I don't want to pile on, because I'm sure your work is great, but Jermaine O'Neal being ranked lower than Jamal Magloire or Joel Anthony seems a little crazy. I know you reward efficiency, but Magloire is a non-factor on offense and Anthony is, well....whatever is less of a factor than a non-factor. Not to mention, O'Neal is a better defender than either of them (although admittedly all three are pretty solid in that respect).

As I see it, one player(A) may be better than another(B) in all aspects of the game but let's say both shoot way below team TS%/eFG%. Wouldn't you want both take as few shots as possible?
In my mind the more A and B shoot the more they hurt the team, so it's certainly plausible for B to be the help the team more than A if he is giving up the ball to the more efficient players instead of shooting it himself.
I realize that the entire team might have a harder time on offense if B is in the game and defenders can ignore him but I also think you don't always need 5 offensively capable players on the court (think 90's Bulls with Rodman).
Realizing where you rank in team hirarchy in TS% an eFG% is also a skill!
Based on the numbers below I would say O'Neal is lacking it.

O'Neal, in the last 3 years, has always shot below team eFG% (unfortunately don't have team TS%):
IND 06-07: 47%, O'Neal: 43%
IND 07-08: 50%, O'Neal: 44%
TOR 08-09: 49%, O'Neal: 47%
MIA 08-09: 50%, O'Neal: 47%

Of course it's possible that O'Neal was always on the court with players that were even more offensively limited then he was, but I think it's unlikely.
There are also other aspects in my rating that could have given Anthony and Magloire a higher rating, most likely it was OReb%.
O'Neals' higher Ass% and lower To% don't seem to make up for it.


I see that Rasheed Wallace actually shot above team eFG% so my criticism of his shooting was unjustified.
As noted in the thread for my rating system I am aware of the fact that players who shoot above team TS% but below league average TS% undeservedly look bad.

I should probably have added that he probably also looks bad in my rating due to low OReb%.

That might be worth the trouble to have.
Last year:
Mia .532
Mia other than Wade .526
Joel Anthony .511 and never shoots
Jermaine .507
Magloire .494, almost never shoots

When you can get a 51% shot, should you pass that up for maybe getting a 53% shot?

While shooting below team average is certainly a bad thing, I think you may be oversimplifying it. First, as Mike said, O'Neal wasn't that far from the team average, and there's no guarantee that if he passes up more shots other players will shoot them more efficiently. Secondly, and I don't want to get into it too much because there are plenty of debates about it ( http://www.sonicscentral.com/apbrmetrics/viewtopic.php?t=333 ), but it's not as simple as the most efficient players taking as many shots as possible. A player's ability to create his own shot is certainly a skill (as anyone who watched both Joel Anthony and Jermaine O'Neal last year can attest). Someone has to shoot the ball on offense, and if you have a bunch of high-efficiency, low-usage guys out there, you'll end up forcing players well out of their comfort zones.

My original point was that, especially for an offense-starved Heat 2008-09 squad surrounding Wade, shot creation does have some value, even if the player is below average. I'm not saying it's better than high efficiency, but if I have two players who shoot about the same percentage (and as long as it's not a horrible percentage), but one minds his own business while the other can carry the workload and make things considerably easier for teammates, I'd go with the latter. It's easiest (and the most difficult for statistics) on a case-by-case basis, though.

Why should we have to assume that O'Neal already has the ball?
He could be screaming at Mario Chalmers to pass him the ball while he is battling for post postition. Or demand plays in timeouts.

One could argue that low post players are *supposed* to have a higher TS% because, on average, the ball has to travel further/longer/through more players to get to the low post players.

O'Neal already having the ball and the deciding to maybe pass it up is definitely not the most likely scenario

I thought your argument was that a team would be better simply by one of their high-usage players shooting the ball less, since his FG% was not great.

The counter-argument is that passing up the mediocre% shot does not automatically lead to a better% shot from someone else.

I took the last three years ORtg's and DRtg's from http://www.basketball-reference.com/ and averaged them out 1-30. I then rank ordered the teams in terms of who I think has the best offense and defense, and then according to their ranking I gave them a corresponding ORtg and DRtg. This then gave me a record. It was low by 4 games so then I upped 4 teams by 1 win, and all was right in the universe. I put in the work so I'm going to post the results.

Code:
West            East
Por   58      Cle   58
SAS   56      Orl   69
Uta   57      Bos   59
LAL   62      Det   32
NOH   45      Atl   41
Dal   54      Tor   43
Den   48      Was   42
Mem   30      Mia   37
Min   22      Ind   31
Okl   36      Chi   34

I can't believe why so little love for Boston. they won 66 in '08 and were 44-11(on 65.5 pace) last year before KG went down. they also had many injuries, especially in the front court where Scalabrine and Big Baby were starting caliber bigs. now you're getting back Garnett(and although he looks like he's reacting slowly, he looks fine physically) and they have added Rasheed.

the difference between last year and this is that they had average(at best) defense after KG went down and they're back to historically great status defensively after KG's comeback and addition of Sheed, just like from '08 to mid '09.

their next biggest weakness was poor spacing on the floor and it caused many, many TOs. now that they can use 2 big man with long range they'll space the floor just fine.

so if anything Boston should improve. I'm not sure what you think about their health but people are little bit paranoic, because Pierce, Allen, Sheed, Rondo and Perk didn't miss many games in past seasons and Garnett had first serious injury of his career and he recovered from it.

assuming healthy Garnett I'm going with 65 as a MINIMUM.

can't understand why so much love for the Cavs. poor defensive team in terms of pick and rolls adds Shaq ? a team that based its offense on spacing is now changing 20 foot range Ilgauskas for no-range Shaq ? who's jumpshooting PF with Shaq at the C ? remember the Cavs played mainly Ben/AV with Z/Joe Smith what they gonna do now ?

great defense adding a defensive liability in the middle + offensive spacing screwed up by 2 non-range bigs is just too much to overcome with Lebron's talent. I just don't see it working.

I'm thinkin 55 and early postseason exit(max 2nd rd) unless they make a favorable trade.

other predictions:
-GSW Wolves OKC Sacto and Memphis will have trouble getting out of 25 range
-much more unbalanced West than your numbers suggest
-like LAC(40-50) Suns(40+) Bulls(45+) and Philly(40+)
-don't like Blazers(50?)

eyriq is now highest on Orl, Bos, LAL, Por, Uta, Dal, and LAC; lowest on Chi, Ind, Det, Hou, Min.

2009 wins and Pythagorean-expected are included as 'entries'. In the East, they depart from avg more than any other of the predictions, entirely due to the Wiz' expected (17-26 W) improvement; and in the West, because we all think Houston will drop, the Clipps should improve, dramatically.

Still accepting submissions, up until opening day.

Hey Mike, you should also throw in the results of my 10,000-season sim as another sanity check:

http://www.basketball-reference.com/blog/?p=3555

It made no attempt to account for offseason movement, but used past seasons' SRS data to project team strengths, and played out the 2010 schedule accordingly.

Also, Sportsbook came out with win futures 2 days ago - you should probably incorporate a "Vegas" W/L column.

The lines on Sportsbook add up to 41.67 wins per team, if that's what to make of the 'over-under' lines given. Besides that anomaly, I'm not sure I want to do anything to abet gambling.

I will mention that no team has a Vegas line that's either higher or lower than all others here. Ranked now by how much we (collectively, on avg) expect a team to improve.

Under "sim" is Neil's "10,000 2010's" simulation average, which he linked above.

I took the last three years ORtg's and DRtg's from http://www.basketball-reference.com/ and averaged them out 1-30. I then rank ordered the teams in terms of who I think has the best offense and defense, and then according to their ranking I gave them a corresponding ORtg and DRtg. This then gave me a record. It was low by 4 games so then I upped 4 teams by 1 win, and all was right in the universe. I put in the work so I'm going to post the results.

Code:
West            East
Por   58      Cle   58

you have orlando winning 69 games - and you're from orlando - hmm, i wonder if thats a coincidence.


Coincidence? THIS! IS! SCIENCE! Cool

Now where was I? Orlando fell into an identity three seasons ago with Rashard at the 4 and the 3 bomb reigning king. This is Stan and Otis's 3rd iteration of that model, and the personnel is perfect. No holes, no weaknesses. The Magic had the best defense last year, and the 11th best offense. Now, I think that Boston is going to reclaim that spot as defensive kings. Who else can we confidently say will be better defensively than the Magic? LA Lakers? Cleveland? San Antonio? Then on offense the Magic get Nelson back, replace the inefficient Hedo with Vince Carter, replace Battie with Bass and Anderson, have a shot at an improved Howard, a healthy Pietrus, a rejuvenated Williams, Barnes fitting in perfectly, and so on. Is it beyond probability that the Magic won't end up with the best offense in the league? That is where I'm putting my money. So how many games does a team win if they have the #1 offense, #2 defense?

I don't want to pile on, because I'm sure your work is great, but Jermaine O'Neal being ranked lower than Jamal Magloire or Joel Anthony seems a little crazy.

Sorry for bringing up and old topic but I finally had the time to make my rating system show the details of the accumulated credit.

I will now try to make a case for Joel Anthony against Jermaine O'Neal. I know it's possible that Anthony solely looks better because he played against bench players more. I realize O'Neal is probably the offensively more versatile player and I realize that my rating system may have the problem of undervaluing shot creators.

Nevertheless, shooting is only one aspect where O'Neal looks worse, so here goes:

My rating system has O'Neal, in Miami, as +1.2. The +1.2 means that he created a positive differential of 1.2, over all his games there. Pretty much average. Anthony has a rating of +30. Their difference is ~29.

on the left is O'Neal, on the right is Anthony:
Code:

negative from misses                        -52.969   -8.453
positive from unassisted made shots         25.738   2.802
positive from assisted made shots           15.559   4.615

This is basically the shooting part of the rating system. O'Neal shot alot more and subsequently got more negative credit for missing shots. He got more positive credit for making more shots, but not enough to make up for the negative credit. This is due to O'Neals' below league average TS%. This puts O'Neal at -11 and Anthony at -1
Code:

positive from assists         11.762   5.679
negative from to             -21     -15

O'Neal gets more credit for assists, but he also gets almost the same amount of more (negative) credit for oppoent points after he turned the ball over
Code:

negative from opp made shots               -54.74   -55.444
positive from non blocked opp misses         52.744   58.604

Both players get about the same amount of negative credit due to opponents making shots while they're on the floor. Anthony gets more positive credit due to opponents missing more shots while he is on the floor
Code:

positive from steal               13.5   7.5
positive from team-"steal"         4.2   9.9

"Steal" includes charges. "Team"-steals include forcing all types of X-second violation and passes out of bounds.
O'Neal gets more credit for points after steals and drawing charges, but opponents seem to turn the ball over more on shot clock violations and passes that go out of bounds when Anthony is on the floor.
Code:

positive from blocking             15   15
negative from opp oreb         -16.7   -16.5

both players get the almost exact amount of credit for points after blocks and failing to grab defensive boards
Code:

negative from being blocked         -6   -2.5

O'neal gets more negative credit for opponents' points scored after he was blocked (this was not already included in missed shots)
Code:

positive from oreb         15.5   26

Anthony gets more credit for points scored after his offensive rebounds.
