Taking the top 100 WinShares seasons by rookies in the last 10 years -- that is >1.3 WS -- scaling 2012 and this year's crop up to 82 games:

Code: Select all

. yr    Age    Min     PER   WS/48   WS    VORP    BPM
2007   22.5   25645   14.1   .094   50.3    7.3   -0.9
2008   22.6   23422   14.4   .102   49.8    9.6   -0.4
2009   21.1   47776   15.0   .094   93.1   16.0   -0.7
2010   21.6   39877   14.7   .097   80.6   13.5   -0.7
2011   21.8   25150   15.0   .102   53.3   13.3    0.1

2012   21.5   33199   14.3   .096   66.2   17.4    0.1
2013   22.1   34296   14.0   .089   63.9    8.6   -1.0
2014   22.3   20316   12.8   .081   34.1    5.4   -1.0
2015   21.8   22645   13.5   .075   35.5    7.4   -0.7
2016   21.1   24416   15.0   .112   52.4   10.1   -0.3

avg    21.8   29473   14.3   .094   57.9   10.9   -0.5
This year's crop has more impact than the last 2 yrs, but they haven't gotten the minutes of an elite group.

EDIT: Search omitted Okafor, Portis, Bjelica, Reed -- so they didn't get scaled up, etc.
They total about 5 WS.

Any comments on massive advantage Porzingis (and Jokic) has over Towns in RAPM and RPM?

RPM from ESPN

9. Jokic +5.9
42. Porzingis +2.7
91. Towns +1.2

RAPM from two sets J.E. posted in February:

single year
20. Jokic +2.8
36. Porzingis +1.9
287. Towns -0.8

multiyear
34. Jokic +2.7
50. Porzingis +2.2

Were other rookies ranked above Towns, or just these two?
Do we really know what to make of half season RAPM or RPM?

I'm not sure about other rookies, but shouldn't RAPM after about ~25% of season be as good as two years APM? Besides RPM covers almost whole season and Towns is still behind, so he would be even more behind in RAPM, because there is no box score component which gives KAT a lot of value.

Towns has played 50% more minutes than Jokic, so that should be factored in.
How much are they adding to their teams? In terms of point differential, or plus-minus, we might consider their potential replacements.

Based on 95 poss/48 min., these might be alternative replacement level RPM to consider:

Code: Select all

.   point-diff relative to "replacement" RPM
.         RPM    Min    -2      -4      -6
Jokic     5.9   1610   133.9   167.8   201.7
Porzingis 2.7   2047   101.3   144.4   187.5
Towns     1.2   2457    82.8   134.5   186.2
It may be that Towns (or Porzingis) have weaker alternatives as teammates. In which case, you might say they've contributed more than Jokic has, even if these RPM are accurate.

What is the average EWins score for all players? How many rookies were better than league average? Mean performance and / or median? 3? 6? More?

NBA avg is 1.00 eW/484 min. Only 5 rookies were above that rate for more than a few mpg.
Among the top 300 in minutes ( >656 min), the median is .90 eW/484
