I also looked at a few players that I think they are detrimental to team-oriented offense and defense despite they score more (because they shoot a lot), they all are ranked relatively low among their team main rotation players (ie, playing 25+ min). Thus, I like your SPM which relatively accurately reflects a player’s value. At least your SPM is much, much, much better than Cuban’s rating system. As soon as I saw Telfair (a backup-caliber PG) and B-Gordon (an extremely selfish small ball-hog) are ranked so high and Roy and the likes are nowhere to be found, I know Cuban’s system is useless. I like your “Versatility Index” which is much, much better than “PER” that overemphasizes scores and encourages ball-hogs. Keep up the good work!
