OFFENSIVE COMPOSITE SCORE

A couple of weeks ago I introduced a statistic I have developed called Defensive Composite Score. It was a combination of three different defensive ratings system with a few adjustments of my own. That statistic is still being developed and you’ll see more of it in the future. Now, I’ve turned to the other half of basketball, the half most people seem to only focus on: offense.

Similar to what I did with defense, I’m combining three offensive rating systems into one. I’m actually using the opposite versions of the three stats I used before: the Offensive rating system developed by Dean Oliver, PER production (found on the team pages here at 82games.com), and offensive plus-minus, also found at 82games. I then adjust offensive rating and PER production for position. Next, I add up the three z-scores for the three stats for each player and multiply them by 10. After adjusting for playing time (whether or not most of it is against starters or benchwarmers), Offensive Composite Score is complete.

Offensive ratings are an incredible measure of efficiency. PER also measures efficiency but takes into account players with higher usage rates. +/- is a great indicator of how well a player is fitting into his team and helping them offensively.

The scores work the same as with DCS, and the average is set at 0.

• -40 and below: Terrible
• -40 to -20: Very bad
• -20 to 0: Below average
• 0 to 20: Above average
• 20 to 40: Very good
• 40+: Elite

Plus-minus stats and PER were found at, of course, 82games.com. Offensive ratings, which were developed by Dean Oliver, were obtained from basketball-reference.com. Player names and positions were obtained from dougstats.com. I used the same adjustment for starters based on the formula developed at the APBRmetrics message board (http://sonicscentral.com/apbrmetrics/index.php).

I will modify this stat in the same fashion that I modified DCS. You can e-mail me at jn42887@bellsouth.net. As always, your comments and questions are welcome. For DCS, I actually used suggestions e-mailed in by different people.

Here is the top 10 overall:
