Sactown Royalty's Tom Ziller tells me he aspires to be the next John Hollinger, only less smart and less bald.

I can't speak for his hairline, but Ziller has some pretty great numbers going. In a post on BallHype, Ziller uses a series of original graphs to demonstrate interesting stuff from the 2006-2007 season like:

• "Golden State scored 106.5 points per game last season, suggesting it was one of the best offenses in the league. Not so: Golden State used a lot more possessions to get those points, and offensive efficiency -- a pace-independent measure -- reveals the Warriors offense was just a bit better than average. Antipodally, Dallas didn't boast a particularly high points per game average, but their offensive efficiency was marvelous -- the second-best in the league."
• Houston, Utah, Toronto, Denver, Golden State, Cleveland, and Chicago fans will all like Ziller's "Map of Goodness and Badness" which shows those teams to be knocking on the door of greatness.
  
• Can you guess which team has the lowest foul rate in the league? Ziller's map shows it's ... The San Antonio Spurs. Wow. You could win an argument in a sports bar with that piece of knowledge.
• Ziller assesses watchability, including factors like pace and foul rates and determines that Orlando and Portland are not fun to watch: "Terrible offense, slow offense, foul a lot on defense. Three ingredients for ADHD suicides. Blame ironhands Dwight Howard and noodly-armed Darko Milicic, or keep blaming Brian Hill (see if I care). Something's got be done, and I imagine Rashard Lewis is that something: He doesn't care enough about defense to bother fouling, and he's never been one to let the shot clock wind down before making his move. Sleep well tonight Florida, fun is on its way. But we have got to be worried about Portland. You take a slow, plodding, hamhanded team... and add Greg Oden? There's no reason for this team to change."
