After a hiatus Daedametrics is BACK! Plan on making big changes to the format next season so I can update it more frequently without typing up a massive article each time.
Leading off this edition of Daedametrics is the Power Rankings. Formula is derived simply by calculating the difference between Offensive Rating and Defensive Rating. Higher score the better. More on these formulas later!
Bucks have a sizable lead at the top of the chart while the Wizards and Thunder battle for infamy. Eastern Conference locks up the top 4 spots as well.
The Expected Win Percentage table (EWP) predicts winning percentages via Points for and Points against. This time around I have utilized the Estimated Win Percentage to "predict" the final record. *Note* this does NOT factor in anything other than EWP (your expected win percentage based on PPG and OPPG).
Typically I utilize "EWP" or Estimated Winning Percentage (which utilizes purely your PPG and OPPG in a ratio) to predict how many games you should win. This allows for a REASONABLE picture of the league after about the first third of the season. *Note Standings do not reflect divisions they are sorted simply by predicted record*
Next up is the Team Metrics with Possessions, Offensive Rating, Defensive Rating, True Shooting Percentage, Effective Field Goal Percentage, and Rebounding Percentage listed at the top of the table. The top/bottom three of each category are listed at the bottom of the table.
Last but not least is the pretty chart. A better description is the overall rating for each team. Your offensive team rating is weighed against your defensive team rating. Upper right means you're above average in both.
Bucks are stretching the offensive side in the positive with the Wizards and Thunder stretching to the left. Bulls elite defense stretching the chart with the Wizards/Thunder atrocious defense further making the chart expand.
That's all she wrote. I hope you enjoyed this statistical analysis of the league. Players Edition will be released shortly.
