Data analysis: Mathering s position as the Indiana Pacer Prince was abolished. Can he be appointed again?

Neismith played a total of 383 minutes with a four-man lineup, and netted 8.3 points, 8 assists, 3.8 steals, and 3.2 blocks per 100 rounds, making 4.7 fewer mistakes than his opponent, but lost 3.5 rebounds.

From the comparison of the two sets of data, it can be seen that the five-man teams Mathering participated in have stronger scoring ability and better rebounding, but they are obviously not as good as those of the five-man teams Nessmith participated in in the team's overall and defensive aggressiveness. Through the playoff performance, you can also see that the Pacers are a team that emphasizes the integrity of the team. Nessmith participated in the five-man team has nearly five assists per 100 rounds than Mathering's five-man team. The lead in steals and blocks also reflects defensive aggressiveness and oppression. There is no doubt that Nessmith has better adaptability and chemistry with the team than Mathering.

So Mathering's current role is the sixth player, and what the sixth player needs to do is to use a microwave to show and contribute more on both ends of the offense and defense. Then let's look at his offense and defense performance.

ranked fourth in the Pacers in the regular season, only lower than Halliburton, Siakam and Turner. The inside scores account for 66% and the outside of the three-point line scores account for 34%. He can not only impact the inside but also open up the outside shooting space. It is an ideal scoring proportion for forward players, including assisted scores accounting for 62% and independent scores accounting for 38%. It can be seen that Mathurin currently mainly plays the role of off-ball, but the proportion of 38% of individual ball-holding is not low. The team has given him many leveling opportunities.

In the playoffs, the average playing time dropped sharply to 16.4 minutes, the inside score accounted for 60%, the outside of the three-point line score accounted for 40%, the assisted score increased to 70%, and the independent ball score decreased to 30%. It can be seen that the team dare not and cannot let him level up while playing games on a stage like the playoffs.

After reading the scoring ratio allocation, look at efficiency. This is the most important thing. The first is that he has an advantage in athletic ability.

Average 7 breakthroughs in the regular season, ranking fourth among the Pacers, first McConnell 11.6 times, second Halliburton 10.8 times, third Nembhard 8.4 times. It can be seen that the Pacers' fast offensive rhythm relies on the rotation and uninterrupted assaults of these major assaulters.

Among them, Matherin broke through the attack box and made 121 goals with a total of 251 shots and hit 48.2%, which is the general level. Let's look at the efficiency of the Pacers' other three assaulters. Halliburton broke through the attack box and hit 158 ​​goals with 271 shots and hit 58.3% first in the league. TJ McConnell broke through the attack box and hit 393 shots with 210 goals with 53.4%. Let's say that McConnell's white athletic ability and physical condition can make this breakthrough efficiency higher. Matherin should reflect and learn from the big brother. Nembhard broke through the attack box and hit 102 goals with 194 shots and hit 52.6%.

And it should be emphasized that the three brothers except Matherin have the ability to break through and pass the ball to create scoring for their teammates. Matherin's ability is very poor, with a breakthrough pass rate of only 26.1%, which makes the opponent's breakthrough and breakthrough breakthrough breakthroughs very targeted. He has been blocked in total 67 times and ranked first in the Pacers. In addition, the breakthrough error rate is 8.1%, which is also the highest among the main players in the team.

In the playoff stage, due to the limited playing time, he broke through 49 times in total, ranking 6th among the Pacers, with 12 goals with 25 breakthroughs and 12 goals with 25 attacking and 48% shooting percentage, 20% passing rate, and 6.1% breakthrough turnover rate, which is basically the same as the regular season level. McConnell and Nembhard's breakthrough efficiency in the playoffs have both declined sharply. McConnell's breakthrough rate through the attacking and boxing has dropped to 48.5%, and Nembhard has dropped to 38.9%.

Finally, Matherin is still a little immature in terms of breakthroughs. If he is determined to become an All-Star star in the future, his ability to break through the hard solution of the box must be improved to about 55%.

Then watch his ability to create space projection score on the outside.

The regular season three-pointers took 161 goals and hit 46 goals, 28.6% of the shooting percentage was a disaster-level performance, and the shooting percentage of 50 goals was 121 times, reaching 50 goals, reaching 41.3% of the shooting percentage.

The playoffs stage, 21 three-pointers were shot in 17 games and hit 5 goals with 21 goals and 23.8% of the shooting percentage was still a disaster level. The shooting percentage was 35% of the shooting percentage was barely qualified.

The self-held three-pointer is an important watershed between ordinary players and stars. A player can only become a star if he has three-pointers who can hold the ball and create a high shooting percentage on the outside, otherwise he can only be a plug-in. At present, Matherin does not have this ability at all. In addition, the most insulting thing is that in the playoff stage where the player's quality is tested, Matherin did not even be a plug-in.

The Pacers' outside receiver scorers exploded in the playoffs. Turner made 57 shots outside the three-point line and shot 24 shots. The shooting percentage of 42% was 40 of 80 shots. The shooting percentage of 50% was as high as 50%, Siakam made 23 of 49 shots. The shooting percentage of 47% was Nembhard made 16 of 38 shots. The shooting percentage of 42% was Ben Shepard made 11 of 24 shots. The shooting percentage of 57% was 57% of 14 shots. McConnell made 50% of 5 of 10 shots. This kind of terrifying shooting percentage of 1 of 2 shots is the key to the team's frequent magical reversals. Mathering's shooting percentage of only 35% was incompatible with the team, so he seemed the most awkward, giving him one more minute, and the chance of losing one more shot is greatly increased.

Finally, looking at the defense, through the draft report, we can see that his defensive habits and defensive skills in the rookie stage are not good. In the regular season of this season, the opponent averaged 11.2 shots in front of Mathering, ranking fifth in the Pacers (first Turner 14.9 times, second Siakam 14.7 times, third Nembhard and Halliburton tied for 11.9 times). The opponent averaged 5.6 goals in his defense, with a shooting percentage of 50%, and an average shooting percentage of 4.3 percentage points, making him the worst defensive efficiency among the main players..

In the playoffs, due to the decrease in playing time, the opponent's average shooting in front of Mathurin dropped to 6.3 shots, with a shooting percentage of 51.6%, and an average shooting percentage of 4.3 percentage points. Among all the Pacers who participated in the playoffs, there are only three players who have improved their opponent's shooting percentage, and their defensive efficiency is only higher than Shepard and Jales Walker.

Finally, sum up Matherin's performance this season. His ability to hold balls on the offensive end is growing slowly, and his current efficiency has not reached the starting player level. As an outside contact point without the ball, it is not trustworthy, and his performance on the defensive end is even worse. To put it bluntly, his ability completely does not meet the Pacers' game level and requirements. Some people say that this is the first time that Matherin has participated in the playoffs. As the game level gets higher and higher, his performance is in trouble is understandable for a 22-year-old rookie, but competitive sports are always cruel. The champion does not believe in tears. If you want to gain a foothold in the league and establish a position, you must have the quality of real gold and not afraid of fire. Keep cheering Matherin!
