About this episode

Josh Lloyd discusses the impact of analytics on fantasy basketball and reveals surprising trends in player performance.

NBA analytics myths are revealed as data uncovers unexpected stories. Are fantasy managers relying on the wrong stats? Josh Lloyd highlights surprising trends in blocks, steals, and assists, showing how players like Victor Wembanyama, Paul Reed, and Shaedon Sharpe either surpass or fall short of expectations. Is Wembanyama’s shot-blocking dominance sustainable when teams avoid him at the rim? Can high deflection-to-steal rates for stars such as Aaron Gordon and Dejounte Murray really last, or is regression imminent?
