We are going to summarize this topic, simultaneously with the other topics - see below, with a
revision about the
This rating was developed by Dave Heeran during 30 years
as a way to rate players by using statistics box scores.
Pace factor is an estimate of the number of
possessions per 48 or 40 minutes by a team and its opponents. It is calculated as
follows:
and simply uses coefficients believed at Jon's time
made more sense than using 1.0 for each measure as done above by Heeran.
This modified rating is calculated with basis both on a "per minute" principle
and a "per game" principle:
- the
per game calculation loads more heavily towards players who play
more minutes - from the fact they were chosen to play during the majority of the game -
and therefore highlight their value to the team;
- the
per minute calculation better brings out players who may play less
minutes, but who are extremely productive while in game.
About the Non Scoring Modified Tendex= This rating is the same as above
Modified
Tendex, with the exception
that
points scored factor is completely removed. This system is useful to highlights a
player who may not be a great scorer for their team, but contributes a lot on the another
categories which are extremely important for team success.
On the second part, many players who are high-scorers on their team, but who do little
else but shoot often appears very poorly in this rate. The great players, who in addition
to a high score also contributes in the other categories, do very well in this rating.
Non-Scoring Modified Tendex Rating=
{[ Rebounds + 1.25 * Assists + 1.25 * Steals + Blocks - 1.25 * Turnovers - Missed
Field Goals - ( Missed Free Throws / 2 ) - Personal Fouls / 2 ] / Minutes / Game
Pace }

About the eBA Tendex= The eBA Tendex Rating, in use by the
eBA Statistics Creative
Analysis System, developed by Prof. Roberto Azar over the course of the last 18
years, is widely applied and referred at the eBA System. This summary in only another
contribution to the large quantity of systems used in basketball today.
