Early SPM-Projected 2009-10 Standings, Part II

Posted by Neil Paine on September 14, 2009

Last week, we took a very preliminary look at what our Statistical Plus/Minus projection system saw in the cards for the 2009-10 NBA Season. To project minutes played, we used a very simplistic regression equation that took a weighted average of a player's minutes over the past three seasons and regressed it heavily to the mean. Of course, this is a very rough way to estimate what a player's minutes will be next season; in fact, the standard error of the playing time regression (done on all players from 1978-2009) was 674.8, meaning that the prediction was likely to be off by a significant amount in either direction, too high or too low. As you might guess, this could severely impact the accuracy of the projected standings.

So one suggestion was to treat all starters the same, all backups the same, and all bench-filler players the same -- no regressions based on past playing time trends, but rather use a set amount of minutes based on depth chart position. That's actually something I dabbled in before last season, so I decided to give it a whirl here as well. The premise is that, historically, a team's "starters" (its 5 leading minutes-earners, that is) use 60% of the team's total player-minutes; its "2nd-stringers" (#6-10 in team MP) use 30% of the team's minutes; and the rest of the roster uses 10% of team MP combined. So that's the playing time standard I applied to our SPM projections, using ESPN's depth charts once again to determine which "tier" to place each player in. I'll call these our "talent" ratings, because they do not reflect a player's durability, but rather his true +/- talent and the coach's willingness to play him. If each season goes according to plan injury-wise for each team, here is SPM's best guess at the standings for 2010:

    Manu projects to score a higher SPM than Timmy and Tony combined. Also it looks like Milsap should be getting more minutes than Boozer.

  2. Neil Paine Says:

    I actually don't see any problem with the first statement -- that team got drastically worse when he was injured, despite TP and TD's continued presence. And Boozer is coming off an injury-riddled down year while Millsap broke out and is only 24, so he should only be better this season. PER even rated Millsap > Boozer last year, so it's not really all that inconceivable to say that until Boozer proves he's 100% back to his old form, Millsap deserves the benefit of the doubt.

    Where's Hakim Warrick? It looks like some players are missing from ESPN's page.

    Yeah, they seem to have some weirdness with the Bucks in particular... They also continue to list Amir Johnson on the depth chart (while simultaneously having him on Toronto as well).

  5. Jason J Says:

    I wasn't disagreeing necessarily, just thought it was interesting how highly SPM valued Manu and Millsap. I do think considering Manu more valuable than Duncan and Parker combined is a real stretch.

  6. Neil Paine Says:
    September 15th, 2009 at 9:32 am

    The APBRMetric community has been saying this for years, but I'll reiterate: when Manu is healthy, he actually is as productive/valuable as the general population thinks Kobe Bryant is.

  7. Jason J Says:
    September 15th, 2009 at 1:42 pm

    I'm, but I still don't think he's worth more than Tim and Tony combined. Maybe I'm wrong, but those two players constitute the key to the team d and rebounding, and their most prolific scorer. Not to take anything away from Manu. Maybe I overvalue the greatest PF of all time as he declines in his 30s and Eva's hubby as he continues to have those eyebrows.

    Neil may corroborate, but I don't think you can say SPM is "considering Manu more valuable than Duncan and Parker combined ". An SPM (or any +/-) of zero is not a worthless player, it's an average player.

    This blog sometimes rates players with SPM and sometimes by Win Shares. They give different results. Is there any attempt in the works to fuse the two? Have you guys got an idea of where they most differ?

  9. Neil Paine Says:
    September 16th, 2009 at 9:22 am

    Yes, that's true, Mike. An average player is still above the replacement level and therefore has positive value to a team in the salary-cap era. If the replacement level is -4, then Duncan adds 9 points above that per 100 poss., Parker adds 5.5, and Manu adds 11.

    As far as Win Shares go, that's actually next on the to-do list, a similar projection for the 2010 season using past WS results. I just need to build the projection model. It should be interesting to see where they agree and disagree, though.

    David Lee isn't figured into the Knicks' projection. May have something to do with their last-place 23 wins expected?

  11. Neil Paine Says:
    September 21st, 2009 at 1:36 pm

    Yes, no Lee and no NateRob makes the Knicks a really bad team.
