Basketball EVALUATION FORMULAS |
Uploaded: 24/12/03 |
Basketball, on the opposite of the individual Baseball, is a game of 5 on 5. To get people open shots will almost always involve the coordinated actions of several players, sometimes all 5. Defense, even more so, is played by all 5 players as a unit. Because of these effects, there is much more potential for intangibles, things which don't show up on the stat sheet, to effect a game. A guy setting a really good pick isn't recorded, nor is the ability to rotate over on defense. This is the first of a serial of articles about statistical analysis and its formulas: this one about Possessions. Assists, Rebounding, Steals and Turnovers and the "all-together" conclusions, will come on. |
