Are advanced stats hitting the mainstream?
Do you believe that Advanced Stats are now at the tipping point. For example, In the Warriors-Grizzlies game, I saw this graphic. I doubt I would have seen something like that a few years ago.
Re: Are advanced stats hitting the mainstream?
I see one "advanced" stat, aka points per 100 possessions.
But we still continually hear and see FG% as if that means anything. What is Conley's effect on team eFG%? On TS% ?
Actually, the ORtg incorporates all that and more. So the next best stat to see would be point differential, or ORtg-DRtg difference.
And even then, how much of his off-court time is garbage time?

Sometimes a given announcer will pick up a 'pet stat'. That Ast/TO thing has been kicked around for a while, even though nobody has shown it means much.
Wouldn't eFG% be something that regular fans could appreciate? It incorporates points (from FGA), 2fg%, 2fga, 3fga, and 3fg%. That is, it combines them into one effective FG%.
"A three is a basket and a half", is all you need to know. That's not hard to verbalize or to conceptualize.
