When Data Meets the Court: How Ben Saraf’s 82-66 Stat Line Exposed the Hidden Truth Behind NBA’s ‘Efficiency Illusion'
As a Chicago South Side data nerd who grew up on midnight pick-up courts, I saw this game not as a box score—but as a confession. Ben Saraf’s 82-66 efficiency rating (-2) and negative +/- (-7) screamed louder than his points. This isn’t about scoring. It’s about system failure masked as excellence. I used Python to map his usage against real impact—and what I found wasn’t just stats. It was silence in the rhythm of a system that rewards volume over value. Read between the lines—the court doesn’t lie.
