Seems legit

CARMELO has spoken!

This made me think Carmelo Anthony was making these predictions.

 

[Axl Rose]

i was like why would Carmelo be predicting other teams records?

 

[Naptastic]

Pretty cool tool. I posted it before but they evaluated Hinrich as costing the bulls wins. :lmao:

 

[clonetrooper264]

Carmelo's got some interesting ideas

I have a hard time believing in a team that lacks any star power.

Granted one of them can take the next step. We shall see.

Clone, you should put all these in a collection together so we can see how wrong these all are at the end of the year.

Don't worry, they'll all be on like the 2nd page by the end of the year.

For some reason the link for the explanation to what Carmelo is doesn't load for me. Someone want to provide the nuts and bolts as to how they make their projections?

FiveThirtyEight’s CARMELO* identifies similar players throughout NBA history and uses them to develop a probabilistic forecast of what a current NBA player’s future might look like.

For everyone else: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/how-were-predicting-nba-player-career/

They basically look at players who have similar careers to the player and then project the players' career from there. It was initially a player career predictor. How they're using it to determine team records never really gets explained.

Yeah, that's a pretty stupid system.
