APBRmetrics

Anyone familiar with material on whether/how much a player changing teams affects his statistical outputs? Specifically, discussion on the, "Player A and player B produce similarly, Player A's team is better than Player B's team, so if Player A was put on Player B's, he'd produce more" con...

Whoops. That you did. I think the first time I read that I didn't understand that it would significantly reduce the fast break issue as well, not just the offensive rebounds. I'm sure the shot clock winding down scenario (last few seconds) is small compared with the transition and offensive rebounds...

Really interesting article. One thing jumped to mind reading it. Would limiting the domain to exclude fast breaks and offensive rebound put backs on the early end and garbage shots to avoid the shot clock violation (just the last few seconds) be useful? The same article is being discussed on another...

I'm not really attempting to draw conclusions from this as much as I am just trying to teach myself programming. I guess I should rephrase the thread subject to "Question about PER" rather than "Using PER" and discussing what I wanted to do with it.

I'd probably still adjust it for pace to be fair, but I'd exclude the standardization. I'll have to look at winscore because I'm not too familiar with it.

Thanks for the feedback.

So if I excluded the component that standardizes PER to 15, would that solve the problem of scaling by the same amount? Proportions would be a lot harder to deal with than just a sheer linear increase. "Improvements to relevant categories improve your PER in different amounts based on the relat...

I want to look at the way salaries scale against production but I'm concerned on whether this would be a useful application of PER. Specifically, I want to see if identical improvements in the relevant PER stats of a good player and an average player pay out equivalently, but it wouldn't make sense ...

Thank you.

I'm new, but have been reading through the forum for about a week. Having encountered some interesting threads/thoughts/references on basketball, I'm interested in learning a bit more about the metrics are originally constructed, modified and applied to get some background knowledge on the topic so ...
