Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 1256816, member: 289"] Nice to know you're reading it. :cool: I'm open to suggestions on how to tweak it and invite anyone who wants to to post their own version of it. Chino's is based on 38 minutes in garbage time vs. the dregs of the schedule.And it went down sharply last night. I've always admitted the system favors those who were closer to the basket on the court and in terms of height. So does basketball. Rak's average game pr 40 minutes is 22 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks. He's averaged shooting 8 for 14 from the floor, (he hasn't attempted a three pointer) and 5 for 7 from the foul line, (yeah, I know, that's 21 points: I'm rounding off).He's averaged 3 turnovers and 4 fouls. Cooney last night scored 28 points, had 1 rebound, 2 assists, 3 steals and 0 blocks. he was 9 for 16 from the field, including 7 for 11 from the arc. He was 3 for 4 from the line with 1 turnover and 2 fouls. If both had had those numbers last night, who would you have considered to be the most valuable player in that game? "Net Points" has Rak with 24 net points and Cooney with 23. I think that's about right. Are there things not noted in the box score that also had a big influence on the game? Many of them. Cooney keeps a defender busy, battles any pressure, keeps the ball moving, has become the guy we want with the ball in tight situations. Christmas defends the middle, alters shots, also keeps the ball moving. I'm sure players look up to both of them even if they aren't vocal leaders. The intangibles tend to line up behind the most statistically productive players. In any case, I've never presented "net points" as anything but a statistic to look at, just like all the rest. You are free to draw your own conclusions. [/QUOTE]
