I'm not sure what this is worth, but I thought the crowd might at least be interested. I worked up the points per shot attempt for each of the olympic players....
Has anyone worked on projection estimates of 3 point shooting/scoring for old timers: i.e., Bob Davies, Bob Cousy in their historical rankings of players? This...
My previous question about the true shooting percentage for assisted field goals came up because I have been wondering about how to account for assists in...
I noticed that Dean L very generously posted all season stats in csv format in the files section of this Group last year. Just wondering if anyone has access...
Its obvious that Lebron James, Dwayne Wade and Carmelo Anthony all have All-star appearances in their future. My question, is who, if anyone, in the remaining...
I've tended to stay away from the intertemporal discussion, but there seems to be an implication in the last post that there may be an optimal pace or that the...
Just a quick request to those who have read Basketball on Paper. We're looking to go to the paperback this fall and I know a couple people have found very...
A lot of the talk has been about the US lousy defense in the Olympics. It wasn't good, but Serbia's was worse. Puerto Rico's was worse, so was Lithuania's....
This is a copy of an e-mail that I sent to John Hollinger. I apologize for not being more active on the board, and I still owe a number of you reply e-mails...
I know everyone with a rating system is always working on figuring out how to judge a player's defense, so I was wondering how things have been working out....
I wish I could say the below numbers are translatable from one team to the next, one season to the next. But everything I do seems to point to defensive...
It's interesting to listen to sports radio on the Olympic team loss yesterday. Almost all the critique is about the lack of preparation _as a team_ that the...
Just to throw it out there, I did do an evaluation of the gap between the rest of the world and NBA basketball. It's not that hard, looking at the quality of...
I don't know if it's cool to put in a plug for oneself here, but I'm going to be on Steve Czaban's Fox Sports radio show tonight at 9:20. If you're in DC,...

With all of the hate being poured on Carmello this Olympic season (some of it deserved, no doubt, but I start to find it distasteful when every mainstream...
From last years rookie class, who do you folks feel is the guy who is going to breakout in the next few years but hasnt done so yet? Modest statistics and...
Why are some players classified as centers and some as power forwards? What are the criteria? I ask this because I was thinking about the All-Star team and the...
I've put together an Excel workbook which calculates player similarity based on a number of pace- and league-adjusted stats. I've set it up so that anyone can...

Maybe I am slow but I have trouble thinking of players who kill you with long twos but don't shot threes. Either a player has a mid-range game ala Andre...

Thank you for reminding me of Rick Mount. I was at Michigan State when Rick played and I remember the local paper noting that Rick played offense and defense...
How would the teams change? Lets say you throw Webber's 0102 stats into the mix if possible? I know other players stats would change a bit, but lets say you...
I assembled the results of all NBA games between the 1992 and 2003 seasons, for each game noting the number of days rest each team had heading into the game,...
I noticed that earlier in his career he was an excellent super-sub for the Portland Trailblazers. In his third season his PER was around 18.90 and he was...
Having watched Kirk Hinrich in college, I saw him as very similiar to Luke Ridnour, with somewhat better defense. In Chicago, with a coach that believes in...
