Well, it’s the middle of June and I’m stuck between three separate modes of the offseason:
Reviewing 2022-23;
Working on long-term projects for June through September (we are here);
Previewing 2023-24.
The problem with said long-term projects is that they are long-term and they kind of get posted whenever I get done with them. I’ve finished all of the 2022-23 reviews that take a lot of time to do, though a couple interviews are still to be posted. Obviously, 2023-24 content isn’t in yet. So: to fill the time and to get at least one post up in a week’s time, here’s this.
Do you have any questions you’d like answered about basketball? About the process of the sport? Anything in particular you’d like to know or are interested in? I do have ideas I’m working on, but if you’ve got concepts you’d like to share or are intrigued by, share them in the comments or in reply to this email. So…ask away! Anything and everything is welcomed.
What makes a season interesting or compelling? Can you use stats to rank the most compelling seasons of all time? There's got to be some ratio of superstar freshman vs classically developed seniors that make particular seasons great. I'm thinking 1991-93 Fab Five vs Duke/UNC years have to rank pretty high.
