I'm guessing you meant to put this in the main forum. Correct?

 

don't know what that is, but it's not EFF/48

 

If this is off topic, does that mean like how many chicks they get per 48 minutes on the town?

CUZ that would be sweet yo!

 

Yes, it is:

The number is where they rank in the league. It changes daily.

Can a mod move this for me?

 

ok i see. you didn't specify NBA rank.

 

It's changed now. Oddly LA is 92 and Roy is 93.

 

all you have to do is look at the top 7 to see how meaningless it is unless you remove people that don't play much.

hollinger's PER rankings are a little more realistic indication of where our players stand -
NBA rank:

#28 rudy
#29 roy
#39 LA
#53 outlaw

etc.

EFF is one of the statistics that I personally do not like - since they do not adjust for pace. PER is a little better because of that.

I would not worry too much about it...

Using PER - Rudy is 28, Brandon is 29, LA is 39, Travis 53, Blake 111, Batum 152, Joel 201, Sergio 205 (that's a big jump for him from last year - but he is still way too low for the love people give him), Frye 239

Of course, PER does not reflect defensive contributions well - this explains why Joel is so low, why Rudy is above Roy, why Blake is as high as he is and why Batum's value is not properly reflected. It also tells you a sad story about Sergio - he is not as good as these rankings project him.

 

Because Shannon Brown is just that awesome.

 

Click on the option marked "qualified" and it filters out statistical anomalies (like DeAndre Jordan, before Ed O. gets excited that his pre-draft assessment was dead on). If you do that:

32 - LaMarcus
35 - Brandon
85 - Travis
104 - Rudy
130 - Joel

Still not great. Good thing EFF is effing useless... (Obviously it doesn't measure defense AT ALL, because Zach Randolph comes in at 19 and Al Jefferson at 9).

 

i said a little more realistic. it's not perfect either.

 

those are just straight EFF rankings.

 

Oh yeah. Oops. I guess there's no option to filter out the low-minute guys.

 

What I don't get is why Maris would post some stat that doesn't support his theory that Sergio is one of the best players on the team. I'm very puzzled right now.

 

Because it shows Sergio above Blake...

 

Ah, of course.
