You know what stats do?

Confirm what you already know. Baseball and basketball use all these whiz-bang "advanced analytics" to do what? Evaluate with "data-driven" metrics who the best players are. Now, I ask you: who are the best players in the Association. Name five. "Uh, LeBron, that big fat guy out in Denver...Uh., Steph, Giannis, that guy out in Phoenix, Joelle." Okay that's six show off, that's fine. 

The one stat most used by GM types one-stop stat is called DARKO. What is Darko? Well, go there and read their explanation. So if you're a GM and want a one-stop-shop to help guide your decision on mystical questions such as, "Should I trade Josh Richardson for Luka Doncic?" DARKO can he'p. Here, in all their number-crunching wizardry are DARKO's top five players:

You got three out of DARKO's five and you didn't even know Jokic's name. Congratulations.

"Shiny apps," fuck your shiny apps.
