There’s probably less than 10 guards in the whole country that shoot 50% from the field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality Is Job 1 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Wiz, I have to agree with 3star: For teams average shooting percentages are meaningful, but for individuals it should take position into account.

Wiz, thanks for running the numbers on certified bucket getters. These calculations validate what Coach 314 said about Javonte Perkins from SWIC JUCO. He is indeed a bucket getter, shooting 53 percent overall....although after finishing 3rd nationally in scoring, 26 points per game, he was ROBBED in not being listed among the top 50 players named as JUCO All Americans. How one can finish third in scoring and not be listed among the top 50 players is beyond me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately , my stats sources don't break it down by position. And while the FG% is biased against guards, it cuts both ways...as the overall rating( the cumulative slash number) is biased against non guards since most can't get an overall rating because of low 3 Pt numbers. Still , the overall rating tends to work . In combination with the individual slash ....together they provide important and valuable information. Let's look at 3 star's list of players...I have used career numbers so they all have large enough sample sizes....Most qualify as bucket getters ( includes FTs) except Cumberland and Hughes both of whom would have made it with better FT shooting. Markus Howard...45/43/90 =178....A+ Carsen Edwards....41/37/ 82-160....B Myles Powell.........43/36/82-161.....B Shamorie Ponds....44/33/84=161....B Charlie Brown.........41/37/ 84=162...B+.

Which is all some of us are trying to point out to you. You can't say 46% is the cut off point for bucket getters because none of these guys, who are obviously bucket getters, shoot 46%. And not even the very best bucket getters on this list get close to your gold status of 50%. So you're forced to flip to the 170 model, not just for three point specialists, but for all guards. And you have to put your thumb on the free throw shooting scale to get it to work out most of the time. Assigning an A+ to an 82% free throw shooter is generous, to say the least. Don't get it twisted -- we still love your statistical models. But when you're this far off from reality, you're going to get challenged.

All I am saying is that there is no model that covers everything.....I personally like the overall model...which is the Combo of the whole slash line....156 is above average(C+)....171 A+...180 Majerus....However it is not fair to non guards ....so I think it is good to use the FG% for them...46% is above average (C+)....50.3% A+. In using the info, I personally would compare guards on the overall grade....and front court players using the FG%.. Again both are biased in their own ways which is fine as long as you understand what they mean and how to use the info...... Comparing like players on the appropriate data charts. Sorry, I didn't mean to make it more confusing than it is...hope that clears things up a bit. Zink likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down a little but still a 168... good for an A Do you have the raw stats?....FGM-FGA...3PM-3PM ...FTM-FTA....Then I could come up with some 2 year stats and grades....large sample size would be very predictive.

Also the numbers are more meaningful as he is playing better competition than most HS kids.....Furthermore, his 3s are real....i.e. from college distance as opposed to HS range.

NH Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Wiz, I really appreciate all the analytical work you do. But wouldn’t it be easier to use something like effective field goal % or offensive rating to judge a players bucket getting ability? Raw field goal numbers feel a little outdated given all the data we have available Littlebill likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raw field goal numbers feel a little outdated given all the data we have available You are right ....Raw data is out dated...but that doesn't mean it isn't still useful....My thing is to convert data into grades...I think it is easier to understand ....not everybody is a numbers person....The slash line is readily available and widely used....Even adding the 2P% seems strange at times but I put it in when I think it contributes some less than visible info. I am trying to keep it simple...Look at the Perkins data posted in the VeniceMenace link above....24 stats...and they don't even list eFG%. ..If you go to the sports reference page,,,,they have 24 stats per section and there are 10 sections....240 variables....overall totals..per game totals...per 40 min . ...per conf games...per 100 possessions... advanced metrics....and yes , here is where eFG% is buried. Look what has happened in this thread...just talking about the basic concept of slash line vs FG%...and built in bias.....many posts spread over a number of pages....can you imagine adding more variables. ...hundreds of posts...dozens of pages. I don't mind discussing built in bias on certain stats or explaining how or what or why I do certain things with numbers.... I just don't want to do it everyday. If it was just you and me , we would be discussing eFG%, Points Produced, Offensive win shares and Defensive box plus /minus. But if we did discuss all these items , I think it would be just you and me on the board. Bottom line....I am going to keep to the basics and try to simplify ... keeping it easy and concise....as they say in football concentrate on the blocking and tackling. NH, I do appreciate the suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old guy Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Wiz and NH let's not lose sight that raw data is real data, ie measured directly. Every other measurement you can conceive of is derived from the raw data available. For example this is very evident in the market, there are only 5 points of data available (high, low, open, close, volume) from which literally thousands of data points are developed to produce indicators (as in averages, RSI, pair deviation or standard deviation, etc...). Whenever a point of raw data is subject to any kind of mathematical manipulation, there are errors introduced in the results. The errors can be tiny, particularly if the number of mathematical processing steps is small, or fairly large and significant, when the results are obtained by manipulating other derived (from primary data) data. This is true for any derived data that is developed from primary data or from prior manipulated data (non primary). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACE Posted April 14, 2019 Author Share Posted April 14, 2019 Camron Justice, a guard from IUPUI hit the grad transfer market. Similar profile to TI - started at P5 school, went to a lower level and excelled, now on to his third school. Averaged 18 ppg, excellent 3-point and free throw percentages. Started his career at Vandy... he's from the great state of Kentucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't do anything at Vandy, but he was solid for the Jaguars. 35% Arc, and 85% FT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
