Game charting by Ed Peterson

Ed has charted all kinds of details for every visible play of the Sacramento Kings 2004-05 season. Among the many data points being added into the mix is the "contestedness level" of a shot. There is clearly subjectivity to this, but with Ed's experience and consistent application of established standards we feel confident that the information is meaningful -- i.e. does defense matter with Peja? see how the numbers strike you! We have four basic levels we currently use:

- Wide Open
- Open
- Contested
- Heavily Contested/Double Teamed

With this information we can break out the numbers in a multitude of fashions, but at this early date in the season we will keep it simple:

Explanations: (all stats reflect assigned responsibility to a player).
FGM - Field Goals Made
FGA - Field Goals Attemped
eFG - Effective Field Goal % (adjusts for 3-Pt shots made)
FTM - Free Throws Made
FTA - Free Throws Attempted
T/O - Forced Turnovers (whether actual steals, charges taken, pressed bad passes, travels induced, etc.)
Pts - Points Allowed
RTG - a rough "points per 100 possessions" allowed number for a specific defender.

Data through 3/05/2005. Please note we are missing data from certain games where coverage was incomplete (cutaways, pre-emptions, etc)
