Okay, so today I wanted to dig into Evan Mobley’s stats against Denver. I’ve been hearing a lot about this matchup, so I figured, why not do the research myself and see what’s what?
First, I needed to find a place to get the raw data. you know. I usually use a couple of different sites, bouncing between them to make sure everything lines up and I’m not getting any weird, skewed numbers.
Once I found some reliable sources, I started pulling up Mobley’s game logs against the Nuggets. It’s not like there’s a magic button to press – I had to go through each game, one by one, and jot down the important stuff.
- Points, obviously.
- Rebounds – both offensive and defensive.
- Assists.
- Blocks and steals – those defensive stats that really show Mobley’s impact.
- Field goal percentage – how efficiently was he scoring?
- And, of course, minutes played. Gotta see how much time he was actually on the court.
Then came the fun part (well, fun for a stats nerd like me!): crunching the numbers. I started by calculating his averages across all the games he’s played against Denver. This gives a good baseline to see his typical performance.
After that, I looked for any trends or outliers. Did he have any games where he absolutely exploded? Or any where he really struggled? These are important to note because they can show how he responds to different game situations or defensive schemes.
Finally, I wanted to see if there was any improvement over time. Is he getting better against the Nuggets as he gains more experience? This involved comparing his earlier games against them to his more recent ones.
It was a bit of manual work, copying and pasting, using a spreadsheet to keep everything organized, and then double-checking all my calculations. But hey, that’s how you get the real story behind the numbers!
