What statistical analyst worth his salt isn't?

We do all the quirky things that work but get ignored (play defense, move the ball quickly and constantly, have a ton of guys with high eFG%)

I will say that the Magic are an enjoyable team to cover because of the style of play, etc.

Orlando Magic should be an excellent team to add analysis to because this team has a good style both sides of the floor and the depth is very good.

3QC

…for the emotive and intellectual Magic fan.

by magicfaninTN on Oct 23, 2009 4:01 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Just to clarify, Jon Nichols isn't a Magic fan but ..

Ben and I felt it wouldn’t hurt to add a person, with his talents as a statistician, to prove an outsider’s perspective on the Orlando Magic. I know that we try to be as objective as possible, but it doesn’t hurt to bring in an individual that adds to that objectivity. After Stephen Ilardi joined 48 Minutes of Hell, we felt it was a no-brainer to add Jon. What better than have an in-house statistician for 3QC? Easiest decision to make .
