Today I was blown away, as seems to be the usual, while reading a Deep Dives article over at Nylon Calculus. Today's number crunching by Seth Partnow looks exhaustive, but for the crazy people out there like me it's pretty invaluable. I suggest everyone read it, as it talks about something we all love -- players starting. Ostensibly you endeavour to start your five best players, and they should play the most. However, Partnow finds the numbers for a long unasked question. "How much do these guys actually play together?" The funny thing is that this is just the first step of his actual post which investigates how much a specific player plays and how he performs against starters or bench players.
Utah Jazz have an interesting bench, but can they become a bench mob?
