Have seen some lazy Amen Thompson analysis recently…
Through 8 games, Houston’s offensive rating is 109.9 with Amen vs 136.8 without. Analysis runs with the “Amen is hurting the offense” narrative.
But the shooting and shot quality data puts it in correct perspective…
Expected eFG%
Amen ON: 58.7%
Amen OFF: 57.2%
Actual eFG%
Amen ON: 53.9%
Amen OFF: 70.2%
Houston is generating slightly better-quality shots with Amen ON the floor.
The difference is that they’re shooting well below expectation with him on-court, while it’s been magnet ball in his bench minutes (70.2% effective fg%, 13% better than expected).
The issue is pretty conclusively small sample bias rather than Amen negatively impacting the offense
