Jerry Engelmann has quite the background, having worked with the Mavericks and the Suns. These days, he lends his expertise to a substack run by former ESPN editor Royce Webb. Jerry’s got a knack for stirring the pot with his bold yet data-backed takes, making him a fascinating read lately. If you’re curious, you can check it out at roycewebb.com/naterate, and there’s even a special subscription offer for Dunc’d On podcast fans.
We dive into a variety of intriguing topics. There’s a good discussion on players Nate feels might be overrated when judged by Jerry’s metrics, and why they clash on those opinions. Also, we explore whether Alex Caruso could be considered one of the top defensive players of this century. There’s some buzz around the Hornets possibly trading for Anthony Davis, and the insights Jerry’s metrics provide on this. Plus, we touch on the whole “Quagmire” category Jerry has—that’s basically a list of players he believes teams should avoid.
Jerry, who was behind ESPN’s RPM, also talks about new metrics he’s developed, which you can find at xrapm.com.
