“Something that struck me on the second viewing of some of this data… when you split the starters vs the bench a great deal of the fast offense is covered in the second unit. Trev and sometime Aaron are the “overlap” from the starters to work with the bench boosters… but I wonder how many fast breaks they actually get with the first unit.”

That’s an excellent question. It gives me a good idea for another post this weekend (charting how “early” the offense comes over the course of the game on average). That might help illustrate what you’re describing.

In fact, I would wager a very high ratio of their contributions to the “seven secs of less” offense is with that second group.

There have been a few times a game where Chuck will outlet very quickly but it doesn’t lead to as many fast break opportunities as when Kyle just takes the ball down and forces action in the paint.

Is that a product of AB looking more for shots? Or is that more of Kyle forcing action looking for fouls inside?
