Article: An Early Look At Florida Basketball’s Lineup Data

This is great information. Thanks, Eric! I think with such few data points, some of the numbers are just match-up specific and will change as we get a larger sample size.

 

Love the data, E! Thanks for the article.

I know our SOS has been relatively crap - but we're doing what we should be doing to that schedule: crushing it.

I agree. more data points against better competition will help smooth things out statistically. E.g., it's odd that we're better as a team w/ Haugh instead of Condo, but as an individual, Haugh is less productive overall.

Also interesting that what most would consider our best on ball perimiter defenders (Martin and Aberdeen), both have negative D Net.

'Zel's Offensive numbers don't surpirse me as much. Love his game, but I think he's the only place in the whole rotation where the ball gets stuck too often.

Curious what the lineup of Clayton, Martin, Richard, Condon, Alexis looks like. I'm sure a step down, but I really like what Sam brings to the rotation. It's just weird how the data seems to defy the eye test at times... I guess that's what this analytically driven game is all about nowadays.

 

Very interesting about Haugh and Alexis. I wonder how those numbers differ with each guard combo(s). I'm sure Golden & Co are on it, trying to figure out the best combo when the bench players are out there so we don't see such a big drop off. NBA teams have really staggered their substitution patterns over the last 5+ years, never leaving a team without a star (top 2-3 players) on the court at all times, where they take more of an offensive load than they do with all the starters on the court. It seems to help offset any big swings vs just swapping out 5 starters for 5 bench players every minutes

 

Not sure if the data can be trusted when it says Alijah Martin is a bad thing defensively. When I watch him specifically his defensive tenacity jumps out at me. Maybe the other guys aren't paying attention to their man when he's on the court.

 

Yeah, notice that he's always in when the best guard on the other team is in too (it seems).

 

Here are the top 9 lineups ranked by overall net & for each of the "Four Factors".

the last lineup of Martin, Clayton, Aberdeen , Haugh and Condon is most intriguing - and most flexible from an offensive and spreading the floor. Partly because Richard hasn't been hitting his 3s (26%) and Haugh (40%) and Aberdeen (36%) have. Hopefully the 3 will start falling for Richard. His mechanics need consistency

 

Great feature! Interesting that Martin is the only player in all 4 of our best 4 lineups.

 

Haugh has earned PT in a lot of lineups.

 

Very interesting data!
Thanks!
