Usually, blue numbers in sports stats mean "bad". Like, blue centiles on Metrics means it's bad. Today, blue stats looks comfy and cool and nice and cozy and healthcareforall-y, doesn't it.

Soapbox time: I believe a solid international scouting pipeline is one of the biggest roster-building advantages a team can have. Because of the negotiating leverage that the CBA provides, reserved players offer a straight-line path to surplus value. (See: Pauline Astier.) Outside of the draft, it's hard to find quality players who can be paid under $400,000. Paying attention to the international game is as important as ever.
International players are a growing factor in the WNBA. Players born outside of the US scored more than 25% of points in 2026, the highest share for international players since at least 2017 (likely ever). From tomorrow's piece on a few large-scale takeaways from the season.

Darius Acuff Jr gets a lot of talks going on since the season started in Sacramento. The Kings player's high volume scoring nights light the beam on him. But what is hiding behind FG% and box score points really?

Oh wow. Harsh for DeMarco. His team was honestly the best to watch in the playoffs, or close to be. Didn’t find the success it deserved but also, missing Satou didn’t help, did it.
Thank you, Coach DeMarco.

"DINGUERIE"
MICHAEL JORDAN A FÉLICITÉ GABBY WILLIAMS 🇫🇷 POUR SON TITRE WNBA ! 🤯 Alors que MJ lui a dit de continuer à avoir faim de victoire, Gabby a répondu qu’elle n’avait jamais eu aussi faim ! 🫡 Dinguerie quand même de se faire féliciter par Michael Jordan himself… 🗞️ - @kendra__andrews

Metrics is still in beta, and currently open and free to browse for everybody until the end of the November. [ NBA + WNBA + NCAA ]
(re)INTRODUCING the NCAA on Metrics! Both m and w have specific pages, in a scouting oriented way : - the PLAYERS page, with usual Metrics tabs - the PLAYER page, centered around one single player, with tools to dig in hey-metrics.com/ncaaw hey-metrics.com/ncaam

As mentionned in the primary tweet, only PLAYERS & single PLAYER pages for both NCAA. Why? The coverage Metrics intends to offer is scouting oriented. Therefore, teams stats are not that valuable as a standalone page like it is for the NBA and WNBA.

C'est pour ça que j'aime Richard d'amour.

Si on aligne les chiffres donnés sur 75 possessions, Yaxel est loin devant Barry et Chamberlain. Il joue 65 possessions quand Wilt en jouait 129. Son époque lui permet ça et c'est délicat de le comparera à Barry ou Wilt sans tenir compte de ça. Attendons un peu.

When did basketball fans started to not like trashtalk and competitive minds anymore? Won’t provide that depressing stat on Metrics I’m afraid.

Faudra quand même qu'elle ait une meilleure attitude. Se fasse apprécier de ses coéquipières. Et qu'elle se concentre sur réussir ses layups plutôt que d'insulter des rookies. nitter.cf/HaterReport/status/211…
