Love to see Will Riley getting some attention. That said, pbpstats definition of leverage kind of punishes every single Wizards player no matter how well they played since none of them were ever in a position where any given possession would ever affect win probability.
Another award idea: player who other teams' announcers way over estimate. My favorite example of this was when the Detroit broadcast said, "uh oh, here comes Sharife Cooper" without any hint of irony.
Great Content! Excited to read more!
I just started my substack on NBA deep-takes and have 2 posts so far, while working on a third.
