Each of the Miami big 3 on the most slippage list. Looks to me like diminishing returns from 3 #1s moving into the trio are in play to some degree beyond the personal year to year stories. Whatever the gains by other Heat players combined, none of those individually made the top 15 of the improvement list due to minutes and size of role.

The one area where it was almost a given where they'd all improve was effective shooting%. LeBron's down .050, Wade and Bosh are unimproved, and all 3 are doing less shooting.
Last year, their combined 36-minute averages were something like 88 pts and 25 reb; this year, 75 and 21.

Sorted by team, players whose 'extra' ewins are at least .20 more or less than what last seasons rates would have produced; or who are at least .10 in extra (or fewer) eWins and at least .20 changed in eWins per 484 minutes (1.00 = avg, zero = replacement level).
In the nearly-blank lines are the team totals, representing the summary improvements of only those players who played last year.

It's funny that Ellis dropped off and now Curry is up there. Not surprising to me. Ellis has considerably regressed since his hot start and Curry is starting to come on.
What about Raymond Felton?
Oh, and would you mind if post about these in my Warriors blog?

Here's what I've got with Advanced SPM this year:
I'm listing the regressed ASPM values for this year as the best estimate for what the player has done so far, along with the projections before the year and the difference between them.
Landry Fields has been the biggest surprise--but of course, he's a rookie.
Code:
Tm      Player              %Min  RegrSPM  Proj. SPM  Difference
NYK     Landry Fields       64%     1.08     -5.28     6.36
OKC     Russell Westbrook   76%     7.74      2.27     5.47
TOR     Reggie Evans        43%     1.79     -3.22     5.02
DAL     Tyson Chandler      56%     3.19     -1.56     4.75
NJN     Kris Humphries      48%     2.02     -2.45     4.46
ORL     Brandon Bass        45%     2.59     -1.23     3.82
PHI     Elton Brand         67%     2.93     -0.89     3.82
LAL     Shannon Brown       40%     2.58     -1.23     3.80
ORL     Jameer Nelson       50%     5.44      1.69     3.75
HOU     Brad Miller         38%     2.12     -1.24     3.36
CHI     Derrick Rose        75%     5.00      1.78     3.21
IND     Roy Hibbert         62%     3.17      0.02     3.15
ATL     Al Horford          67%     6.50      3.39     3.12
MIA     James Jones         50%    -0.38     -3.39     3.00
WAS     JaVale McGee        57%     1.34     -1.66     3.00
BOS     Glen Davis          60%     1.06     -1.84     2.89
UTA     Paul Millsap        73%     5.00      2.16     2.83
BOS     Marquis Daniels     40%     0.10     -2.68     2.78
NJN     Devin Harris        57%     3.79      1.04     2.76
NOH     David West          65%     3.59      0.88     2.71
Now I'm not taking into account playing time here (this isn't VORP expected vs. VORP actual, though I could do that). I'm simply looking at the biggest improvement among players playing over 35% of the team's minutes.
Also: AGING was already built into the projections. So a player that was projected to age down hill but hasn't would show up here; also, a young player would not get credit for EXPECTED improvement. This is simply comparing performance to expected true talent level for this season.

What about Raymond Felton?
Oh, and would you mind if post about these in my Warriors blog?
By all means, share and share alike.
Felton is about .28 eWins ahead of last year's production, ranking him 53rd in the league, 2nd on the Knicks. He's getting an extra 3 Pts, 1.7 Ast, and 1.1 TO.
Here are the non-rookie Warriors:

This is great. And not something I can quite imagine doing, creating 'expected' values.
Westbrook improved a lot last year; does that increase or diminish his expected improvement from year 2 to year 3 ?
Brand and Davis are coming off of down years. Is the expectation that they bounce back, or that they continue to decline?
What can you say about players with phenomenal improvement in limited minutes (Deshawn Stevenson) ?

Basically, the projection just weights the previous years' data using this weighting:
1.000
0.439
0.193
0.085
0.037
0.016
0.007
0.003
0.001
where the 1 is for data from last year.
Then, the data is regressed towards a predicted value for a player with a given MPG profile on a given quality of team (again, this includes data from previous years, but last year is weighted even more heavily.)
Then, a small overall regression to a single value is applied for all players (this downgrades players with very small sample sizes for both of the previous segments).
Finally, an aging curve is applied to update forward to this year.
It's a basic method of projection, used often by baseball projection systems.
I then use the projection as a Bayesian Prior for this year; I'm running a continuously-updated estimation of each player's current true talent level.

It's turning into a runaway.
Standardized, Gordon's scoring is up 38%, rebounding 27%, Ast 67%, Blk 80%; TO up 26%, Stl down 11%.
Last year's .72 eW/484 min implies he was at 72% of average NBA effectiveness; he's almost doubled that, to 137%.
Last year, he was at 42 percentile; this year at 86.

Fight! Seriously, though, I think it's great when models disagree. That's when you actually learn something new. What's the cause here?

My ASPM disagrees strongly with your evaluation of Eric Gordon. I don't even have him as good as Mike Conley this year!
If you expected Gordon to have 2.1 VORP, and he has 3.8 (whatever these units are), that's about 33% more/better than expected.
I have him about 39% improved in his total productivity (T rate, a weighted sum of other productions.)
This compares to a 46% increase in PER over last year.
His WS/48 is .135, or 196% of last year's .069 ; just a shade bigger step than what eWins suggests.
Those measures seem to concur, Gordon is having a better year than Mike Conley --

I like the steals (particularly) and assists enough to balance out the usage and TS%. I guess it's not that strong a disagreement.
Seriously, though, Eric Gordon's VORP added only about 1.7, while Westbrook has added 4.5 and Elton Brand 3.4.

Everybody's 'on there somewhere'; I ran out of time.
These are some guys who have had nice numbers and have not gotten minutes.
Then, their numbers plummet just when they're expected to step into more usage?

The other day, I caught a bit on ESPN in which Greg Anthony and another guy were asked to name the 2 biggest improvers and disappointers in the league.
One of the 2 most improved according to one expert was Amare' Stoudemire, and the other guy picked Raymond Felton. Both are Knicks.
But is either the MIP even on their own team?
Code:
Min./G e484 PER WS/48
Knicks 2010 2011 2010 2011 2010 2011 2010 2011
Wilson Chandler 35.7 34.8 .77 1.09 13.7 16.1 .057 .104
Raymond Felton 33.1 38.7 1.08 1.20 15.2 17.3 .118 .098
Amare Stoudemire 34.6 37.1 1.92 1.81 22.6 23.5 .181 .140
Min/G perhaps reflects what the coaches think.
Of listed 3 systems, all concur that Wilson Chandler is the most improved player in NY.
PER is the only one that even thinks they've all 3 improved.

Here's my latest top 30 improvers, and for fun and comparison, their current (and last year's) PER and Win Shares per 48.

Arthur,Darrell .57 .97 10.5 15.4 .031 .117
Brand,Elton 1.07 1.28 15.7 18.6 .073 .158
Jones,James .18 .54 8.8 11.8 .099 .161
Brown,Shannon .63 1.02 12.4 16.0 .096 .128
I find it interesting that even though this list is generated from top eWins improvements, the other stats show even greater improvement in the great majority of cases.
Looking at last year's players with at least 2200 minutes, I get this breakdown:
Code:
2200 min. rank e484 PER WS/48
All-NBA 15 1.75 21 .175
All-Star? 30 1.50 19 .150
mere star 45 1.25 17 .125
solid 70 1.00 15 .100
starter
And does anyone else yet systematically generate a most-improved list based on extra wins created?

My ASPM disagrees strongly with your evaluation of Eric Gordon. I don't even have him as good as Mike Conley this year!
If you expected Gordon to have 2.1 VORP, and he has 3.8 (whatever these units are), that's about 33% more/better than expected.
I have him about 39% improved in his total productivity (T rate, a weighted sum of other productions.)
This compares to a 46% increase in PER over last year.
His WS/48 is .135, or 196% of last year's .069 ; just a shade bigger step than what eWins suggests.
Those measures seem to concur, Gordon is having a better year than Mike Conley --

Fight! Seriously, though, I think it's great when models disagree. That's when you actually learn something new. What's the cause here?
Actually, I've got 'em just about equal. Their numbers:
Code:
Rk 1 2
Player Mike Conley Eric Gordon
Season 2010-11 2010-11
Age 23 22
G 26 24
MP 943 905
PER 17.0 20.6
TS% 0.536 0.568
eFG% 0.492 0.488
ORB% 1.1 3.2
DRB% 8.9 7.1
TRB% 5 5.1
AST% 30.1 23.2
STL% 3.1 1.4
BLK% 0.3 1
TOV% 16.6 12.5
USG% 20 29
ORtg 107 113
DRtg 106 113
OWS 1.10 2.30
DWS 1 0.3
WS 2.2 2.6
WS/48 0.11 0.135
I like the steals (particularly) and assists enough to balance out the usage and TS%. I guess it's not that strong a disagreement.
Seriously, though, Eric Gordon's VORP added only about 1.7, while Westbrook has added 4.5 and Elton Brand 3.4.

Everybody's 'on there somewhere'; I ran out of time.
These are some guys who have had nice numbers and have not gotten minutes.
Then, their numbers plummet just when they're expected to step into more usage?

The other day, I caught a bit on ESPN in which Greg Anthony and another guy were asked to name the 2 biggest improvers and disappointers in the league.
One of the 2 most improved according to one expert was Amare' Stoudemire, and the other guy picked Raymond Felton. Both are Knicks.
But is either the MIP even on their own team?
Code:
Min./G e484 PER WS/48
Knicks 2010 2011 2010 2011 2010 2011 2010 2011
Wilson Chandler 35.7 34.8 .77 1.09 13.7 16.1 .057 .104
Raymond Felton 33.1 38.7 1.08 1.20 15.2 17.3 .118 .098
Amare Stoudemire 34.6 37.1 1.92 1.81 22.6 23.5 .181 .140
Min/G perhaps reflects what the coaches think.
Of listed 3 systems, all concur that Wilson Chandler is the most improved player in NY.
PER is the only one that even thinks they've all 3 improved.

Here's my latest top 30 improvers, and for fun and comparison, their current (and last year's) PER and Win Shares per 48.

I find it interesting that even though this list is generated from top eWins improvements, the other stats show even greater improvement in the great majority of cases.
Looking at last year's players with at least 2200 minutes, I get this breakdown:
Code:
2200 min. rank e484 PER WS/48
All-NBA 15 1.75 21 .175
All-Star? 30 1.50 19 .150
mere star 45 1.25 17 .125
solid 70 1.00 15 .100
starter
And does anyone else yet systematically generate a most-improved list based on extra wins created?

All these are with the same team as last year.
Paul, Harris, and Parker are bouncing back from bad (injury) seasons.
Ellis returning to trajectory after 2 off years.
Millsap was also this good year before last, when he started. --

And he was among the most improved that year --

DeShawn has played just 99 minutes. His WS/48 is about 10 times his career rate:

RJefferson in 420 minutes is enjoying career best TS%, WS/48, Blk%, TO%, and ORtg.

Each of the Miami big 3 on the most slippage list. Looks to me like diminishing returns from 3 #1s moving into the trio are in play to some degree beyond the personal year to year stories. Whatever the gains by other Heat players combined, none of those individually made the top 15 of the improvement list due to minutes and size of role.

The one area where it was almost a given where they'd all improve was effective shooting%. LeBron's down .050, Wade and Bosh are unimproved, and all 3 are doing less shooting.
Last year, their combined 36-minute averages were something like 88 pts and 25 reb; this year, 75 and 21.

Sorted by team, players whose 'extra' ewins are at least .20 more or less than what last seasons rates would have produced; or who are at least .10 in extra (or fewer) eWins and at least .20 changed in eWins per 484 minutes (1.00 = avg, zero = replacement level).
In the nearly-blank lines are the team totals, representing the summary improvements of only those players who played last year.

It's funny that Ellis dropped off and now Curry is up there. Not surprising to me. Ellis has considerably regressed since his hot start and Curry is starting to come on.
What about Raymond Felton?
Oh, and would you mind if post about these in my Warriors blog?

Here's what I've got with Advanced SPM this year:
I'm listing the regressed ASPM values for this year as the best estimate for what the player has done so far, along with the projections before the year and the difference between them.
Landry Fields has been the biggest surprise--but of course, he's a rookie.
Code:
Tm Player %Min RegrSPM Proj. SPM Difference
NYK Landry Fields 64% 1.08 -5.28 6.36
OKC Russell Westbrook 76% 7.74 2.27 5.47
TOR Reggie Evans 43% 1.79 -3.22 5.02
DAL Tyson Chandler 56% 3.19 -1.56 4.75
NJN Kris Humphries 48% 2.02 -2.45 4.46
ORL Brandon Bass 45% 2.59 -1.23 3.82
PHI Elton Brand 67% 2.93 -0.89 3.82
LAL Shannon Brown 40% 2.58 -1.23 3.80
ORL Jameer Nelson 50% 5.44 1.69 3.75
HOU Brad Miller 38% 2.12 -1.24 3.36
CHI Derrick Rose 75% 5.00 1.78 3.21
IND Roy Hibbert 62% 3.17 0.02 3.15
ATL Al Horford 67% 6.50 3.39 3.12
MIA James Jones 50% -0.38 -3.39 3.00
WAS JaVale McGee 57% 1.34 -1.66 3.00
BOS Glen Davis 60% 1.06 -1.84 2.89
UTA Paul Millsap 73% 5.00 2.16 2.83
BOS Marquis Daniels 40% 0.10 -2.68 2.78
NJN Devin Harris 57% 3.79 1.04 2.76
NOH David West 65% 3.59 0.88 2.71
Now I'm not taking into account playing time here (this isn't VORP expected vs. VORP actual, though I could do that). I'm simply looking at the biggest improvement among players playing over 35% of the team's minutes.
Also: AGING was already built into the projections. So a player that was projected to age down hill but hasn't would show up here; also, a young player would not get credit for EXPECTED improvement. This is simply comparing performance to expected true talent level for this season.

What about Raymond Felton?
Oh, and would you mind if post about these in my Warriors blog?
By all means, share and share alike.
Felton is about .28 eWins ahead of last year's production, ranking him 53rd in the league, 2nd on the Knicks. He's getting an extra 3 Pts, 1.7 Ast, and 1.1 TO.
Here are the non-rookie Warriors:
Code:

Here it is from a VORP perspective, using -3.5 as the replacement level:

This is great. And not something I can quite imagine doing, creating 'expected' values.
Westbrook improved a lot last year; does that increase or diminish his expected improvement from year 2 to year 3 ?
Brand and Davis are coming off of down years. Is the expectation that they bounce back, or that they continue to decline?
What can you say about players with phenomenal improvement in limited minutes (Deshawn Stevenson) ?

Basically, the projection just weights the previous years' data using this weighting:
1.000
0.439
0.193
0.085
0.037
0.016
0.007
0.003
0.001
where the 1 is for data from last year.
Then, the data is regressed towards a predicted value for a player with a given MPG profile on a given quality of team (again, this includes data from previous years, but last year is weighted even more heavily.)
Then, a small overall regression to a single value is applied for all players (this downgrades players with very small sample sizes for both of the previous segments).
Finally, an aging curve is applied to update forward to this year.
It's a basic method of projection, used often by baseball projection systems.
I then use the projection as a Bayesian Prior for this year; I'm running a continuously-updated estimation of each player's current true talent level.

It's turning into a runaway.
Standardized, Gordon's scoring is up 38%, rebounding 27%, Ast 67%, Blk 80%; TO up 26%, Stl down 11%.
Last year's .72 eW/484 min implies he was at 72% of average NBA effectiveness; he's almost doubled that, to 137%.
Last year, he was at 42 percentile; this year at 86.

Fight! Seriously, though, I think it's great when models disagree. That's when you actually learn something new. What's the cause here?

Each of the Miami big 3 on the most slippage list. Looks to me like diminishing returns from 3 #1s moving into the trio are in play to some degree beyond the personal year to year stories. Whatever the gains by other Heat players combined, none of those individually made the top 15 of the improvement list due to minutes and size of role.

The one area where it was almost a given where they'd all improve was effective shooting%. LeBron's down .050, Wade and Bosh are unimproved, and all 3 are doing less shooting.
Last year, their combined 36-minute averages were something like 88 pts and 25 reb; this year, 75 and 21.

Sorted by team, players whose 'extra' ewins are at least .20 more or less than what last seasons rates would have produced; or who are at least .10 in extra (or fewer) eWins and at least .20 changed in eWins per 484 minutes (1.00 = avg, zero = replacement level).

It's funny that Ellis dropped off and now Curry is up there. Not surprising to me. Ellis has considerably regressed since his hot start and Curry is starting to come on.
What about Raymond Felton?
Oh, and would you mind if post about these in my Warriors blog?

Here's what I've got with Advanced SPM this year:
I'm listing the regressed ASPM values for this year as the best estimate for what the player has done so far, along with the projections before the year and the difference between them.
Landry Fields has been the biggest surprise--but of course, he's a rookie.
Code:
Tm Player %Min RegrSPM Proj. SPM Difference
NYK Landry Fields 64% 1.08 -5.28 6.36
OKC Russell Westbrook 76% 7.74 2.27 5.47
TOR Reggie Evans 43% 1.79 -3.22 5.02
DAL Tyson Chandler 56% 3.19 -1.56 4.75
NJN Kris Humphries 48% 2.02 -2.45 4.46
ORL Brandon Bass 45% 2.59 -1.23 3.82
PHI Elton Brand 67% 2.93 -0.89 3.82
LAL Shannon Brown 40% 2.58 -1.23 3.80
ORL Jameer Nelson 50% 5.44 1.69 3.75
HOU Brad Miller 38% 2.12 -1.24 3.36
CHI Derrick Rose 75% 5.00 1.78 3.21
IND Roy Hibbert 62% 3.17 0.02 3.15
ATL Al Horford 67% 6.50 3.39 3.12
MIA James Jones 50% -0.38 -3.39 3.00
WAS JaVale McGee 57% 1.34 -1.66 3.00
BOS Glen Davis 60% 1.06 -1.84 2.89
UTA Paul Millsap 73% 5.00 2.16 2.83
BOS Marquis Daniels 40% 0.10 -2.68 2.78
NJN Devin Harris 57% 3.79 1.04 2.76
NOH David West 65% 3.59 0.88 2.71
Now I'm not taking into account playing time here (this isn't VORP expected vs. VORP actual, though I could do that). I'm simply looking at the biggest improvement among players playing over 35% of the team's minutes.
Also: AGING was already built into the projections. So a player that was projected to age down hill but hasn't would show up here; also, a young player would not get credit for EXPECTED improvement. This is simply comparing performance to expected true talent level for this season.

Here it is from a VORP perspective, using -3.5 as the replacement level:

IND Roy Hibbert 61.7% 1.96 4.11 2.15
DEN Arron Afflalo 73.4% 1.19 3.33 2.14
Again, this is difference from expected, not difference from last year.

By all means, share and share alike.
Felton is about .28 eWins ahead of last year's production, ranking him 53rd in the league, 2nd on the Knicks. He's getting an extra 3 Pts, 1.7 Ast, and 1.1 TO.
Here are the non-rookie Warriors:
Code:
Golden State Warriors 2010-11 2009-10

This is great. And not something I can quite imagine doing, creating 'expected' values.
Westbrook improved a lot last year; does that increase or diminish his expected improvement from year 2 to year 3 ?
Brand and Davis are coming off of down years. Is the expectation that they bounce back, or that they continue to decline?
What can you say about players with phenomenal improvement in limited minutes (Deshawn Stevenson) ?

Basically, the projection just weights the previous years' data using this weighting:
1.000
0.439
0.193
0.085
0.037
0.016
0.007
0.003
0.001
where the 1 is for data from last year.
Then, the data is regressed towards a predicted value for a player with a given MPG profile on a given quality of team (again, this includes data from previous years, but last year is weighted even more heavily.)
Then, a small overall regression to a single value is applied for all players (this downgrades players with very small sample sizes for both of the previous segments).
Finally, an aging curve is applied to update forward to this year.
It's a basic method of projection, used often by baseball projection systems.
I then use the projection as a Bayesian Prior for this year; I'm running a continuously-updated estimation of each player's current true talent level.

It's turning into a runaway.
Standardized, Gordon's scoring is up 38%, rebounding 27%, Ast 67%, Blk 80%; TO up 26%, Stl down 11%.
Last year's .72 eW/484 min implies he was at 72% of average NBA effectiveness; he's almost doubled that, to 137%.
Last year, he was at 42 percentile; this year at 86.

Fight! Seriously, though, I think it's great when models disagree. That's when you actually learn something new. What's the cause here?

The other day, I caught a bit on ESPN in which Greg Anthony and another guy were asked to name the 2 biggest improvers and disappointers in the league. One of the 2 most improved according to one expert was Amare' Stoudemire, and the other guy picked Raymond Felton.
felton he is getting more touches in new york, and his pts/g and ast/g are way up...
but he's shooting overall the same, is rebounding worse, blocking fewer shots, and - went from being the starting PG on the league's best defensive team to the starting PG on the league's currently 9th worst team defensively...
how much of that drop in defense is due to him?...

Last year's Knicks were 27th; this year they've risen to 21st. The Bobcats have dropped from 1st to 14th this year.
If this were all due to one moving player, he'd be an elite defensive player.
In Charlotte, Felton cut down his 3FGA every year for 4 years. By last year, his FG% had risen to .456. His 3fg% was up to .385.
This year, career high 3FGA rates, but down to .331 accuracy. Total FG% down to .424.
Last year, he averaged 17.6 Pts/48 while the rest of the NBA managed 93.8 (vs Cha) . That's .188 of what opponents scored.
This year, the ratio is 21.5 to 106.1, or .203 .
From somewhat below average to barely average as a scorer, an increase of 8%.
As the Knicks' designated passer, his Ast% is up 25%, from .295 to .368.
TO% is up only 9%.

Felton looked great early but has regressed since the first couple of months. That someone would say he's one of the most improved shows two things: 1) people are too quick to make judgements and 2) slower to change them once new data are available.

That's about right. On Dec. 27, he appeared at the bottom of the top 21, and his eW/484 was at 1.30 .
I've now got him at 1.22 . Compared to last year's 1.08, his improvement is only 64% as great as it was after 2 months.
His numbers (PER, WS/48, e484) are steady since a Jan. 29 report, above (p.2).

I've been noticing an unusual number of point guards in the most improved lists, and I worry that it's just that eWins has an improved value for assists this year.
But the magnitude of the improvement seems too large still. Looking for corroboration or rebuttal, here are last year's top 15 Ast% among point guards, and other relevant numbers last year and this year.
Code:
PER Ast% Usg% WS/48 e484
2010 2011 2010 2011 2010 2011 2010 2011 2010 2011
Nash 21.6 23.6 50.9 54.7 22.9 23.0 .178 .195 1.56 1.64
Paul 23.7 25.0 45.4 46.6 22.2 21.2 .204 .263 1.72 1.78
DWilliams 20.6 22.2 44.5 43.9 23.8 26.4 .177 .167 1.74 1.69
Rondo 19.1 18.3 43.7 49.8 20.2 18.1 .156 .149 1.42 1.39
BDavis 17.4 17.4 39.6 40.9 24.3 23.7 .086 .092 1.23 1.27
Westbrook 17.8 23.9 38.6 43.7 25.7 31.1 .105 .160 1.42 1.84
Kidd 17.2 14.8 36.4 36.0 14.5 15.2 .148 .108 1.17 1.08
Harris 16.2 18.0 34.6 42.7 25.5 24.6 .057 .103 1.09 1.23
Calderon 16.5 16.5 33.8 42.6 17.9 16.9 .111 .091 .90 1.03
Collison 16.5 15.7 32.9 28.0 23.1 22.7 .067 .086 .92 1.11
Parker 16.4 20.7 30.9 35.9 25.8 24.6 .101 .177 1.22 1.56
AMiller 18.1 18.8 30.3 38.1 23.8 21.2 .134 .132 1.32 1.33
Rose 18.6 22.8 30.3 40.5 27.2 31.6 .100 .187 1.36 1.95
Jennings 14.5 15.4 29.6 28.3 26.1 26.3 .075 .075 1.20 1.24
Felton 15.2 17.4 29.5 36.8 19.2 22.5 .118 .099 1.08 1.22
avg 18.0 19.4 36.7 40.6 22.8 23.3 .121 .139 1.29 1.42
2011/10 PER 1.08 Ast% 1.10 Usg% 1.02 WS/48 1.15 e484 1.11
Normally, one year's leaders in any statistic will regress to the mean in the following year. Yet last year's Ast% leaders are up by an average of 10% in that stat, and other stats are similarly improved.
Was there a rule change that allows PGs to have some kind of advantage over previous seasons?
Are they just better distributed this year? Collison, Felton, Calderon, Rose, are now the sole PGs on their teams?

Interesting find and question.
I'd like to see EZPM, ASPM and Adjusted +/- too
and ideally adjusted by an aging curve.
Doesn't offense tend to get a bit better at the end of the season too?
Any positions that declined? I'll throw out a guess out there that center would be the best one to check for possible decline.

I think the list has 9 younger guys and 6 older ones so some y-t-y improvement might be expected.
Paul maybe got more healthy.
BDavis maybe got more healthy and got Griffin.
Westbrook and Rose went with big usage increases.
Felton got to run with D'Antoni and Amare S.
If the top 30 showed a similar increase it would strengthen the case for some change in the way the game is being played.

The average change is not far off that of the leaders. Jennings misses the cut here, with fewer than 182 assists this year.
Dividing roughly into fourths (where the column headers appear above), averages by age grouping:
Code:
Age ss PER AST% USG% WS/48
20-23 9 15.7 17.9 27.5 31.1 21.9 23.9 .087 .118
24-26 10 17.0 18.7 30.9 34.2 22.1 23.3 .109 .130
27-29 11 18.0 17.1 30.1 32.1 24.5 22.8 .122 .110
30-37 8 18.8 19.1 32.0 33.7 23.1 22.8 .148 .144
What led me to investigate whether this PG upsurge is just a wave of good young PG (that's part of it) was the impression that some older PG's are still improving.
And according to PER and WS, the older the better!
The middle-aged group is the only one in decline (but not by Ast%). Note that no one age 29 has improved.
Any theories?

Indeed, breaking the 38 into thirds -- shifting 29 YO to the oldest group, 24's to the youngest -- an age progression is seen.
Code:
Age ss PER AST% USG% WS/48
20-24 14 15.9 17.9 27.9 31.7 21.6 23.3 .091 .119
25-28 11 17.0 18.0 30.6 34.6 22.8 23.1 .111 .125
29-37 13 19.3 18.5 32.0 32.3 24.4 23.1 .146 .130
ss is sample size.
Note the shift in Usg%, last year to this year.
The 29+ players have dropped about as much as the 25-28s have improved.

You've captured a lot of the detail about performance vs age. The Adjusted +/- averages by age block would be another element.
The 29 years olds... will any of them get another big contract? Unlikely. But that would be true of most older too. Only 2 between 27-29 improved on PER. Maybe the impact of contract status hits around 27-29 and then maybe end of career competitive fire often overrides it later? Some of these guys get stuck on teams after a good era at least for awhile. I don't know if it is more than normal, but it might be.

Are the nba scorers more friendlier in general in handing out assists this year compared to last?

More assists per FGM this year than the last two, but less than the two years before that ( http://www.hoopdata.com/teamoffstats.as ... 07&type=pg )

This year, home Ast/FG is .590, and away it's .565. Total .578
This is up a notch from last year : .578 at home, .548 away, and .563 overall.
Last year, however, was the lowest Ast/FG ratio since 1977.
http://www.basketball-reference.com/leagues/stats.html
This year's ratio is 2.9% higher than last year's.
This is not quite 1/3 of the +8.9% observed in top-38 playmakers' Ast%.

The other day, I caught a bit on ESPN in which Greg Anthony and another guy were asked to name the 2 biggest improvers and disappointers in the league. One of the 2 most improved according to one expert was Amare' Stoudemire, and the other guy picked Raymond Felton.
felton he is getting more touches in new york, and his pts/g and ast/g are way up...
but he's shooting overall the same, is rebounding worse, blocking fewer shots, and - went from being the starting PG on the league's best defensive team to the starting PG on the league's currently 9th worst team defensively...
how much of that drop in defense is due to him?...

Last year's Knicks were 27th; this year they've risen to 21st. The Bobcats have dropped from 1st to 14th this year.
If this were all due to one moving player, he'd be an elite defensive player.
In Charlotte, Felton cut down his 3FGA every year for 4 years. By last year, his FG% had risen to .456. His 3fg% was up to .385.
This year, career high 3FGA rates, but down to .331 accuracy. Total FG% down to .424.
Last year, he averaged 17.6 Pts/48 while the rest of the NBA managed 93.8 (vs Cha) . That's .188 of what opponents scored.
This year, the ratio is 21.5 to 106.1, or .203 .
From somewhat below average to barely average as a scorer, an increase of 8%.
As the Knicks' designated passer, his Ast% is up 25%, from .295 to .368.
TO% is up only 9%.

Felton looked great early but has regressed since the first couple of months. That someone would say he's one of the most improved shows two things: 1) people are too quick to make judgements and 2) slower to change them once new data are available.

That's about right. On Dec. 27, he appeared at the bottom of the top 21, and his eW/484 was at 1.30 .
I've now got him at 1.22 . Compared to last year's 1.08, his improvement is only 64% as great as it was after 2 months.
His numbers (PER, WS/48, e484) are steady since a Jan. 29 report, above (p.2).

I've been noticing an unusual number of point guards in the most improved lists, and I worry that it's just that eWins has an improved value for assists this year.
But the magnitude of the improvement seems too large still. Looking for corroboration or rebuttal, here are last year's top 15 Ast% among point guards, and other relevant numbers last year and this year.
Code:
PER Ast% Usg% WS/48 e484
2010 2011 2010 2011 2010 2011 2010 2011 2010 2011
Nash 21.6 23.6 50.9 54.7 22.9 23.0 .178 .195 1.56 1.64
Paul 23.7 25.0 45.4 46.6 22.2 21.2 .204 .263 1.72 1.78
DWilliams 20.6 22.2 44.5 43.9 23.8 26.4 .177 .167 1.74 1.69
Rondo 19.1 18.3 43.7 49.8 20.2 18.1 .156 .149 1.42 1.39
BDavis 17.4 17.4 39.6 40.9 24.3 23.7 .086 .092 1.23 1.27
Westbrook 17.8 23.9 38.6 43.7 25.7 31.1 .105 .160 1.42 1.84
Kidd 17.2 14.8 36.4 36.0 14.5 15.2 .148 .108 1.17 1.08
Harris 16.2 18.0 34.6 42.7 25.5 24.6 .057 .103 1.09 1.23
Calderon 16.5 16.5 33.8 42.6 17.9 16.9 .111 .091 .90 1.03
Collison 16.5 15.7 32.9 28.0 23.1 22.7 .067 .086 .92 1.11
Parker 16.4 20.7 30.9 35.9 25.8 24.6 .101 .177 1.22 1.56
AMiller 18.1 18.8 30.3 38.1 23.8 21.2 .134 .132 1.32 1.33
Rose 18.6 22.8 30.3 40.5 27.2 31.6 .100 .187 1.36 1.95
Jennings 14.5 15.4 29.6 28.3 26.1 26.3 .075 .075 1.20 1.24
Felton 15.2 17.4 29.5 36.8 19.2 22.5 .118 .099 1.08 1.22
avg 18.0 19.4 36.7 40.6 22.8 23.3 .121 .139 1.29 1.42
2011/10 PER 1.08 Ast% 1.10 Usg% 1.02 WS/48 1.15 e484 1.11
Normally, one year's leaders in any statistic will regress to the mean in the following year. Yet last year's Ast% leaders are up by an average of 10% in that stat, and other stats are similarly improved.
Was there a rule change that allows PGs to have some kind of advantage over previous seasons?
Are they just better distributed this year? Collison, Felton, Calderon, Rose, are now the sole PGs on their teams?

Interesting find and question.
I'd like to see EZPM, ASPM and Adjusted +/- too
and ideally adjusted by an aging curve.
Doesn't offense tend to get a bit better at the end of the season too?
Any positions that declined? I'll throw out a guess out there that center would be the best one to check for possible decline.

I think the list has 9 younger guys and 6 older ones so some y-t-y improvement might be expected.
Paul maybe got more healthy.
BDavis maybe got more healthy and got Griffin.
Westbrook and Rose went with big usage increases.
Felton got to run with D'Antoni and Amare S.
If the top 30 showed a similar increase it would strengthen the case for some change in the way the game is being played.

2011/2010 PER 1.043 Ast% 1.089 Usg% 1.011 WS/48 1.075
The average change is not far off that of the leaders. Jennings misses the cut here, with fewer than 182 assists this year.
Dividing roughly into fourths (where the column headers appear above), averages by age grouping:
Code:
Age ss PER AST% USG% WS/48
20-23 9 15.7 17.9 27.5 31.1 21.9 23.9 .087 .118
24-26 10 17.0 18.7 30.9 34.2 22.1 23.3 .109 .130
27-29 11 18.0 17.1 30.1 32.1 24.5 22.8 .122 .110
30-37 8 18.8 19.1 32.0 33.7 23.1 22.8 .148 .144
What led me to investigate whether this PG upsurge is just a wave of good young PG (that's part of it) was the impression that some older PG's are still improving.
And according to PER and WS, the older the better!
The middle-aged group is the only one in decline (but not by Ast%). Note that no one age 29 has improved.
Any theories?

Indeed, breaking the 38 into thirds -- shifting 29 YO to the oldest group, 24's to the youngest -- an age progression is seen.
Code:
Age ss PER AST% USG% WS/48
20-24 14 15.9 17.9 27.9 31.7 21.6 23.3 .091 .119
25-28 11 17.0 18.0 30.6 34.6 22.8 23.1 .111 .125
29-37 13 19.3 18.5 32.0 32.3 24.4 23.1 .146 .130
ss is sample size.
Note the shift in Usg%, last year to this year.
The 29+ players have dropped about as much as the 25-28s have improved.

You've captured a lot of the detail about performance vs age. The Adjusted +/- averages by age block would be another element.
The 29 years olds... will any of them get another big contract? Unlikely. But that would be true of most older too. Only 2 between 27-29 improved on PER. Maybe the impact of contract status hits around 27-29 and then maybe end of career competitive fire often overrides it later? Some of these guys get stuck on teams after a good era at least for awhile. I don't know if it is more than normal, but it might be.

Are the nba scorers more friendlier in general in handing out assists this year compared to last?

More assists per FGM this year than the last two, but less than the two years before that ( http://www.hoopdata.com/teamoffstats.as ... 07&type=pg )

This year, home Ast/FG is .590, and away it's .565. Total .578
This is up a notch from last year : .578 at home, .548 away, and .563 overall.
Last year, however, was the lowest Ast/FG ratio since 1977.
http://www.basketball-reference.com/leagues/stats.html
This year's ratio is 2.9% higher than last year's.
This is not quite 1/3 of the +8.9% observed in top-38 playmakers' Ast%.

The average change is not far off that of the leaders. Jennings misses the cut here, with fewer than 182 assists this year.
Dividing roughly into fourths (where the column headers appear above), averages by age grouping:
Code:
Age ss PER AST% USG% WS/48
20-23 9 15.7 17.9 27.5 31.1 21.9 23.9 .087 .118
24-26 10 17.0 18.7 30.9 34.2 22.1 23.3 .109 .130

30-37 8 18.8 19.1 32.0 33.7 23.1 22.8 .148 .144
What led me to investigate whether this PG upsurge is just a wave of good young PG (that's part of it) was the impression that some older PG's are still improving.
And according to PER and WS, the older the better!
The middle-aged group is the only one in decline (but not by Ast%). Note that no one age 29 has improved.
Any theories?

Indeed, breaking the 38 into thirds -- shifting 29 YO to the oldest group, 24's to the youngest -- an age progression is seen.
Code:
Age ss PER AST% USG% WS/48
20-24 14 15.9 17.9 27.9 31.7 21.6 23.3 .091 .119
25-28 11 17.0 18.0 30.6 34.6 22.8 23.1 .111 .125
29-37 13 19.3 18.5 32.0 32.3 24.4 23.1 .146 .130
ss is sample size.
Note the shift in Usg%, last year to this year.
The 29+ players have dropped about as much as the 25-28s have improved.

You've captured a lot of the detail about performance vs age. The Adjusted +/- averages by age block would be another element.
The 29 years olds... will any of them get another big contract? Unlikely. But that would be true of most older too. Only 2 between 27-29 improved on PER. Maybe the impact of contract status hits around 27-29 and then maybe end of career competitive fire often overrides it later? Some of these guys get stuck on teams after a good era at least for awhile. I don't know if it is more than normal, but it might be.

Are the nba scorers more friendlier in general in handing out assists this year compared to last?

More assists per FGM this year than the last two, but less than the two years before that ( http://www.hoopdata.com/teamoffstats.as ... 07&type=pg )

This year, home Ast/FG is .590, and away it's .565. Total .578
This is up a notch from last year : .578 at home, .548 away, and .563 overall.
Last year, however, was the lowest Ast/FG ratio since 1977.
http://www.basketball-reference.com/leagues/stats.html
This year's ratio is 2.9% higher than last year's.
This is not quite 1/3 of the +8.9% observed in top-38 playmakers' Ast%.

If guards are universally getting more assists this year, someone must be getting less.
Applying to forwards the standards of >40 Ast and >10 Ast% this year and last year, there are 98 player-seasons. 37 forwards qualify both last year and this year.
Of the 37, 22 (60%) have higher ast% this season.
23 of 37 with >10 Ast% and >1.1 Ast/G have higher Ast% this year.

Battier was near the bottom of the list, just based on his Houston minutes. He's not done as well in Memphis (6 G), but he'd be somewhere in the 18-20 ranking.
Players with split seasons last year (Stevenson Was/Dal, Martin Sac/Hou) show full season rates from 2009-10.

Seeing this list still dominated by guards -- PG's especially -- may as well break them out by position, and do totals by position.
Code:
eW+ point G eW+ shooting G
3.32 Rose,Derrick 2.36 Gordon,Eric

-.91 Billups,Chauncey -2.01 Bell,Raja
-1.29 Ridnour,Luke -2.61 Wade,Dwyane
27.75 total PG 12.78 total SG
Showing just players with more than 1 win added (or lost) relative to last year's win-producing rates (in this season's minutes played).
A few extras to optimize space.
In a strange progression from smallest players to largest, the positions which have a net negative loss of contributions:
Code:
eW+ small F eW+ power F eW+ Center
1.20 Battier,Shane 1.32 Love,Kevin 1.60 Chandler,Tyson

Is there a sea change in the NBA? Are bigs becoming obsolete?

It's my understanding that eW is not a rate stat -- it doesn't adjust at all for the # of minutes/games played.
Accordingly, some of the players who lost eW are due to injury, such as Boozer and Nowitzki. If you adjusted for the # of minutes played, you would get very different result

Not so -- eWins is productivity (per minute) * minutes.
As stated above --
Quote:

Boozer's eWins per 484 minutes are down from 2.23 last year to 1.86 this year. His eW+ is therefore :
(1.86-2.23)*Min/484 = (-.37)*1422/484 = -1.08
If he were as good this year as he was last year, after 1422 minutes from him, the Bulls could expect to have 1.08 more wins.
If he'd played more minutes at 1.86 eW/484, his eW would be even more reduced from last year.

Over at http://www.basketballprospectus.com/art ... cleid=1635
there may be a discussion of Most Improved, but you have to pay $20 to read past this (or to leave a comment) --
Quote:
The NBA's Most Improved Player award often goes to someone whose points per game increased significantly from the previous year. It seems all other factors are secondary.
To name just a few examples, players like Marcin Gortat (3.6 points per game last season to 9.8 points per game this season), Jodie Meeks (4.7 to 10.6) and Dorell Wright (7.1 to 16.2) have garnered MIP consideration this year. But a closer examination indicates their actual improvement may be overrated.
Gortat's points per game have increased 172 percent, but his scoring attempts* per game have increased 221 percent.
Meeks' points per game have increased 126 percent, but his scoring attempts* per game have increased 375 percent.
These opening lines are apparently teasers, to make us want to read more. Those asterisks must be powerful.

So, does anyone know how to get hold of these Prospectus folks?
If a player's TS% has gone up, it's not possible for his attempts to increase by a greater % than his points have increased.

If he were as good this year as he was last year, after 1422 minutes from him, the Bulls could expect to have 1.08 more wins.
If he'd played more minutes at 1.86 eW/484, his eW would be even more reduced from last year.

That's about right. On Dec. 27, he appeared at the bottom of the top 21, and his eW/484 was at 1.30 .
I've now got him at 1.22 . Compared to last year's 1.08, his improvement is only 64% as great as it was after 2 months.
His numbers (PER, WS/48, e484) are steady since a Jan. 29 report, above (p.2).

I've been noticing an unusual number of point guards in the most improved lists, and I worry that it's just that eWins has an improved value for assists this year.
But the magnitude of the improvement seems too large still. Looking for corroboration or rebuttal, here are last year's top 15 Ast% among point guards, and other relevant numbers last year and this year.
Code:
PER Ast% Usg% WS/48 e484
2010 2011 2010 2011 2010 2011 2010 2011 2010 2011
Nash 21.6 23.6 50.9 54.7 22.9 23.0 .178 .195 1.56 1.64
Paul 23.7 25.0 45.4 46.6 22.2 21.2 .204 .263 1.72 1.78
DWilliams 20.6 22.2 44.5 43.9 23.8 26.4 .177 .167 1.74 1.69
Rondo 19.1 18.3 43.7 49.8 20.2 18.1 .156 .149 1.42 1.39
BDavis 17.4 17.4 39.6 40.9 24.3 23.7 .086 .092 1.23 1.27
Westbrook 17.8 23.9 38.6 43.7 25.7 31.1 .105 .160 1.42 1.84
Kidd 17.2 14.8 36.4 36.0 14.5 15.2 .148 .108 1.17 1.08
Harris 16.2 18.0 34.6 42.7 25.5 24.6 .057 .103 1.09 1.23
Calderon 16.5 16.5 33.8 42.6 17.9 16.9 .111 .091 .90 1.03
Collison 16.5 15.7 32.9 28.0 23.1 22.7 .067 .086 .92 1.11
Parker 16.4 20.7 30.9 35.9 25.8 24.6 .101 .177 1.22 1.56
AMiller 18.1 18.8 30.3 38.1 23.8 21.2 .134 .132 1.32 1.33
Rose 18.6 22.8 30.3 40.5 27.2 31.6 .100 .187 1.36 1.95
Jennings 14.5 15.4 29.6 28.3 26.1 26.3 .075 .075 1.20 1.24
Felton 15.2 17.4 29.5 36.8 19.2 22.5 .118 .099 1.08 1.22
avg 18.0 19.4 36.7 40.6 22.8 23.3 .121 .139 1.29 1.42
2011/10 PER 1.08 Ast% 1.10 Usg% 1.02 WS/48 1.15 e484 1.11
Normally, one year's leaders in any statistic will regress to the mean in the following year. Yet last year's Ast% leaders are up by an average of 10% in that stat, and other stats are similarly improved.
Was there a rule change that allows PGs to have some kind of advantage over previous seasons?
Are they just better distributed this year? Collison, Felton, Calderon, Rose, are now the sole PGs on their teams?

Interesting find and question.
I'd like to see EZPM, ASPM and Adjusted +/- too
and ideally adjusted by an aging curve.
Doesn't offense tend to get a bit better at the end of the season too?
Any positions that declined? I'll throw out a guess out there that center would be the best one to check for possible decline.

I think the list has 9 younger guys and 6 older ones so some y-t-y improvement might be expected.
Paul maybe got more healthy.
BDavis maybe got more healthy and got Griffin.
Westbrook and Rose went with big usage increases.
Felton got to run with D'Antoni and Amare S.
If the top 30 showed a similar increase it would strengthen the case for some change in the way the game is being played.

2011/2010 PER 1.043 Ast% 1.089 Usg% 1.011 WS/48 1.075
The average change is not far off that of the leaders. Jennings misses the cut here, with fewer than 182 assists this year.
Dividing roughly into fourths (where the column headers appear above), averages by age grouping:
Code:
Age ss PER AST% USG% WS/48
20-23 9 15.7 17.9 27.5 31.1 21.9 23.9 .087 .118
24-26 10 17.0 18.7 30.9 34.2 22.1 23.3 .109 .130
27-29 11 18.0 17.1 30.1 32.1 24.5 22.8 .122 .110
30-37 8 18.8 19.1 32.0 33.7 23.1 22.8 .148 .144
What led me to investigate whether this PG upsurge is just a wave of good young PG (that's part of it) was the impression that some older PG's are still improving.
And according to PER and WS, the older the better!
The middle-aged group is the only one in decline (but not by Ast%). Note that no one age 29 has improved.
Any theories?

Indeed, breaking the 38 into thirds -- shifting 29 YO to the oldest group, 24's to the youngest -- an age progression is seen.
Code:
Age ss PER AST% USG% WS/48
20-24 14 15.9 17.9 27.9 31.7 21.6 23.3 .091 .119
25-28 11 17.0 18.0 30.6 34.6 22.8 23.1 .111 .125
29-37 13 19.3 18.5 32.0 32.3 24.4 23.1 .146 .130
ss is sample size.
Note the shift in Usg%, last year to this year.
The 29+ players have dropped about as much as the 25-28s have improved.

You've captured a lot of the detail about performance vs age. The Adjusted +/- averages by age block would be another element.
The 29 years olds... will any of them get another big contract? Unlikely. But that would be true of most older too. Only 2 between 27-29 improved on PER. Maybe the impact of contract status hits around 27-29 and then maybe end of career competitive fire often overrides it later? Some of these guys get stuck on teams after a good era at least for awhile. I don't know if it is more than normal, but it might be.

Are the nba scorers more friendlier in general in handing out assists this year compared to last?

More assists per FGM this year than the last two, but less than the two years before that ( http://www.hoopdata.com/teamoffstats.as ... 07&type=pg )

This year, home Ast/FG is .590, and away it's .565. Total .578
This is up a notch from last year : .578 at home, .548 away, and .563 overall.
Last year, however, was the lowest Ast/FG ratio since 1977.
http://www.basketball-reference.com/leagues/stats.html
This year's ratio is 2.9% higher than last year's.
This is not quite 1/3 of the +8.9% observed in top-38 playmakers' Ast%.

If guards are universally getting more assists this year, someone must be getting less.
Applying to forwards the standards of >40 Ast and >10 Ast% this year and last year, there are 98 player-seasons. 37 forwards qualify both last year and this year.
Of the 37, 22 (60%) have higher ast% this season.
23 of 37 with >10 Ast% and >1.1 Ast/G have higher Ast% this year.

These updates are a lot more work with all the players being traded.
Early front runner Eric Gordon has run into injuries.

Battier was near the bottom of the list, just based on his Houston minutes. He's not done as well in Memphis (6 G), but he'd be somewhere in the 18-20 ranking.
Players with split seasons last year (Stevenson Was/Dal, Martin Sac/Hou) show full season rates from 2009-10.

Seeing this list still dominated by guards -- PG's especially -- may as well break them out by position, and do totals by position.
Code:

-.91 Billups,Chauncey -2.01 Bell,Raja
-1.29 Ridnour,Luke -2.61 Wade,Dwyane
27.75 total PG 12.78 total SG
Showing just players with more than 1 win added (or lost) relative to last year's win-producing rates (in this season's minutes played).
A few extras to optimize space.
In a strange progression from smallest players to largest, the positions which have a net negative loss of contributions:
Code:

Is there a sea change in the NBA? Are bigs becoming obsolete?

It's my understanding that eW is not a rate stat -- it doesn't adjust at all for the # of minutes/games played.
Accordingly, some of the players who lost eW are due to injury, such as Boozer and Nowitzki. If you adjusted for the # of minutes played, you would get very different result

Not so -- eWins is productivity (per minute) * minutes.
As stated above --

Boozer's eWins per 484 minutes are down from 2.23 last year to 1.86 this year. His eW+ is therefore :
(1.86-2.23)*Min/484 = (-.37)*1422/484 = -1.08
If he were as good this year as he was last year, after 1422 minutes from him, the Bulls could expect to have 1.08 more wins.
If he'd played more minutes at 1.86 eW/484, his eW would be even more reduced from last year.

Over at http://www.basketballprospectus.com/art ... cleid=1635
there may be a discussion of Most Improved, but you have to pay $20 to read past this (or to leave a comment) --
Quote:
The NBA's Most Improved Player award often goes to someone whose points per game increased significantly from the previous year. It seems all other factors are secondary.
To name just a few examples, players like Marcin Gortat (3.6 points per game last season to 9.8 points per game this season), Jodie Meeks (4.7 to 10.6) and Dorell Wright (7.1 to 16.2) have garnered MIP consideration this year. But a closer examination indicates their actual improvement may be overrated.
Gortat's points per game have increased 172 percent, but his scoring attempts* per game have increased 221 percent.
Meeks' points per game have increased 126 percent, but his scoring attempts* per game have increased 375 percent.
These opening lines are apparently teasers, to make us want to read more. Those asterisks must be powerful.

So, does anyone know how to get hold of these Prospectus folks?
If a player's TS% has gone up, it's not possible for his attempts to increase by a greater % than his points have increased.
