I watch the game for the fun of it and don't get into all of the heavy stat analytics that many fans do. I played the game for years when basically the only stat that meant anything was the final score. I generally base my opinions on what I observe on court when I watch a game. I'm pulling for Harris to break out sometime in the future. I'd bet he knows exactly what he has to do to earn enough playing time that would enable him to gain the confidence he needs to become the impact player we all hoped for. Hope he can pull it off and get back to the three point threat that he was last year.
Times have changed though (from when I was a player and also did some coaching) and computers and statistics pretty much dominate the landscape now. However, I have no doubt there is a lot of useful information in it for coaches, players and fans. But I really don't pay much attention to anything other than box scores, player's basic game averages on O and D, and team wins and losses. I get all of that from the CBS sports web site and don't spend any time on any of the well known team and player statistical modeling sites.
