Interesting Kings lineup rating splits. There’s obviously talk about Acuff’s efficiency, but he’s actually a part of the two best Kings lineups - both with significantly positive NRTG. It’s lineup construction and defensive presence (which Acuff doesn’t help) that has been the problem far more than his inefficiency. #ProHogs

In conjunction with the Net Points metric I'm developing (see below for details), I also plan to report Game Awards for various stats - some of which are common, others I have developed. Here's a first iteration of the Game Awards for the Memphis exhibition! #WPS

STAT POST — FEEDBACK WANTED I've been workshopping a new metric for this season called Net Points, designed to approximate the NBA's version without their fancy player-tracking data. The basic idea: every possession assigns weighted credit or blame to all five players on the floor. Example, an assisted basket: most credit goes to the scorer, then the assister if there is one, with smaller amounts going to teammates for things the box score misses — spacing, movement, screens, etc. Defense is trickier. Steals, blocks and forced turnovers create clear credit, but on a simple missed shot, the whole lineup shares credit for the stop with a small bonus to the rebounder. There's much more under the hood, but that's the high-level idea. Here's how Net Points compared to the actual box score against Memphis. I want feedback: Who looks too high or too low? Any questions about a player's rating? I'm still fine-tuning the weights to better reflect actual impact on the game.

Because why not.
Sources: Missouri All-American RB Ahmad Hardy will make his season debut this weekend at Arkansas. He’s not going to start, but he’s expected to get a handful of carries for Missouri. Hardy returned to practice this week after dealing with the injury complications of being struck by a bullet in May.

Hogs are now 56% from the FT line across two exhibition games. Two games is a small sample size, but enough to at least raise an eyebrow at. One reason I’m not overly concerned yet - they were 73% as a team in the Bahamas. It will balance out.
