Comment on Comparing Player Ratings by wdynasty

finally offensive rebounds should be counted as serious defensive stat since…in theory..their offensive rebound amounts to a full stop on the defensive end and a new shot sttempt for the offensive. this should be calculated as a missed shot attempt on the person that they guard on defense! Obviously these challenges are for the best of the best in statistics but major props should be given for the person who creates a system incorporating these fundamental elements of defense in a player defensive rating. I believe offensive rebound, a steal, a forced charge…all should be calculated as missed field goal attempts on the person they are guarding. this is the only true way to measure the true impact of the defensive ACTION ON THE COURT AND ITS EFFECT ON THE GAME. lETS GO STAT GEEKS.

secoundly…did the player hold the man he was guarding below his season’s point per game average. This is separate category and one that is not as important as field goal average but weight should be given. If a player is held below his season points per game average..then the offensive team has to rely on another player to create his offensive production. points should be awarded to a defensive player that causes a disruption in the opposing teams average offensive production per player.

i think it important to calculate if a player hold the person he is guarding below his season field goal average. If he is able to do so then he is an elite defender. He calculate data for all his games and compare how many times in his matchups he hold the player he is guarding below his overall field goal average then you have a good measure. an important aspect to calculate is overall field goal average which means including free throws. just because a player shoot 2/10 from field but hits 10/10 ft’s he overall field goal average should be 12/20. and 2/10. 60percent overall field goal average is alot better than 20 percent and this figure should be calcuated for the entire year. obviously this takes alot of effort and you stat geeks want the easy way out but this is the only way to do it.
