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!
Power ratings bear out reality in this case. Bulls are far and away the best team in the league. Wolves and Wizards fighting for 2nd best.
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.
Those Bulls are scary. Wolves on the board in every positive category outside of rebounding. Raptors are bad at everything they should be set for a high pick.
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.
A pictorial display of all of the points above. Lets just say we were all fighting for 2nd. Whether it was tanking (lol Raptors) or winning (... Bulls ...). Both were utterly dominant in their pursuits.
I hope you enjoyed this statistical analysis of the league.
