No I knew that and like I said there’s nothing wrong with the star itself. It’s the way he uses it. Any way you slice it, it’s true shooting and volume. He’s I know he compares TS% to current league average TS%. It’s not some crazy thing. People have been doing this forever. He’s just the first one to think it’s the holy grail.
If you think PAAC is everything, you there’s zero interaction between the players and the only value comes from the shots you take. No consideration is taken for anything other than the shot itself.
The idea of using that to asses total offensive value like Locke does is crazy. The fact that he protects it like it’s some big secret is hilarious. PAAC is not even something worth stealing. He treats it like the golden standard of numbers and it’s cringe when he cites it as the real deal on national podcasts and interviews. It’s also funny when it comes time to mention Mitchell’s PAAC because he has never been a positive.
But look, I’m not going to ruin your fun. If you believe that comparing TS% to league average and then factoring in volume is the cutting edge for sports analytics...more power to ya. For those people, I’ve got a special secret. Take the TS add on bball-ref and decide it by games. It will blow your mind.
