Player Daedametrics (2038 Season Edition)

[daedalus]

What is Daedametrics? They are advanced basketball metrics for both team and individual performance. They give you multiple ways to evaluate your players and teams. They can also be used as a benchmark to compare yourself to the other teams in the league.



This edition will focus purely on individual players along with a "team" component in that I will highlight the best player for every team in the league in multiple categories. Having an "X is better than Y" argument?

Kicking off the Player edition of Daedametrics is the individual leaders for each category: PER (Player Efficiency Rating), TS% (True Shooting Percentage), eFG% (Effective Field Goal Percentage), Total Rebounding Rate (%), Usage Rate (%), and PlayMaker Rating.

Shocker at #1 PER. None other than Jalek Felton. Mr. MVP Paras had a strong showing as well. The man he was traded for Shaq will look to build on his #3 PER and #3 TRP next year. His usage will in all liklihood decrease given 35.26 is an insane usage rate on a contending team. Marks that high (35+) typically are the hallmarks of a good player on a bad team.

Individual leaders are nice. Team leaders are even better. Enjoy!

Personally Lazar is a bit of a shock. Granted his "6th man" type minutes as a big gave him an advantage over the full minute loads for Lee and Smith. Richmond dominating PER and Usage is absolutely mind-blowing I know  

And now presenting the "Team Daeda" awards for the 2037 NBA Regular Season. "Team Daeda" requires the player to be among the leaders of their position in an Advanced Metric "Rebounding Rate" for C and PF. "PlayMaker Rating" for PG. Those finishing among the elite of their peers are then filtered by PER i.e. highest PER among the top 10 TBR among Centers will be First Team Daeda. For SG and SFs they are voted purely by PER.

The formulas for this section have been heavily revamped. Should be a lot more accurate in terms of the above.

He averaged 28 ppg on .516 shooting. What would lead you to believe he wasn't a prolific scorer?

[itnas123]

Qi in 7th PER and 4th in usage nice!!!!!
Sampson 6th in Rebounding%
