Q: CMake invocation of GLSLC with respect to includes/dependencies I'm using glslc to compile GLSL shaders with #includes (not part of the core spec IIRC but supported in shaderc, which is the engine behind glslc, distributed with the LunarG Vulkan SDK) into SPIR-V for Vulkan and GL 4.5. glslc emits gcc-style depsfiles ([my_shader].[ext].d) files containing dependency info.
My project is built with cmake/ninja/MSVC 2017.
Today, I use a cmake custom_command to invoke glslc when a shader has changed on disk, as a post-build step to my primary target. However, this doesn't catch the changes in included files (isn't at all aware of the .d files or their contents), so rebuilding shaders when an included glsl file is changed can trip up myself and other people on my team.
It looks like ninja can invoke arbitrary compilers, and since ninja knows how to handle the depsfiles, I should be able to coerce ninja into running glslc -- unsure about other build systems since right now we're standardized on ninja.
So how can I tell cmake to configure ninja to use glslc for a specific target? Or is there a paradigmatic way to get this done? It looks like a cmake pull request to add support for glslc as a compiler didn't make it in to cmake circa 2016, so whatever I do is going to be a workaround.

A: CMake understands depfiles when used in conjunction with ninja.

DEPFILE
Specify a .d depfile for the Ninja generator. A .d file holds dependencies usually emitted by the custom command itself. Using DEPFILE with other generators than Ninja is an error.

add_custom_command(
    OUTPUT ${source}.h
    DEPENDS ${source}
    COMMAND
        glslc

        --target-env=opengl
        ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/${source}
    DEPFILE ${source}.d
)

  -M                Generate make dependencies. Implies -E and -w.
  -MM               An alias for -M.
  -MD               Generate make dependencies and compile.
  -MF <file>        Write dependency output to the given file.
  -MT <target>      Specify the target of the rule emitted by dependency

Are we getting worse at the NBA draft?
By Tom Haberstroh June 18, 2019 1:20 PM
The Toronto Raptors just won an NBA championship without a single lottery pick on the roster. It's true. Kawhi Leonard, the Finals MVP, was picked 15th. Kyle Lowry, Pascal Siakam and Serge Ibaka were all picked at the back of the first round. Marc Gasol, Danny Green, Norman Powell and Patrick McCaw were second-rounders. Fred VanVleet and Jeremy Lin weren't even drafted.
Not a single top-10 pick on the team. When asked about this stunner of a fact ahead of the NBA Finals, Gasol told reporters the draft was so important to him that he was actually asleep when he found out he was selected 48th in 2007. And now he's a champion and NBA Defensive Player of the Year.
Haberstroh: 2019 NBA Free Agency Tracker
Said Gasol: "I don't know what it says about the draft."
On the topic, Lowry, who was picked 24th by Memphis in 2006, told the Toronto Sun: "Picks don't mean anything."
It certainly seems that way, to an extent. Not only was the Finals MVP drafted outside the lottery, but so was the presumptive regular-season MVP in Giannis Antetokounmpo, who was drafted 15th overall in 2013. The reigning NBA Defensive Player of the Year, Rudy Gobert, was drafted 27th by Denver and traded for the 46th pick and cash. The DPOY before him, Draymond Green, was a second-rounder himself.
On the other side of the equation, we've had two massive misfires at the No.1 pick in the last six drafts. Just 20 months after being the top pick in 2017, Markelle Fultz was traded for Jonathon Simmons and what will likely be a few second-rounders. Anthony Bennett, the No. 1 pick in 2013, is out of the league.
Lottery teams prepare countless reports, stay up ungodly hours and talk to hundreds of people to help identify the next star. Teams have more data than ever and, with social media, more insight into a player's mindset and personality traits. And yet, the draft seems as much of a crapshoot as ever and lottery teams continue to miss on stars. Just look at the NBA champions.
As we're getting ready for Thursday night, we have to ask ourselves: Are we getting worse at the draft?
The NBA draft has always been a difficult enterprise. Clifton McNeely, the very first pick of the very first draft back in 1947 (when it was called the Basketball Association of America/BAA) never actually played a single game in the NBA. Instead, he decided to coach high school basketball. (Imagine if Zion Williamson did that).
There have been busts and always will be busts. That's the nature of trying to look into the crystal ball.
But are teams actually getting worse at looking into the crystal ball?
It would stand to reason that scouting technology and the rise of analytics have raised the accuracy of front offices. Gadgets have certainly helped other industries. Short-term five-day forecasts, for example, are nearly as accurate as two-day projections were three decades ago. Netflix estimates that 75 percent of viewer activity is driven purely by its recommendation algorithms geared to predict what you'll watch next.
But the NBA draft, apparently, isn't getting any more predictive. If anything, it might be getting worse.
"It's still a crapshoot," said one prominent scout. "With all the available resources and new technology, we certainly haven't gotten better."
If the draft were perfectly predictive, the best player would always be picked first and the worst player available picked last. No undrafted players would ever step foot onto an NBA court.
Of course, that doesn't happen. But the correlation of pick slot and win shares doesn't seem to be getting stronger. That is, if we look into every draft since 1990, the best players -- as measured by prominent value metric win shares -- aren't increasingly getting picked at the top, or near it.
Let's look at the trends. Over the last five drafts, pick slot and player production (as measured by win shares) has a correlation coefficient of -0.38, indicating a moderate negative relationship between the two variables. In less nerdy terms, as picks go down from 60 to 1, we're seeing player win share totals going in the opposite direction -- up and up and up. It's not a perfect minus-1.0 relationship where the closer you get to No. 1, the more value is produced. (Cash winnings at a pro golf event are a perfectly negative relationship; the lower the score, the more money won).
If drafting was completely random, we'd see a correlation coefficient of zero. If the best players were always selected 60th, we'd see a perfectly positive 1.0 relationship. As you go closer to No. 60, the better the players get. Days without shaving and beard length are a perfectly positive relationship; the more days you leave the razor on the shelf, the longer the whiskers.
Where does minus-0.38 compare? The five drafts before that (2009 to 2013), that same number was minus-.50, indicating a stronger association between draft slot and player production. The five years before that, it was minus-0.41. From 1994 to 1998, that number was minus-0.52, the strongest five-year sample in the bunch.
In sum: the last five years -- where intel on players on and off the court has skyrocketed -- haven't been the sharpest work by NBA executives. If anything, the last half-decade of drafting seems to be more random than ever.
To be fair, win shares may not be the most accurate metric to evaluate draft performance and even if it was, it tells only part of the story. Recent drafts may seem more inaccurate simply because players haven't fully developed; Joel Embiid was considered a bust two years after getting drafted. And who knows, maybe Fultz becomes an All-Star in Orlando.
But even when there's more information out there, it seems we're not getting better at drafting. Executives have some theories as to why.
By now you're probably wondering: Well, what about 2018? And you're right. Deandre Ayton, Marvin Bagley, Luka Doncic, Jaren Jackson Jr. and Trae Young (picks Nos. 1-5, respectively) had terrific rookie seasons. For the first time since the 1984-85 season, the top five picks in the previous NBA draft have all been selected to the NBA All-Rookie first team (there was no such thing as a All-Rookie second team that season.)
But 2017 was horrible by comparison. The Philadelphia 76ers were so confident in Fultz that they traded a future first-round pick to the Boston Celtics in order to move up two slots to draft the University of Washington prospect No. 1 overall. The Sixers dumped him less than two years later after a bizarre string of events.
That same draft year, Donovan Mitchell, who has scored nearly 1,000 more points than the next-highest player in his class, was selected 13th overall. Kyle Kuzma, who is averaging 17.3 points per game in his NBA career, fell to pick No. 27 and was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers on draft night.
If the 2017 draft was redone, it's hard to imagine 18 teams passing on Atlanta Hawks big man John Collins. Denver's Monte Morris, who averaged 24 minutes per game for the 54-win Nuggets this season, went 51st. In a do-over draft, does Morris go higher than Fultz? That it's even a question shows how much of a gamble the draft is.
But in talking with executives (who all declined to go on the record so close to the draft), there's something else going on here. One prevailing theory seemed to arise: They're not getting dumber -- the players are just getting younger.
There's something to that. I pulled up all the draft data from Basketball Reference since 1990, when Derrick Coleman was selected No. 1 overall, and analyzed the ages of the draftees. Turns out that the average age of the 2018 draft class was 20.7 years old. That's the lowest number of all the 29 classes I studied.
Last year was such a young draft. The top five picks were 19.9, 19.3, 19.3, 18.8 and 19.1 years old, respectively. That's the first time in NBA history that the top five picks were teenagers. To put that in perspective, as recently as 2013 -- the Anthony Bennett year -- there were no teenagers in the top five; Bennett, Victor Oladipo, Otto Porter Jr., Cody Zeller and Alex Len were all in their 20s.
"The average age of drafted players is the lowest of all time," noted one assistant GM. "That probably increases variance."
That might be true, though the accuracy of the 2018 draft class figures to be an outlier. The age limit of 2005 has given rise to the one-and-done. The average age of top-five picks over the last five years is 19.3 compared to 21.9 in years 1990 to 1993. Heck, Dikembe Mutombo was the same age when he was drafted in 1991 as Bradley Beal is today (25). Michael Olowokandi was 23 when he was the No. 1 overall pick. Sure, Fultz might have been a mistake at No. 1, but at least there's an excuse; he was barely 19 when he was drafted after a one-and-done season at Washington.
190618-haberstroh-table.jpg
Another scout suggested one recent factor: the mock draft effect. The proliferation of mock drafts in recent years has created a false sense of general consensus. For example, NBA.com now publishes a Consensus Mock Draft that aggregates 10 different mock drafts with varying levels of intel.
Some teams use mock drafts, especially early in the season, to outline which players they watch in tournaments and on tape. As a player moves up the mock drafts or big boards, personnel people may be trapped into confirmation bias. If a player is rising, there must be a reason why. You see what you want to see.
"A lot of guys get drafted because they've been on a mock draft board at certain positions for a while," said the West scout. "It's kind of a mob mentality. Web sites and agents are gassing it up."
Mock drafts are supposed to be a reflection of the market, which would be a helpful resource of data. But what if the market is a mirage? With so little information on these youngsters, executives may be desperate to find clues, no matter how good or bad those clues are.
The Golden State Warriors' dynasty launched a league-wide hunt for the next Draymond Green, who was famously picked 35th in the 2012 draft. This year, front offices will surely hear from powerful people with a task to identify the next Fred VanVleet, the undrafted Wichita State product who played so well that he got a vote for NBA Finals MVP.
You could probably say the same for Malcom Brogdon, a 2016 second-round pick, who won NBA Rookie of the Year and became a 50-40-90 club member this season for the best regular-season team in the NBA.
There is one characteristic that Green, VanVleet and Brogdon share beyond the fact that they weren't first round picks: They played all four years at college.
Perhaps we've invested so far in the one-and-done era that there may be what I'll call a Diploma Bias -- guys who played all four years may be undervalued in the market. These prospects are usually labeled as "low upside" players, but VanVleet just proved his ceiling as one of the best players on a Finals team. Same with Draymond Green and Danny Green, the latter of whom went 46th after four years at North Carolina.
Sure, one-and-done players may be sexy because they did so well in just one year of experience, but it's still, you know, one year of data. One executive sees the one-and-done problem having a compounding effect.
"Whoever plays in college next year won't play against Zion Williamson," said a front office executive. "That reduces their competitive environment."
Which makes it tougher to evaluate, even with technology and analytics.
"Although there is more information, the signal in that information has dropped," the executive said.
This isn't to say that Cam Johnson, who is 23 years old after his senior year at UNC, should go No. 1 over Zion. But it might mean that he's being unfairly punished for his age. For those who are looking at the next Draymond Green, it may be worth taking a look at Brandon Clarke, who is 22.8 years old but shares much of the same versatility and defensive acumen that we heard about Green. The same goes for Virginia's defender, De'Andre Hunter, who is 21 and a half.
While everyone chases the next kid and bemoans how hard it is to draft in today's environment, it might make more sense to zig when everyone zags. Old may be the new young.

Sixers' Ben Simmons is worth the max
By Tom Haberstroh July 18, 2019 12:00 PM
The Philadelphia 76ers aren't messing around. On Tuesday, Ben Simmons signed a full maximum extension, worth $170 million over five years, to remain with the team that drafted him No.1 overall in 2017. With Joel Embiid already under contract through 2022-23, Philly GM Elton Brand locks in one of the best young duos in the NBA for at least the next four seasons.
Simmons' extension isn't a total surprise, but it's still an enormous commitment from the Sixers once you account for the rest of the core's price tag. The 22-year-old's salary will jump from $8.1 million in 2019-20 to $29.3 million in 2020-21 and escalate gradually to $38.6 million in 2024-25.
Haberstroh: Sixers smart to reload with Harris, Horford
With the re-signing of Tobias Harris and the additions of Al Horford and Josh Richardson, the Sixers will be paying $131.5 million to just five players in 2020-21. To illustrate how steep that outlay is, consider that the salary cap is projected to be $116 million. (CBA 101: teams can go over the cap to re-sign its own players, generally speaking). According to ESPN, all five years are guaranteed with significant bonuses tied to All-NBA honors in 2019-20.
Is paying all that guaranteed money to Simmons a wise investment?
I wouldn't think twice about it. He deserves it. Simmons is an elite NBA player, even at age 22 (he turns 23 next week). He averaged 16.9 points, 8.8 rebounds and 7.7 assists on 56 percent shooting in his second season in the league, becoming the youngest player in this past season's All-Star Game in Charlotte.
Still, Simmons remains a basketball riddle. Consider that his top statistical comparables in FiveThirtyEight's model include names like James Worthy, Grant Hill, Bernard King, Brad Daugherty, Blake Griffin and Andrew Bogut. All over the place. If you asked a Magic 8 Ball about Simmons' future, it'd probably read, "Cannot Predict Now."
Who is Ben Simmons? The irony is he's himself, to a T. Simmons' first two seasons in the league were just about carbon copies of one another. To wit:
In 2017-18, he played 2,732 minutes.
In 2017-18, he took 12.3 shots per game and made 6.8.
In 2017-18, he averaged 8.2 assists and 3.5 turnovers.
In 2017-18, his player efficiency rating was 20.0.
And his other advanced metrics were eerily similar, too.
Some might call that uncanny consistency. Others might call it a red flag. But criticizing Simmons' plateau in Year 2 ignores the fact that most of the players on the All-Rookie teams had either even or down years. Most everyone expected huge things from Simmons, Donovan Mitchell, Jayson Tatum and Lonzo Ball in 2018-19. None of them took a huge step forward. (Mitchell came on strong late in the regular season, but struggled mightily in the playoffs against the Houston Rockets.)
Simmons' postseason saw wild swings from clear superstar to critically flawed. The best game of his young career notably came in a playoff setting, one in which Embiid sat out with a sore knee. Entering Game 3 tied 1-1 in the series against the Brooklyn Nets, Simmons erupted for 31 points and nine assists on the road without his co-star. That virtuoso performance came on the heels of Jared Dudley saying Simmons was "average" in the halfcourt. Simmons responded in a big way.
That's the Simmons that Philly fans want to see every night. But over the next nine games, Simmons averaged just 12.1 points, including four straight games without making a free throw.
Look, he's 22. We want Simmons to be a finished product who dominates every playoff game he's in, but he's years away from his prime, and the Sixers just locked in his age 24 to age 28 seasons.
The most tantalizing aspect of Simmons' game is his defense. Thanks to his versatility, it's possible Simmons will win a Defensive Player of the Year award by the time this contract is done. At 6-foot-10 with point guard speed and instincts, Simmons has the ability to thwart just about any player in the game. According to research by Nylon Calculus' Krishna Narsu, Simmons was one of nine starters who guarded all five positions at least 10 percent of the time on the floor last season. None of them were as young as Simmons.
It's rare for a player to show a knack for defense at Simmons' age. It was Simmons, not Jimmy Butler, that took on the Kawhi Leonard assignment in critical moments of the playoffs. There were lapses, to be sure, but he was 22 freaking years old going against the best player in the world. Getting young players to commit defensively in the NBA is like pulling teeth. Simmons wants to be a Defensive Player of the Year one day, which is a huge win in and of itself.
Simmons' lack of a jumper has many folks howling about how Embiid and Simmons are horrible fits next to each other. The numbers don't agree. With the two young stars on the floor this postseason, the Sixers outscored opponents by 19.5 points per 100 possessions. Here are some postseason net ratings for star duos (net rating is points ahead/behind every 100 possessions while on the floor): Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum, minus-1.3; Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, plus-3.0; Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray, plus-7.8; Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton, plus-9.6. Again: Simmons and Embiid, plus-19.5.
Some of that juggernaut rating is a reflection of JJ Redick, Harris and Butler often being on the floor as well, but it's undeniable that the Sixers have thrived with Simmons and Embiid on the court. The fit isn't perfect, but Simmons and Embiid complement each other in other ways.
While Embiid lumbers up the floor, Simmons blitzes past defenders in the open court. Simmons' ability to execute high-level passes in tight spaces has resulted in Embiid shooting 45.5 percent on 2-pointers off of Simmons' passes compared to 41.5 percent on 2-pointers from all other teammates, per NBA.com tracking. Simmons assisted more of Embiid's buckets than Butler and T.J. McConnell combined. (Side note: the Sixers are going to miss Redick's playmaking next season).
Would a reliable jumper help Simmons' impact? Of course it would. But you could say that about a lot of players -- most valuable ones, too.
The reigning MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo has shot 26.5 percent from downtown over the last five seasons. Russell Westbrook, another MVP, has shot above 30 percent on 3-pointers once in the last five seasons. Westbrook has made 216 more 3-pointers than Simmons has over the last two seasons, but he's also missed 504 more 3-pointers than Simmons over the last two seasons. Those misses matter, too.
Taking more 3-pointers would probably be good both for Simmons' development and the Sixers' spacing. But excessive 3-point shooting from bad shooters can be just as hurtful to NBA offense. Yes, the offense can become clogged when it slows to the halfcourt and playoff teams can exploit that. But even with the iffy shot and fit with Embiid, the Sixers were the eighth-best offense in the NBA. Not historic, but pretty darn good. And they were a bounce or two from the Eastern Conference Finals.
Simmons' lack of range has generated some polarizing opinions on the player. Some think Simmons is another Michael Carter-Williams (there are a lot of blue check marks here). But that's incredibly unfair to an elite finisher like Simmons, who owns a 57.0 true-shooting percentage in his career compared to Carter-Williams' 47.1 percent over his first two seasons -- not even in the same sphere. Simmons is much closer to Magic than MCW.
While I think many go overboard on Simmons' lack of a jumper, I am not holding my breath that he'll add one. Brook Lopez famously didn't make a 3-pointer until his seventh year in the league and he's now one of the NBA's most prolific 3-point shooters. But Lopez was an excellent free throw shooter (81 percent in his first two seasons) and regularly exhibited a knockdown mid-range shot.
Simmons' lack of a single made 3-pointer in his two seasons grabs headlines, but it's his poor free throw shooting (58.3 percent) and lack of mid-range game that make me skeptical it'll ever become a go-to weapon. Since 2000, there are 25 players who have zero 3-pointers in at least 3,000 minutes over their first two seasons. The list is almost exclusively centers. The ones that eventually added a 3-point shot -- Lopez, Marc Gasol and Horford -- all shot at least 70 percent from the line.
Simmons, however, owns a free-throw shooting percentage that ranks 23rd of 25 players, just ahead of Mason Plumlee and Bismack Biyombo and just behind fellow Klutch client and workout buddy Tristan Thompson. I probably don't have to tell you that Plumlee, Biyombo and Thompson have yet to add any semblance of a 3-point shot.
But Simmons does outrank all of those non-shooting centers in one category: total win shares. Again, just because Simmons doesn't have a jump shot doesn't mean he can't be a dominant player.
It all boils down to this: Simmons instantly vaults into the MVP conversation if he adds a jumper to his game. Players that are one skill away from MVP talk absolutely deserve the max. Players in that realm are almost never 22 years old. Simmons is already there.
Rockets' Russell Westbrook gamble won't end well
USA Today Images
By Tom Haberstroh July 11, 2019 9:07 PM
If you're the Houston Rockets, which star would be the ideal fit with James Harden?
First, the star would have to be OK with not having the ball in his hands. In the best-case scenario, said star is a sharpshooter who can defend multiple positions at a high-level. On top of that, he'd have young legs to ease Harden's burden as he enters his thirties.
In other words, it's probably not Russell Westbrook.
On Monday, the Rockets reportedly traded for the 2016-17 MVP, pairing him with James Harden to form one of the most intriguing duos in the NBA at a cost of a combined $340 million over the next four seasons (Westbrook and Harden each have player options for nearly $47 million in 2022-23). As part of the deal, the Rockets traded Chris Paul, first-round picks in 2024 and 2026 and pick swaps in 2021 and 2025.
For the Rockets, it's a bold move, but it's tough to ignore the scent of desperation. Houston general manager Daryl Morey valiantly fought off rumors about Paul's reported trade demand and publicly guaranteed that Paul and Harden would be back next season.
It took less than a month for Morey to reverse course and trade Paul to a Western Conference rival so he could reunite Harden and Westbrook for a championship push. It can't be overstated that the most 3-point obsessed team in NBA history just traded for the worst high-volume 3-point shooter ever. Westbrook's career 30.8 percent 3-point field goal percentage is the worst in NBA history among the 110 players with at least 2,750 3-point attempts, per Basketball Reference.com.
One rival general manager called it a "panic move" by Houston, calling the pick-sweetened package "too rich" to send OKC's way.
Westbrook seems heretical to Morey's gospel of efficiency. Over the last decade, there's only been one player who used at least 30 percent of their team's offenses possessions with worse shot efficiency than Westbrook last season. That was Kobe Bryant during his farewell tour two seasons after a torn Achilles.
Morey doesn't have his head in the sand when it comes to Westbrook's inefficiency. Quite the opposite. In April 2017, I interviewed Morey on an ESPN podcast while his player, Harden, was up for the MVP award. Harden had lost steam in the public eye compared to Westbrook, who was averaging a triple-double on the season.
Of course, at the time, Morey was stumping for his guy, Harden, and attempting to delicately discredit the other candidates without formally naming them (Westbrook eventually won the award). Without saying the word "triple-double" Morey made it clear that that was an overly simplistic MVP criteria.
"For me, the argument is pretty straightforward and simple," said Morey. "Don't get distracted by the easy catchphrases."
Morey continued, citing Houston's No. 3 seed in the West.
"Call me crazy, but historically people who watch the NBA know that (players) can put up numbers on average to below-average teams and that's why they don't vote for those candidates. Call me crazy, but if you're a dominant player and primarily dominant on offense and you're not even an above-average offense in the NBA, it seems hard to say you're making an impact."
"On top of that, the other guy (Harden) who is putting up basically the same dominant numbers is leading the top-10 offense ever, not below average in the NBA this season."
When Morey was asked more pointedly about Westbrook's candidacy, the Houston GM again harped on Westbrook's box-score numbers not translating to team success.
"(Westbrook)'s having one of the greatest seasons ever. He just happens to be doing it with James Harden also having one of the greatest seasons ever -- and on a team that's winning. There's really no precedent when two people are having absolutely historic seasons that they give it to the guy who is generating his value on the side of the ball where his team isn't even above average."
That was in 2017, but it might as well be right now.
Last season, Westbrook again averaged a triple-double while his team finished 16th in offensive efficiency, sandwiched between the Washington Wizards and Sacramento Kings. And that was while Westbrook's teammate, Paul George, had an MVP-caliber season. What's more, the Thunder still couldn't get out of the first round, losing to the Portland Trail Blazers in five games.
So, what makes the Rockets think they can do better with Westbrook and Harden?
This appears to be a situation where Houston's new owner Tilman Fertitta may have gotten impatient after a Western Conference semifinals loss to the Golden State Warriors and then went on a rant saying the Rockets should have, uh, cut the Warriors' throats.
"I can promise you, we're gonna win some championships with James Harden because we're not going to sit here," Fertitta said. "We're going to battle every year. We're going to have a strong offseason, and we're gonna do whatever it takes to be a better team. We're not gonna sit on our hands. I can promise you that."
"I'm a fighter. That's my culture," Fertitta said. "The longer I own this team, they're gonna pick up more of my culture. We had 'em. We should have stepped on their throats the other night and cut their throats. It's step on their throats, and let's take it back to Houston and end it in six."
For what it's worth, Westbrook certainly fits into that fighter culture. A one-of-a-kind athlete, he's also three and a half years younger than Paul, and lines up closer with Harden's career trajectory. Harden turns 30 years old in August and 33 at the end of his deal, while Westbrook turns 31 in November and will be 34 in 2022-23. But there are more than enough reasons to be concerned about Westbrook as he enters the back half of his career.
It starts with his injury history. Beginning with the collision with then-Rockets guard Patrick Beverley in the 2013 playoffs, Westbrook has undergone five procedures on his troublesome right knee, most recently a clean-up in May and arthroscopic surgery last September that wiped out his preseason. For someone who relies on his wheels so much, that has to be a concern.
Most alarming, there are signs his physical decline has already started. In his age-30 season, coming off that September surgery, Westbrook finished with just 33 dunks, 24 fewer than in 2017-18. Just 2.9 percent of his field goal attempts were dunks, tying a career low, per Basketball Reference. He notably had zero dunks in the Thunder's first-round loss to the Blazers.
Some of that drop may be attributed to an early-season injury to his plant leg, an ankle sprain, that caused him to miss six games in November. But it's also noteworthy that Westbrook experienced a bizarre drop in his ability to draw fouls during the regular season, taking only 6.2 free throws per game and making just 65.6 percent of them (down from 10.4 attempts and 84.6 percent in his MVP season).
When he is healthy, Westbrook plays like he's shot out of a cannon, but it backfires far too often. Playing next to George was supposed to free up open shots and help Westbrook become more efficient. Instead, Westbrook became the worst version of himself, hijacking the offense with premature jumpers and getting careless in transition. Westbrook ranked dead-last in transition efficiency among 27 players with at least 250 transition plays, according to Synergy Sports tracking. Only 22-year-old Ben Simmons coughed up the ball more times in these open-court situations, fueling the critique that Westbrook plays with a low basketball IQ even at this stage of his career.
Fastbreak opportunities are normally an integral part of a healthy NBA offense. But in the case of Westbrook, his tendencies have become so hurtful last season that him finishing a transition play was less efficient than OKC's halfcourt offense (0.87 points per play versus 0.93 points per play).
As the architect of the Seven Seconds Or Less Offense in Phoenix, Mike D'Antoni may be able to wean some of the headaches out of Westbrook's game, but expecting him to make a wholesale change at this point in his career isn't a smart bet.
Perhaps D'Antoni tinkers with the iso-heavy offense that defined the Harden-Paul era and tries to step on the gas. Last season, the Rockets were the NBA's fourth-slowest team in pace factor, a measure of possessions every 48 minutes. And it worked, with the Rockets ranking second in offensive efficiency, mostly thanks to Harden's one-on-one dominance.
Last season, Harden finished with 1,280 isolations and was the NBA's most efficient player in those situations, scoring 1.11 points per isolation, according to Synergy tracking. The player that ranked last in isolation efficiency last season? Yup, Westbrook, at just 0.75 points per play.
So, Westbrook is inefficient playing fast and playing slow. D'Antoni certainly has his work cut out for him.
Westbrook should find some easier pathways to the rim with Eric Gordon and P.J. Tucker flanking him, but it is impossible to ignore the fact that Harden and Westbrook ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in turnovers last season. Meanwhile, Paul finished with half as many turnovers as Westbrook (152 to 325) and remains one of the most efficient point guards ever.
From a schematic point of view, Westbrook makes little sense next to Harden. With Harden pounding the rock in isolations and pick-and-roll attacks, why guard Westbrook off the ball? Paul shot over 43 percent on catch-and-shoot 3-pointers, while Westbrook made just 53-of-166 (31.9 percent).
Maybe that's the idea, to just have Westbrook not shoot 3-pointers. But at least defenders had to respect Paul as a shooter. With Westbrook off ball, Harden will see more defenders in his way to the rim.
There's also this: point guards who rely on speed and athleticism don't age particularly well. Consider that his top comp in FiveThirtyEight's similarity model, Isiah Thomas, played his last game at the age of 32 after rupturing his Achilles tendon in 1994. Though that injury was a career-ender, Thomas had already planned to retire that season because too many nagging injuries had sapped his effectiveness. In his last two playoff runs, following the 82-game grind, Thomas labored his way to just 13.7 points per game on 38.3 percent shooting from the floor.
The Rockets could look at Westbrook and see Jason Kidd, who is the third-closest comp on the FiveThirtyEight list. The triple-double maestro from Cal famously added a full-throttle 3-point shot in his mid-30s and enjoyed a career renaissance in Dallas that culminated in a championship in 2011. That's the best-case scenario for Westbrook if everything falls into place, but Kidd was a significantly better shooter even at this stage of his career.
Meanwhile, Oklahoma City continues one of the quickest, and most impressive, teardowns in NBA history. The Thunder were eyeing one of the biggest payrolls the league had ever seen before George reportedly went to GM Sam Presti with a trade request last week. The Thunder could have hung on and tried to tread water, but a Westbrook-centric team weighed down by the four years and $171 million remaining on his supermax extension wasn't the most prudent decision for a small-market team. Though Paul has three years of max money left, it's one year shorter than Westbrook's (if Westbrook picks up his player option in 2022-23).
If the Thunder choose to keep Paul, he could mentor 20-year-old Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and run point alongside Dennis Schroder with Terrence Ferguson, Danilo Gallinari and Steven Adams anchoring the frontcourt alongside Nerlens Noel and Andre Roberson, who's returning from knee surgery. That could be a playoff contender, but it's more likely that OKC spins Paul to a team with true championship aspirations.
According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, the Thunder are already working with Paul's agents to move him to a new team. If Denver sputters to start next season, would it trade Paul Millsap for Paul and accelerate their title contention now that they have former OKC stretch four Jerami Grant? That's one possibility. According to ESPN, the Miami Heat discussed a possible Westbrook trade with the Thunder and are prominently involved in Paul trade discussions as they try to land a co-pilot for Jimmy Butler.
But OKC is loaded with assets now and can take their time with Paul and with their future. Usually teams have to lure other teams with a first-round pick sweetener to take on money like Westbrook and George, but it's a testament to Presti's roster that he was able to turn the tables. Teams gave the Thunder picks to take on their money. Presti brokered a record-setting deal to acquire five first-round picks and two picks swaps with the Los Angeles Clippers for George and his three-year contract (player option on the third season). They received another protected pick from Denver for Grant, giving the Thunder potentially 15 first-round picks over the next seven drafts.
In exchange for those picks and a bright future, Presti ended the OKC Thunder as we know them. I'll never forget seeing James Harden drape his arms around Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook in Miami after the Heat had sealed the 2012 NBA Finals. Despite the five-game loss, OKC looked destined to assemble its own dynasty one day. Seven years later, all three are gone and the Thunder never got back to the Finals.
Now, the Rockets are banking on Harden and Westbrook to rediscover their old magic in Houston. Maybe it works. With Klay Thompson recovering from a torn ACL and Kevin Durant in Brooklyn, the West is as wide open as it's been in years. Maybe Westbrook's reckless, driving style pairs perfectly next to the shooting of Harden, Gordon and Tucker. Maybe the old OKC Thunder duo return to their glory together and finally get the Rockets over the postseason hump that's stalled them for the past three seasons. Vegas sportsbooks actually view this deal as improving the Rockets title odds.
But I don't see it. Between Westbrook's injuries, declining play and the bizarre on-court fit, this feels like a reunion that's doomed to fail.

Ubisoft Reveals 'The Division 2' Did Not Meet Sales Expectations On PS4 And Xbox One
Paul Tassi
News and opinion about video games, television, movies and the internet.
The Division 2 may hold the honor of being one of the only loot shooters to debut with a non-botched launch, but the game has fallen short of Ubisoft's expectations for it, according to a recent investor call.
Citing "fierce competition in the market," Ubisoft's CFO Frederick Dugeut said that the game fell short of sales expectations on console, though he cited a 10 fold increase in Uplay sales on PC as a silver lining, and said that the game's next update, its raid, is expected to do well for it.
Let's uh, dissect all that, shall we?
Fierce Competition – I have been racking my brain and genuinely can't think of what other games would be in direct competition with The Division 2 when it was released in the middle of March. Destiny 2's Season of the Drifter was starting to spool up around then, but it was hardly some atomic bomb of a content update, and if anything, all anyone was saying at the time was how favorably The Division 2's debut compared to Destiny. Past that, other than the general sense of battle royale games continuing to be popular (Fortnite, and this was a month and a half after Apex Legends came out), I really don't understand what Ubisoft is talking about here. The Division 2 practically had this month to itself.
Uplay – This one is just hilarious because what isn't being mentioned here is that the reason for a 10 fold increase in Uplay sales was because of the deal with the Epic Games store that led a ton of players to simply download it from Uplay rather than use EGS as an intermediary. This sounds good when you phrase it the way they did, but means nothing.
The Raid – I think Ubisoft is going to be in for a surprise if they think that the raid is going to be the thing to increase The Division 2's fortunes. Players have not been amused that after implying that all game activities would have matchmaking, the first 8-player raid, debuting later today, would not. That has left players scrambling to find places to LFG they've never had to use before, or more likely, skipping the raid entirely because it's gone from something they could pop into to try out to an activity that requires a lot of work to organize. It may be good content, but it's an activity only a small part of the playerbase is actually going to partake in and complete.
'Demon Slayer' Season 2 Finally Has An Actual 2021 Release Date
Netflix's 'Squid Game' Season 2 Not A Sure Thing, Says Director
'Genshin Impact' Still Refuses To Increase Anniversary Rewards, Despite Fan Outcry
So what's actually going on here?
Part of this is the old "expectations" game where in this case, we don't even know what Ubisoft was expecting from The Division 2 sales, and so we don't know how realistic that was or if it was a big deal that the sequel missed the mark. Was The Division 2 supposed to double the sales of The Division 1? Who knows, but if it was some lofty goal like that, it's not terribly realistic.
The Division 1 had a checkered history, as many of the people who bought the game and helped make it the fastest-selling new IP in history ended up not liking the state of it by the end, as it arrived without any real sort of endgame and always had a relentless focus on the always-controversial Dark Zone. While The Division 1 went on to be supported in major ways through DLC and patches that greatly improved the game, I know at least a lot of casual players who still have a poor impression overall of the game if they didn't stick around that long, and that may have carried over to a lack of enthusiasm for the sequel.
Despite this, I really can't bring myself to say anything bad about the way The Division 2 launched. It brought over a ton of the lessons learned from the first game, and launched in a very solid state with a robust endgame in place and few technical difficulties that plague other titles in the genre. It especially was compared favorably to its competition like Destiny and Anthem, and what issues it did or does have, are relatively minor in the grand scheme of things, inventory clutter, skill power problems, etc. So again, I do have to call into question what Ubisoft's expectations were here in the first place to put faith in the idea that The Division 2 is somehow a disappointment overall. As someone who is notoriously critical of loot shooters and their various problems, The Division 2 has impressed me more often than not.
We'll see how The Division 2 does over the long term, but I am not sure how I feel about this 'free roadmap" idea of continuing content over more traditional DLC releases, which worked well in the first game. Free is good, but piecemeal content is often not terribly engaging, and we'll see some evidence of that by a fractional amount of players returning for today's matchmaking-free raid. But I'll keep playing new updates as they come, and we'll see what's in store for the long-term future of the series.

Monster Hunter Rise Features New Animal Companion Types
Monster Hunter World is beginning to wrap up, but fans don't have to be sad because Capcom will be releasing Monster Hunter Rise to the Nintendo Switch, an all-new title that was included in the most recent Nintendo Partner Showcase.
Unfortunately, Capcom didn't release a lot of information about the upcoming title, as the announcement trailer was only 2 minutes short, and the Monster Hunter Direct was only 15 minutes. Nevertheless, the fans were able to get a glimpse of the title's gameplay, setting, and monsters – enough footage to whet their appetite for the game.
Aside from the new beasts you can expect to slay in Monster Hunter Rise, we would like to take a moment to discuss the new support characters aka companions you will meet in the game. These companions will assist you in exploration and battle, making your experiences a little more lively.
First and foremost, dog lovers can hunt with canine companions now at long last. This is actually a first in the Monster Hunter series, with the announcement trailer even showing off one of these Canyne Buddies called a Palamute at the beginning.
Your character can ride on top of these creatures in order to journey through the lands at a much quicker pace. In fact, they can even climb walls! The stamina for these creatures doesn't decrease, so you can ride as fast and as far as you want.
Canyne's are an attack-type support, which means that they can also assist you when it comes to battle. There are some scenes in the Monster Hunter Direct footage that shows the Canyne companion to be holding a blade in its mouth.
On the other hand, there are the Felyne Palico companions, which have been an unexpected return to the franchise. Unlike the Palamute, these companions will focus more on supporting your character rather than attacking enemies.
You can bring up to two companions with you, and it's up to you what companion combination you want to bring. You can even adventure with two Canynes or two Felynes if that's what you feel like doing.
However, this won't be the case for multiplayer mode, as you can only bring one Buddy per player. This is possibly implemented to avoid making your party from becoming too overpowered.
That being said, Capcom really knows how to make their fans happy, as they also announced Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin on the same day. More information on both titles will be revealed during the Tokyo Game Show this year.
Monster Hunter Rise will be available on the Nintendo Switch this upcoming March 26th, 2021.

Shouting at your wife may get you a criminal record in France
By PETER ALLEN – THE DAILY MAIL
Married couples in France could end up with criminal records for insulting each other during arguments.
Under a new law, France is to become the first country in the world to ban ' psychological violence' within marriage.
The law would apply to cohabiting couples and to both men and women.
'Insidious': Couples who resort to 'psychological violence' during arguments could get criminal records under a new French law (file picture)
French Prime Minister Francois Fillon said electronic tagging would be used on repeat offenders
It would cover men who shout at their wives and women who hurl abuse at their husbands – although it was not clear last night if nagging would be viewed as breaking the law.
The law is expected to cover every kind of insult including repeated rude remarks about a partner's appearance, false allegations of infidelity and threats of physical violence.
Police are being urged to issue a caution in the first instance, but repeat offenders could face a fine, a restraining order or even jail.
Critics said the measure was a gimmick produced in response to lobbying by feminists and would be impossible to implement.
But French premier Francois Fillon, who announced the law, said: 'The creation of this offence will allow us to deal with the most insidious situations – situations that leave no visible scars, but which leave victims torn up inside.'
Many believe the offence will be impossible to prove. Psychologist Anne Giraud said: 'Squabbling couples will allege all kinds of things about each other, but often it will be a case of one person's word against the other.'
Sociologist Pierre Bonnet said: 'The next step will be to make rudeness a criminal offence. The police and courts will be over-stretched trying to deal with numerous cases.'
A spokesman for Mr Fillon said the law was supported by the government, and was likely to be implemented within six months.

M1 Kliniken AG announces financials for H1-2022
17.08.2022 | Investor News
positive business development despite cooling of general consumer climate
Group revenue falls to just under EUR 139 million (EUR 165 million in H1-2021)
Group EBITDA amounts to EUR 7.4 million (previous year: EUR 9.9 million); EBIT amounts to EUR 4.5 million (previous year: EUR 7.1 million)
Beauty: Increase in treatment and sales figures; five new centres already opened in 2022; no influence of the deteriorating consumer climate so far
Berlin, 17.08.2022 - M1 Kliniken AG (ISIN: DE000A0STSQ8) announces its key financial figures for the first half of 2022. Accordingly, consolidated Group revenue in the first half of 2022 was just under EUR 139 million (previous year: EUR 165 million). This decline is attributable to a reduced sales volume in the trading segment of the Haemato subgroup.
Business development in the Beauty segment continues to be positive. With more than 100 thousand treatments in the second quarter of 2022, the value from the first quarter of 2022 (89 thousand) was clearly exceeded. The value for H1-2021 (163 thousand treatments) was exceeded by more than 15% to just under 190 thousand treatments in H1-2022.
Sales in the Beauty segment rose to 27.9 million euros (previous year: 24.0 million euros). Among other things, the opening of five new treatment centres in the first half of 2022 contributed to this growth. So far, M1 does not observe any significant effects from the deteriorating consumer climate. Thanks to its unique positioning in a strongly growing market, the Group expects only minor or manageable influences on its own business development.
In the area of foreign locations, M1 continues to pursue its expansive business approach. Thus, the number of treatments increased by more than 50% to almost 30 thousand; turnover rose by approx. 40% to almost 4.0 million euros compared to the previous year. Part of this development are targeted price campaigns to increase coverage.
EBITDA of the M1 Kliniken AG Group in H1-2022 totalled EUR 7.4 million (previous year: EUR 9.9 million), EBIT was EUR 4.5 million (previous year: EUR 7.1 million). The previous year was characterised by the sale of COVID antigen rapid tests, which contributed significantly to earnings with very pleasing gross margins. In this respect, the current earnings situation is within the expected corridor.
The pre-tax result (EBIT) in the Beauty segment totalled €2.6 million in H1-2022. The German business activities again were in the range of the target EBIT range of 15-20% and 0.5 million euros above the previous year. EBIT generated in the foreign locations totalled - 1.1 million euros in H1-2022 after - 0.3 million euros in H1-2021. These investments to build market presence and brand strength in the international markets are setting the foundations for the successful development of the group in the medium to long term.
"We are consistently pursuing our plan to be a dominant provider of medical beauty services in all the national markets we serve. To this end, we are expanding our network, which is increasingly developing into a truely international alliance. By the end of the year, we want to move towards 60 specialised centres and at the same time further increase capacities in the existing centres. Due to our good financial position, we possess all the necessary resources to implement this growth strategy" - says the CEO of M1 Kliniken AG, Dr. Walter von Horstig.
The detailed report on the first half of 2022 will be available for download on the company's website https://www.m1-kliniken.de/en/investor-relations/financial-reports.html from 25 August 2022.

Q: In MySQL, how to return the week of the month? The year is divided into 12 months. We can break down a month in four weeks.
In MySQL, how to return the week of the month? (Example: first week: 2 entries, second week: 5 entries, third week: 3 entries; fourth week: 8 entries)
Using Week and WeekOfYear not get the desired result because the functions return the week number YEAR, not month.

A: Week of month (where the starting incomplete week is counted as a whole)
select ceiling((day(now()) -
(6 - weekday(date_format(now(),'%Y-%m-01'))))/7)
+ case when 6 - weekday(date_format(now(),'%Y-%m-01'))> 0
then 1 else 0 end week_of_month;

A: FLOOR((DayOfMonth(dateCol)-1)/7)+1

I'd like to make it clear that this is probably not a good way to divide your data - (see the comments), but that this will get you as close as you can get.

A: Use the MySQL built-in function week to find the week number for the year, then subtract the week number for the first day of the month.
SELECT WEEK('2012-02-20') - WEEK('2012-02-01')

there are plenty of options in the documentation to customize the call to fit exactly what you are looking for, but I hope my example gives you an idea of what is available to you.
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/date-and-time-functions.html#function_week

A: SELECT WEEK(my_date_field,5) - WEEK(DATE_SUB(my_date_field,
INTERVAL DAYOFMONTH(my_date_field) - 1 DAY),5) + 1

Or you can see here.

A: SELECT
(WEEK('2020-09-27') - WEEK(DATE_FORMAT('2020-09-27','%Y-%m-01')))+1


The Queensland Centre for Mothers & Babies has created a number of different information resources for health professionals.
A review of current practices around postnatal transfer of care from Queensland birthing facilities to community-based services. This report includes a literature review, findings from an online survey, analysis of discharge summaries and recommendations to strengthen and improve on the investment the Queensland Government has already made in postnatal care for the benefit of women, babies and families.
The report can be downloaded here .
The QCMB has produced a number of facility and region-specific reports based on the findings of our 2010 Having a Baby In Queensland Survey. The survey captured the maternity care experiences of more than 7000 women. Part of our commitment to women and Queensland Health is to disseminate the findings at the facility and district level.
Access the Facility Level Reports here .
A training program to assist maternity care providers to refresh their skills on effective information sharing. The program goes through the WISE Guidelines ( W oman-centred, I nterprofessional and S ystem supported at E very stage of care) in an interactive way that trains care providers about professional information sharing and helps them inform women about communicating with their care providers.
For more information about the program click here .
The Baby Bites were developed to increase the access that parents, and parents-to-be, have to information and to help inform practice change.
In May 2012, the QCMB released a report that looked at the research on water immersion in first stage labour, women's preferences for water immersion and access to facilities with it, and the policies and practice of health professionals across Queensland.
Currently there is no evidence that supports or rejects its use in second stage (birth) and third stage labour (when the placenta is born). If you'd like to find out more about it, discuss the benefits and risks with your care provider.


The do-while loop is similar to while loop except one key difference. A do-while loop first execute the body of do block after that it check the condition of while.
As a do block of do-while loop executed first before checking the condition, do-while loop execute at least once even the condition within while is false. The while statement of do-while loop end with ";" (semicolon).
Let's see a simple example of do-while loop printing value 1 to 5.
In this example do-while loop execute at once time even the condition of while is false.


I caught up with Rodney Rocques and the Jazz Full Riders at the 42nd Annual Berklee High School Jazz Festival. The group formed while attending last year's Five-Week Summer Performance Program. While the band members hail from as far away as Puerto Rico, and Canada, they will join together this fall on campus where they will attend Berklee full-time. Check out their performance!

Homepage » Trade News » Melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet: Short Term Event or Long Term Climate Change?
A recent post on Wired's Geek Mom blog discusses the latest satellite info from the scientific community which reveals significant melting on snow and ice on Greenland. Three different satellites have shown that Greenland's surface has gone from approximately 40 percent melted water to approximately 97 percent. Additionally on-the-ground research in Greenland has verified a warming of surface temperatures that correlate with melt.
The media is using the term "unprecedented". In fact, the NASA press release about this is using the term "unprecedented". What is "unprecedented" about this news is the ability for the satellites to see the warming, and the speed with which that data can be seen by the scientists. The warming itself certainly is not unprecedented. Conditions supporting this were last measured directly in 1889, and ice core samples, which have the ability offer evidence of climate conditions over 100,000 years old, have indicated that vast warming occurs approximately every 150 years. For this to happen in 2012 is not unreasonable.
The satellites taking the measurements require some understanding regarding their capabilities and limitations. Greenland is unique in that there is very little else besides rock, ice, snow and water for measurement. So I'm more confident in Greenland's data than I would be in many other locations. Sand, loam, clay, forests and urban areas can often make detection more difficult. The two satellites mentioned above that measure reflectivities of the land mass surface (Oceansat-2 and SSM/I) are only measuring a few centimeters deep. It essentially measures data that translates into water on the surface. So even if there's a slight sheen of water for the satellites to sense, there could still be miles of ice directly underneath. As soon as the temperatures dip below freezing again, it will freeze again.
Melting happens on Greenland every year at this time. The melting itself is not what's unusual. It's theamount of melting.

what medicine should I take when I am pregnant for gastric in order to be safe?
I had vomiting and stomac pain during the last week. I am 6 weeks pregnant. I have suffered from gastric for a long time. Also during this time I don't have appetite and I feel bad with my stomach.
aw! congrats! I know how you feel! I went through the same thing! Hang in there! Try eating bland foods. I ate peanut butter crackers every morning before even getting out of bed for about 11 weeks. If you get dehydrated you can drink gatorade, but do half water and half gatorade. It is safe to take phenergan during pregnancy, but it makes you sleepy. Hope this helps!
There is no safe medicine to take during pregnancy. That said, you can get more specific info at www.safefetus.com. You can also get good baby diet info at www.blueribbonbaby.org. Congratulations!
