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.

      cam Newton makes his return to Madden football

      By micnificent28 · Posted

      Little light hearted topic.. For whatever reason Cam Newton doesn't appear in Madden ultimate team every year for whatever reason like most legends. I personally believe it's due to them robbing him of appearing on the cover of the video game series during his peak years winning NFL rookie of the year and the MVP super bowl run.  Needless to say I'm a huge Competitive Madden ultimate team player spending hours of days crunching numbers and churning roster management. When this was announced it was a lightening rod in the Madden community. Competitive players know Newton is a game changer.. Your talking fastest quarterback in the game and highest throwing power in the game when he drops. That a long with. Unheard of ability at quarterback like freight train the ability to run over linebacker and corners and I was stoked. I m ashamed to say how much money threw at the game to try to pull newton and failed  But it's a big deal seeing as every pro Madden player most certainly has to have him on their roster and the card art is pretty sweet.

      Player-led approach

      A few different ways this can be taken depending on how you view things: Negative: This coaching staff is so inept that players are having to practically beg them to put them in situations that we as fans have been screaming for. How could David Tepper and Bryce Young do this to us? Positive: The coaches are listening to the players who are trusting the coaches! Neutral: Collaboration can lead to good things, so hopefully this starts the upward trend we've been waiting for.

      I've been trying to tell y'all since preseason that Brycen Tremayne is the missing piece. 😛 XL, TMac, Coker, and Tremayne all dumpstering DBs when the team runs out of 10 personnel will be hilarious.
