touch. But he is averaging our highest point per touch of .53 points per touch. Hood averaged about the same touches and time last season. I expected this to go up, but it probably will. Hood got .326 per touch last year so he is much more efficient this year. That was second to only Hayward at .351 points per touch.
