Who's taking more offensive load, and scoring more efficiently this year?
- the return of Jerami Grant?
- the arrival of Kyshawn George
- Jaden McDaniels isn't just D
- Jaylen Brown carrying the load with Tatum out

During the postseason last year, I started to play with how to visualize this data effectively, I think there's a really nice idea somewhere in there but I haven't got it yet

And the opposite, players shooting 10% fewer threes this year
- Barnes and Monk shooting fewer but much better
- Wemby with a massive volume decrease
- Hield, Durant, Pritchard, and Dort struggling even on lower volume

That last graph made me wonder who is shooting more threes this year than last, and are they doing it better?
- Max Christie's volume and percentage are way up
- KAT is struggling shooting in the new Knicks offense
- Brolo is letting loose much more often
- Sniper Westbrook?

3-point shooting so far this season for the highest-volume guys.
- The rise of Sam Merrill!
- wild to see a rookie near the efficiency frontier, Kon is for real
- my UConn heart loves to see Cam Spencer up there
- LaMelo, Shaedon Sharpe and Derrick White competing for chucker of the year so far

Hacking on an interactive table-graph hybrid and trying to make it feel nice.
Thinking I might add some more columns next; it feels nice to get a visual sense of the data and kind of bounce it back and forth between your visual and analytical brain

rebounding so far this NBA season
- Donovan Clingan building a career as an offensive rebounder
- KAT has transformed himself into a defensive rebounding monster with the Knicks
- Duren keeping the Pistons' motor running
- what isn't Jokić good at
- Gary Trent Jr. does not have time for that

Experimenting with changing the net ratings diamond plot to a rectangular plot, but feeling like the data really is diamond-shaped.
It's hard to express in this version of the chart that the Mavericks have about the same D rating as the Rockets and the Nuggets, for example
