Spurs
Starters

Sochan .426 11.500

Johnson .544 18.500

Poeltl 1.266 40.500 JUST WOW. That's the highest score for Most Impactful Spur all season for both Per Minute and Per Game. 

Jones .500 11.500

Vassell .386 13.500 

Bench

Roby .083 0.500

McDermott -0.206 -3.500

Bates-Diop .558 14.500

Bassey .406 6.500

Richardson .167 4.000

Dieng DNP

Hall DNP

Played them close. Having their Point Guard helped the offense flow better and the defense he provides is staunch. The difference in turnovers and free throws attempted loom large here.
Someone give BIG UPS to POELTL for how much offense he provided. If only the bench made a few more shots because The Austrian Alp was scoring in a myriad of ways. 

Spurs .490 117.500 

Blazers .498 119.500 

Blazers
Starters

Grant .743 27.500 He was their primary weapon early and often.

Nurkic .467 7.000

Lillard .450 18.000 He had a pretty tough matchup with Sochan as his primary defender. He scored points, but this type of Per Minute Score isn't typical of him.

For the season before this game, his Points Created Per Minute Score is .703 24.875 (That's how Points Created shows defensively. When the player scores below his average, that's the defense affecting his output and efficiency- Credit to Sochan)

Hart .500 17.000

Simons .500 17.000

Bench

Eubanks .470 15.500

Watford .455 5.000

Little .036 0.500

Sharpe .522 12.000

Winslow DNP

Brown III DNP

Walker DNP

They simply used their experience to overcome youth. Grant, Lillard, and Simons provided all the heavy scoring and even Eubanks played more than Nurkic. 

Coffee Gang Bro Hug!





The next game is Thursday at Sacramento.

Rating Scale for PC Effectiveness or Productivity Per Minute                                                    

Above .650 - Superstar category. Typically the Top 30 players reach this level of performance 

for the entire season.              

.550-.649 -All-Stars are in this range, or either just below or above it.                   

.450-.549 - Good players who are sometimes outstanding fall into this category.                

.350-.449 -Regulars. Solid players who are either starters or among a team's first seven or 

eight regulars.                        

.250-.349 -Poor. Players here are mostly rookies or vets whose skills are declining. Could be 

solid at position defense. That EFFORT does not show up on a box score.                

Below .249 - Awful. Players in this category are living life on the edge. Most are soon traded 

or released or sent to the G-League.  

 

Rating Scale for PC per Game Average                                                 

Typically, anyone who scores above 10 plays a lot of minutes and contributes meaningful stats for the team.                                                    

Frontline players typically provide a PC Game score above 18+.                       All-Star players typically provide a PC Game score above 21+.         Superstar players typically provide a PC Game score above 25+.
