One More Stat: Composite Score Wins
To make Composite Score simpler to understand, I’ve developed a statistic called Composite Score Wins. The number reflects the amount of wins a player produces over the course of an 82-game season.
It is computed by first measuring the total Composite Score production for each team. Basically, that’s each player’s minutes played […]
New Stat: Value Rating

Composite Score Category Leaders
Composite Score for the 2008-09 season will be posted soon, so in the meantime I’m going to discuss the leaders in each of the six statistics that make up CS. To recap, there are three offensive categories (PER, Offensive Rating, Plus-Minus) and three defensive ones (Counterpart PER, Defensive Rating, Plus-Minus). For each category […]
The Problem with Defensive Stats
The statistic I’ve developed (which can be found at http://basketball-statistics.com/cs.html) was originally just supposed to be about defense.

There are plenty of good rating systems out there […]
