Why Are Lakers, Celtics, Warriors, and Bucks All Chasing the Same Center? The Data Doesn't Lie.
Turns out the NBA’s ‘ideal center’ isn’t 7’1” tall—it’s a statistical ghost haunting our draft reports.
Lakers? They’re not drafting height—they’re drafting entropy.
Celtics? They want xA >12 like it’s their last espresso shot.
Warriors? Spacing is their religion.
Bucks? They didn’t miss the rim—they missed the point.
Ask yourself: Who really controls spacing when the ball moves? Your model does. (And no, you can’t just trade height for value.)
P.S. If this were a TikTok… we’d all be fired.
Présentation personnelle
I'm James Arkham—a former data scientist turned sports philosopher who reads games like poetry written in motion. I don't chase headlines—I decode them. For me, a three-pointer isn't just points—it's rhythm made visible. I speak five languages but listen in silence because true insight lives between the lines of a box score. This isn't fandom—it's communion.
