hello stoutguy,

The analysis says nothing about Olson or Young not being strong players.  It just highlights the folowing facts based on this season's game data:

1) Stout outscored opponents by 0.2475 points per minute with Olson on the floor and by 0.1725 points per minute with Olson not in the lineup. (corresponds to a 3 point difference in 40 minutes)

2) Whitewater outscored opponents by 0.245 points per minute with Young on the floor and by 0.2425 points per minute when Young was out of the lineup. (negligible difference)

Rafi, you are correct, a player who is always in the game would not allow a contrast to the team without the player.  The analysis is very different for each player you mentioned:

1) with Raridon on the floor, NCC outscores opposition at a rate of 0.2875 points per minute.  Without Raridon, NCC outscores opponents at a rate of 0.2325 points per game.

2) with Overstreet on the floor, IWU outscores opposition at a rate of 0.2775 points per minute.  In the 213 minutes IWU played without Overstreet, IWU outscored opposition at a rate of 0.3 points per minute. (CAVEAT, only 25 of the 26 games were analyzed because one of the games had missing data)

3) with Peters on the floor, WC outscores opposition at a rate of 0.3325 points per minute. In the 166 minutes without Peters, WC was OUTSCORED at a rate of 0.0725 points per minute.

These numbers give you an understanding of why these players score so differently on the analysis.

Kiko, you are absolutely right on all your points.  Data is not conclusive, but it highlights trends that are worth investigating.

Hello narch,

Sorry, not sure I understand the production vs prevention statement.  If the analysis says a player is +8ppg, it means that based on the trends from game data this season, the team performs 8 points better in a 40 minute game relative to the competition when the player is in the lineup (for the entire 40 minutes) than if the team where to play without the player (for the entire 40 minutes) - this could mean the team wins by 20 with the player and 12 without or lose by 2 with the player and lose by 10 without - the key point is the differential between playing with and without the player).  If a player is even (0ppg), it means the team performs about the same whether the player is in or out of the lineup (this could mean the team wins by 20, ties or loses by 20, but it will be the same regardless of whether the player plays or not as the team performs about the same with the player in or out of the lineup).  If the player is -8ppg (negative), it means that based on this season's data, the team performs 8 points better in a 40 minute game relative to the competition without the player in the lineup than when the player is on the floor for the 40 minutes.

"do you view it as a flaw that a player who averages, say 9 minutes per game but has the same ratio's as cherry would have the same ppg impact, or do you view that as the point?"
- double edge sword: 1) I don't see it as a flaw because the analysis is suppose to highlight the fact that this player, who only plays for 9 minutes per game, is making a significant impact on the team when he is on the court.  The scenario is that this player must not be doing certain things to catch the coaches eye as a strong contributor, but looking at the actual data, is somehow contributing in a way that is helping the team... maybe not scoring a lot, but the team is playing better with him in the lineup.  On the flip side, you may have a player that scores a lot, but the team performance actually improves when they are not on the floor.  An example of this could be because the player takes bad shots, doesn't pass the ball and teammates end up standing around because the dynamic revolves around a good scorer rather than a team effort.  The focus on the analysis is team performance rather than individual stats.  It highlights individuals who help the team perform better... that's the goal of the analysis.  2) the drawback of analyzing a player who only plays for 8-10 minutes a game is the lack of sample size.   Hence, the analysis shouldn't cause a coach to make that player a 35 minute guy, but to possibly start increasing his playing time slowly and continue to watch the analysis.  If his numbers keep up as he is getting more and more minutes, you got yourself a guy who clearly is improving the performance of your team.  If the numbers start creeping down once the player gets a few more minutes, than you can probably deduce it was special circumstances of your rotation or playing in situations like garbage time which caused his analysis to look so strong.

"is there a website where we can view these statistics throughout the season"
- I don't have a website which makes the numbers available, but am happy to deliver team reports via email for a relatively nominal fee.  It takes me a little less than an hour to put together a team report.  During the season, I would send out team reports at night after each game for coaches who requested it.  Reports were usually for their own teams, but sometimes they requested reports on upcoming opposition.

narch,

Depends on what you are trying to measure.  If you are determining what the team with the player does in a 40 minute span and what the team does without the player in a 40 minute span and then take the difference to measure delta between the two, you multiply both by 40 minutes.  You are looking at the difference between rates... whether you want to measure rates on a per minute, per 20 min, or per 40 minute span is up to you.  I prefer 40 minute spans so the magnitudes correspond to the length of a game.

Hello havej,

Derek Raridon on the court correlates to NCC improving its scoring by 6.3ppg, but the opposition also increases scoring at a rate of 4.1ppg - a net of 2.2ppg compared to when Raridon is on the bench.

Dylan Overstreet's presence correlates to IWU improving its scoring by 2.9ppg but they also give up 3.7ppg more than when Overstreet is off the floor.

Hello narch,

If you are going to put this much effort into this the least I can do is the same. 

The analysis is seeking the difference a player makes on the team (impact).  So, it evaluates the team's performance with the player and then does the same thing without the player.  The numbers it provides is the magnitude of the difference based on a 40 minute game (hence, it is a rate difference but instead of using the measure per minute, it is using per 40 minutes).  So, looking at this particular example, with Cherry in the lineup the point differential is .44ppm (17.6pp40).  With Cherry out of the lineup it is -0.29ppm (-11.6pp40).   The difference in these rates is 0.73ppm (29.2pp40).  The difference of the point differential rates with Biberaj in and out of the lineup is 0.4175ppm (16.7pp40). 

Your analysis is measuring the impact of these players on a game based on their average playing time... absolutely nothing wrong with that, but my analysis focuses on highlighting the difference in team performance with a player on and off the floor (not biased by current playing time).  A small tweak could certainly change the algorithm to the "narch system."
