You hear a lot of discussion about the Washington Wizards and wanting to push pace as a team. If you’re wondering about how each player affects the pace on a game by game basis, my graph and I are here to help:

let’s do a mini-thread of things I’m noticing while I work on my overarching season pace recap for the Wizards — 🧵

In five of the Wizards’ last seven wins, Alex Sarr recorded the fastest individual postgame pace in a win. Khris Middleton was fastest in the other two games.

Angel Reese having a 20-20 game to beat an undefeated team in Unrivaled is truly amazing

As a fan, I’ve missed Daniel Gafford on the Wizards since he was traded last season. As a stats nerd, I started wondering if the Wizards miss him as much as I do, from a pace standpoint. Here are some numbers I pulled/compiled and conclusions I reached: public.flourish.studio/story/2818823/

You know why I especially like getting Marcus Smart on the Wizards? Last time I checked (yesterday), the Grizzlies have the fastest pace in the NBA. Wizards sit at fourth. Let’s GO

The very best of luck to JV in Sacramento! I was going to publish this with my bigger trade deadline project (coming tomorrow) but I decided to do it now.
Presenting a look at JV’s minutes, pace, and the relationship between them in his Wizards tenure: public.flourish.studio/visualisatio...

Since the Luka/AD trade dropped all I’ve been wondering is “how is this going to affect Gaff’s workload/production in Dallas?”
Last note: Worth mentioning that Gafford currently has an increased workload due to the amount of injuries the Mavs’ bigs are dealing with.

Time for a mini-thread, let’s talk centers. I took down how many minutes Washington’s Jonas Valanciunas and Richaun Holmes played last night against Dallas, and their season paces after that game:

JV: pace of 102.95, played 18:37
Holmes: pace of 100.07, played 9:58

Top five Wizards in PIE as of 1/25:
JV: 15.9
MBIII: 14.1
Jared Butler: 12.5
Malcom Brogdon: 11.6
PBJ: 11.4

Note: PBJ hasn’t played since 1/13, Brogdon hasn’t played since 1/5, and MBIII has not played a game in January
oh and I’ll be tracking everyone’s player impact estimate on a game by game basis too! I’ll be updating both of these the day after the Wizards play

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

With the report that the Mavs have made Gafford available for trades, here’s my shortlist of teams that could use him*:

1. Lakers maybe in a deal for Hayes
2. Portland in a deal for Time Lord or Ayton
3. Washington** in a deal for Valanciunas

just got done updating the graphs w last night’s numbers. discovery of the day: only Kuz, Poole, and Sarr recorded both an increase in pace and player impact estimate from 1/1 to 1/3

I’ll post the Wizards’ December pace recap tomorrow once I wake up!

Not that I’m doing anything wild I’m just bringing my sleep debt into 2025. Gn, stay safe, and happy new year🤍✨

Tristan Vukcevic made his season debut with the Wizards last night. Both stat charts are updated, enjoy some numbers and maybe Christmas cookies. Happy holidays!

I love when an artist releases remasters of their music and you can hear subtle differences that make the songs sound almost brand new. The vocals in this open.spotify.com/track/6K8KuC... version of “My Fairy King” echo more and the tone they’re sung with is lighter
