What formula should I use for the Contributor predictions?

  1. Points + Rebounds + Assists + Steals + Blocks - Turnovers (straight up numbers)

    23.1%
  2. Points + Rebounds + (Assists * 1.5) + (Steals * 1.5) + (Blocks * 1.5) - (Turnovers * 1.5)

    7.7%
  3. Points + Rebounds + (Assists * 1.5) + (Steals * 2) + (Blocks * 1.5) - (Turnovers * 2)

    46.2%
  4. Points + Rebounds + (Assists * 2) + (Steals * 2) + (Blocks * 2) - (Turnovers * 2)

    0 vote(s)

  5. Points + Rebounds + (Assists * 1.5) + (Steals * 2) + (Blocks * 2) - (Turnovers * 2)

    What think ye about the contributor predictions calculation formula?

    Oops one more option:

    Game Score; the formula is PTS + 0.4 * FG - 0.7 * FGA - 0.4*(FTA - FT) + 0.7 * ORB + 0.3 * DRB + STL + 0.7 * AST + 0.7 * BLK - 0.4 * PF - TOV. Game Score was created by John Hollinger to give a rough measure of a player's productivity for a single game. The scale is similar to that of points scored, (40 is an outstanding performance, 10 is an average performance, etc.).

    Prefect option for me would be: Points + Rebounds + (Assists * 1.5) + (Steals * 2) + (Blocks * 2) - (Turnovers * 2)

    I'll probably be the only one to select the third one, but just to explain, there's a reason I suggested that formula. Basically no extra juice for rebounds because there's one on every other shot, 1.5X for assists/blocks because they contribute to or prevent a score, and 2X for steals/turnovers because they lose/create a possession.

    I like Points + Rebounds + (Assists * 1.5) + (Steals * 2) + (Blocks * 1.5) - (Turnovers * 2) -- It correctly weights steals versus blocks (analysis has shown to be worth more than a block due to the more likely outcome of a fast break).

    If you change your mind, I believe I set up the poll so you can change your vote.

    Persuade away folks!
