Most of top 10 draft picks underperforming here relative to their selection rank with exception of Wagler & Burries and Fleming even. All of top 10 picks underperforming pick number by BPM so far.
The rookie production thus far - Yaxel had below average games the first two, above since then - Acuff at -8.4 Net Pts/100 through 100+ minutes is bad, the worst I can remember, but I'll check - 2nd rounder Brazile in there espnanalytics.com/nba-award-…

Long-term matters most but a weak start for those high team picks.

This looks hilarious on a plot. This is while having the best transition player in the NBA
One of the crazier Heat stats to start the season is Miami’s leading the NBA in transition frequency at 28.3% (second is 23.9%) But simultaneously are dead last in points per possession in transition Legit 30th

Per cleaning the Glass, the Bulls lead the league in location-effective field goal percentage. They're second in the league in free-throw rate. They're last in mid-range frequency. Chicago has an extremely optimized shot diet. The problem is they can't actually make shots at the rim or from three and turn the ball over a ton.
Bulls shooting 42.0 3PA per game at a 23.8% clip right now... 2017 Warriors attempted 31.2 3PA per game.

Quick thoughts on Heat: May be early small sample, but right now results (-30pts / 100p for pair) and your analysis suggest Adebayo is the wrong center for Giannis lineups. It appears he should play with Larson, Hardaway and Portis. Still working on 5th guy.

Visual of the 3pa leaders so far. Some early season shooting woes for sure
Most 3PA to start the season... Ultimate green lights

Leaders in total FGA and their corresponding Points. Who stands out ?
Darius Acuff is currently second in the entire NBA in total field-goal attempts. The only player ahead of him has played one more game than Acuff has. And Acuff only has 67 points on his 73 shots.

Warriors with average offensive efficiency but 8th worst efg%. 2nd worst defensive efficiency. Some good signs from young players. Bad signs from the old.

3 Bulls positive on BPM, 3 positive on raw on / off. 10 negative on each. T Jones the only one positive on both. At this point, C Wilson is 5th on team on BPM, 10th on raw on / off.

Last ranked on team FT rate. 26th on efg%, 22nd on offensive rating overall. Half the design is failing right now.

More early NBA lineup checks: Wizards starters -8pts / 100p and Young and Davis with mostly negative pairs with other starters. 6 biggest minute Nembhard lineups all negative, 4 badly.
