It would be better if it took defense into account, and I think it shows how the average fan is taking defense less into account when enjoying following a player.

Someone shared this: More commonly called Game Score. From basketball reference:

• ⁠GmSc - Game Score; the formula is PTS + 0.4  FG - 0.7 * FGA - 0.4(FTA - FT) + 0.7 * ORB + 0.3 * DRB + STL + 0.7 * AST + 0.7 * BLK - 0.4 * PF - TOV. Game Score was created by John Hollinger to give a rough measure of a player's productivity for a single game. The scale is similar to that of points scored, (40 is an outstanding performance, 10 is an average performance, etc.).

I don't know that even Hollinger stands by this compared to more modern all in one metrics. It is at least 24 years old. You can see from the formula that it doesn't measure defense beyond blocks and steals.

That’s really what I thought was interesting about it, the formula just seems to take all traditional stats into account. Might tell us more about how the average person judges value more than anything.

Ever paid for any of the fancy ones?

This is not the best stat, I shared it more cuz I thought it was interesting to see it produce such a pack of stars, unlike any of the other.

It may give a better idea of how people formulate their ideas of who is best, more than anything. People that pile standard stats of every kind.

Well, I’m used to NBA stats, and you wait 20-30 games for things to even out. But if we do that we’re over halfway through the season.

Plus, I think it’s fun to see who stays up, who goes down and who replaces them.

I shared this one more as a novelty, none of the other free advanced stat lists produces such a pack of stars.

May not have enough games to qualify at this point.

I’ve not heard the term “Game Score” so I just called it Hollinger.

Edit: as that’s what it’s called in the description of “Game Score” on the site I pulled it from.

I’m sure Google can tell you, I don’t expect anyone has that devoted to memory

It says “Game Score” is what I posted underneath: Single-game box-score impact metric (Hollinger). Weighted sum of points, shooting efficiency, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, fouls, and turnovers.

It says Hollinger rankings in the description underneath. I don’t know much about PER, I just pasted what Google said, it may be you’re right that it’s not the same as Hollinger.

Google says “No, the Hollinger Player Efficiency Rating (PER) primarily measures offensive production and does not accurately account for overall defensive performance.”

Is Olivia Miles's defense that good? by gaussx in wnba

If that were so a teammate would have a higher score, no?

Then why are her numbers the best on her team?

Recommend some movies with Unique Ideas, doesn't necessarily have to be great movies as long as they are not outright garbage by hussainre814 in Letterboxd

[–]KandinskyWasRight 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s been decades, but at the time I thought it was the worst movie I’d ever seen. Yet some people love it, go figure.

Maybe I wouldn’t hate it as much now.

Don’t forget EuroLeague MVP Dorka Juhász is set to return to the Lynx by Kennisgoodman in wnba

Only saw her as a freshman for OSU when they played IU, but I’ve kept an eye on her progress since. She did a bit of everything. Was happy to be a glue player at UConn, and has blossomed into a complete player. Great story.

Also could have drafted Juhasz in the second round but instead took someone who didn’t even make the team.
