DRAFT PICK VALUE

Below, built off from the previous article (and improved from the previous article):

SUBJECTIVE NBA DRAFT BUST-O-METER

Using my special formula accounting for cumulative player win shares divided by the number of games they played (thanks basketballreference!), I've created a formula that normalizes the value of players drafted between 2000-2012.

Below the jump.

ADVANCED STATS: ROOKIE RETROSPECTIVE, 2012-2013 SEASON

This is going to be an analysis of all rookies who played meaningful minutes this year, using the advanced metrics in the past several posts:

THE OFFENSIVE SKILL LEVEL RATER

So we focused on defense last time, so now let's focus on offense. Let's look at pure jumpshooting ability, explained in further detail here in this graph: http://public.tableausoftware.com/views/jumpshootingmetric/Sheet1?:embed=y&:display_count=no

THE ALL NON OFFENSE PLAYER RATER, 2012-13

So I've created algorithms that attempt to capture a player's on and off ball defense--"soft' defensive stats--this is tabulated through a combination of using nba.com/stats' shots guarded and +/- relative to the team's overall defensive efficiency. Then there's also the "hard" defensive stats--basically a combination of the player's defensive rebound rate and defensive playmaking (steals+blocks+charges) minus their fouling rate, so we can see their "hard" impact on defense. For the "hard" defense, we want to put all players across an even playing field--so I took their numbers and subtracted the average for that position from it (via Hoopdata's player stats) so we could standardize.

Percentage Of Shots Taken
