2020-21 NBA Player Projections
Posted by Mike Lynch on December 22, 2020
Per-36 minute player projections are now live on Basketball-Reference for the 2020-21 season. These projection are 'simple' projections using the Marcel the Monkey system.
Marcel's keeper, Tom Tango, describes the system as follows:
"[I]t is the most basic forecasting system you can have, that uses as little intelligence as possible. So, that's the allusion to the monkey."
So there is no consideration for injuries, change of scenery, etc., in these projections.
