Over the course of an 82-game season, hoops bloggers like myself see more than their fair share of number. For just about every story I write (or even attempt to write) about the Utah Jazz, I do some level of statistical research; even if the numbers never make it into the published piece.
Along the way, certain figures will catch me. Some of them are the obvious numbers; scoring averages, net ratings, X wins in Y games and so on and so forth. Others take a little bit more effort — did you know that Donovan Mitchell and Joe Ingles both traveled a little over 184 miles on the hardwood last season?
