Last weekend, I wrote about the possibility of the Sixers picking Justise Winslow with one of their first picks. D’Angelo Russell and Mario Hezonja are the two players I find nearly as likely to be selected with the Sixers’ own pick. Today I’d like to focus on Hezonja.
A few months ago, Kirk Goldsberry wrote a piece for Grantland in which he argued that the time had come in which the quantification of coach’s impact was necessary. Citing Brian Shaw and Mike Budenholzer as examples, he argued that players either exceeded or failed to meet performance expectations based on how a coach’s system used them.
