    This week is a departure from the stats series I've been doing. I asked two of my friends from SBC, Stevie Cozens and Sam Shin, to join me and we each go through our 5 most intriguing players for the 2019-20 season. It's a much longer conversation as we get into pretty detailed discussion on 15 different players, but it was a lot of fun to do.Twitter: https://twitter.com/RobertAntleInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/robertantle/Blog: https://basketballstat.home.blog/

    This week we're looking at a statistic by FiveThirtyEight called CARMELO. This stat is a fun projection system used to predict a player's career arc developed by Nate Silver. I didn't do a deep dive article into how the stat is calculated since not all of the information is available, but I still took a look at everything that goes into coming up with the projections.  CARMELO ratings: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/carmelo/Historical Elo ratings: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/complete-history-of-the-nba/Article on initial CARMELO ratings: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/how-were-predicting-nba-player-career/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/RobertAntleInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/robertantle/Blog: https://basketballstat.home.blog/
