ESPN's Real Plus-Minus

So I'm kinda a fan of the +/- in basketball. It shows how much your team outscores or is outscored when you are in the game. Granted, there are outside factors to just your play that affect your +/-. From my analysis it looks like ESPN ranks player's offensive +/- as well as defensive +/- to see which end of the floor you contribute on. Here's my look at their stats.

 

First off, Charlotte's Prodigal son Stephen Curry leads the NBA in Real Plus-Minus at 8.59 followed by Harden (8.05) and Westbrook (7.36). Charlotte's leader is suprisingly Cody Zeller, who is 28th in the association in overall RPM.

 

Looking at defensive RPM. I assumed Kidd-Gilchrist would be Charlotte's leader defensively in this category. However, it is actually Zeller. Zeller ranks 13th in the league in defensive RPM. He is in good company as Anthony Davis is 12th and Tyson Chandler is 14th. Looks like Zeller needs to get more defensive respect around here. Unfortunately his offensive RPM is -.05 which is good for 157th in the NBA. Nothing to brag about.

 

Kidd-Gilchrist is ranked 23rd in defensive RPM and 265th offensively.

 

Al Jefferson is only the 63rd rated Center in the NBA. 59th on offense and 58th defensively.

 

Charlotte's top 5:

1. Zeller

2. Kidd-Gilchrist

3. Walker

4. Marvin Williams (0.8)

5. Bismack (.02)

 

 

Surprising? Do stats lie? Discuss.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      PFF made it up just to make Bryce look better. Crazy right? Also I can’t believe you said he played “better.” Careful and you might let a compliment slip…. (kidding)

      re: PFF having Bryce Young as the best deep passer in week 12 Link to original article Excerpt from the article: PFF's passing-by-depth report for week 12 NFL Pro's Film Room Play 1 - Completion to XL running a deep crosser despite multiple penalties by KC on the play Film Room Playlist NFL Pro.mp4 Play 2 - Completion to JT with the pass rush closing in Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Play 3 - Hits David Moore in the hands while taking a shot from new Panthers' DL Ter'shawn Wharton for what would've been a TD Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-02.mp4 Play 4 - This is the first play that folks could attempt to pin on Bryce if not for one detail... this was 3rd & 10 with 9sec left in Q2 (as seen in the screenshot showing the list of plays). Bryce had to air mail it out of the back of the end zone so that there was still time to attempt a field goal before halftime. Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-03.mp4 Play 5 - Bryce places this ball where only David Moore can get it (spoiler: Moore does not get it). I've included the other angle as I was confident that some would try to hyperfocus on this play as why PFF was wrong in their evaluation. Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-04.mp4   Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-05.mp4 Play 6 - Sideline shot to XL but he drops it. Again, both angles included to avoid bad faith misrepresentation. Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-06.mp4   Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-07.mp4
