People are comparing it.

That's a great analogy.

Yeah, they're number one in pace.

They're setting the fewest picks in the league, and they're scoring by far more points per game, even though they're number 12 in offensive efficiency.

But it's a brand new look.

I think last year, Adebayo set 27 picks per game, Bill, if you want to drill down on a player level.

He set an eight picks a game this year.

They're just doing something completely different.

And they've gotten off to a really good start with a 12th-ranked offense without great offensive personnel.

Remember, Tyler Harrow hasn't played much at all.

Bam Adebayo's missed time.

And they're number 12 on offense.

And by the way, their team is built for defense.

They're a top-five defense.

If Harrow comes back

and he fits into this, which why wouldn't he?

And if Adebayo is regularly available, I expect them to be flirting with the top 10 offense with this new look.

The defense is great.

Will teams around the NBA start to copy this just like they copied elements of the Spurs or D'Antoni systems?

That's what the nerds are talking.
