from what I've seen, I'm not sure they aren't.I only had to go back one page to find this gem. There are plenty more.
lol. How'd that work out for ya?Sometimes the troll needs to be put in his place.
you keep using that word, ESPN (experts). I do not think it means what you think it means.
Where is that poster who threw out some advanced stats that said a steal was worth 9.1 points? It was only a decade old and has never been repeated but statistics can pretty much be used to tell whatever story you want to tell.ESPN is disingenuous to call this "rookie rankings" when it is clear that this tool's "advanced metrics" are absolutely broken. Offensive rebounds carry WAY too much weight in this, and the proof is in everything from plus/minus rating with the two on the floor, to wins per minutes played. A math geek who got way too high on his own supply.
Nope, that was his second year in the league. His first year he was rookie of the year in the NBA, averaging 28 ppg while playing in all 82 games.Mj broke his foot in the first week of play his rookie year and did not return until late in season.
Just for context.
Plus/minus has to be one of the most meaningless stats out there.ESPN is disingenuous to call this "rookie rankings" when it is clear that this tool's "advanced metrics" are absolutely broken. Offensive rebounds carry WAY too much weight in this, and the proof is in everything from plus/minus rating with the two on the floor, to wins per minutes played.
