So in terms of wondering what makes Lue tick, I know he's a former player and all, and I remember seeing him play only in the sense that you may remember some scrubs on other teams. Couldn't really remember much, but I thought "Hey, I'm going to look up his stats, and see if he is statistically similar to anyone on the Cavs." I figured that maybe looking up his advanced stats might tell me a bit about what kind of players he values....
Mother of God....he played 11 seasons. In
every single one of those seasons, he had a negative DBPM, and a negative BPM. In all but 3 of those season, he had a
negative VORP. And in all three of those seasons, his VORP was 0.0.
The guy managed to last 11 seasons in the NBA without even
once being a positive BPM or VORP player. That's amazing.
