</p> Found this excellent, excellent, excellent summary of the basics of NBA statistics research in the Journal of Quantitative Analysis In Sports.</p> http://www.bepress.com/jqas/vol3/iss3/1/</p> Absolutely must read if you're just getting into this type of stuff.</p>
Agreed, anyone who's into basketball stats should read that. I'd also recommned people checking out Dean Oliver's Basketball On Paper. It's a great read for any basketball enthusiast.
