Out now! @derekbriggs.bsky.social, Laurie Davis and I investigate differences in how much students appear to grow on a vertical scale based solely on the grade alignment of (a large number of) common items. Turns out, the differences are pretty big!

Why play Gabe at all? He’s not stopping anyone on D and can’t hit wide open looks. At least Max has some size and might grab a board or two

I’m trying to get serious about my migration. But basketball related posts here still seem pretty few and far between. My feed is basically Kevin Kruse posts and reposts 😂

Watching Warriors-Mavs its hard not to be mad at what a crappy job Lakers FO has done putting a good supporting cast around AD and Bron. They lucked into AR. But almost no dependable players in roster slots 4-15. In contrast, look at the way Warriors and Mavs have creatively rebuilt their rosters.
