Ranking the Best UAAP Season 82 Basketball Players Part 1: Points Created
This series will use different advanced basketball stats and metrics to rank the best UAAP Season 82 Basketball Players.
As defined by the nbastuffer.com points created is a linear metric, invented by Bob Bellotti, that evaluates overall player performance. It comprises all current primary and secondary statistical categories: points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocked shots, missed shots (both field goals and free throws), turnovers, and personal fouls. This metric measures overall performance rather than a single skill (such as shooting) or a set of skills (such as shooting, rebounding, and shot-blocking). Therefore, the result is a clear composite of a team or player’s total performance.
Looking at the formula, it is clear that defensive box score stats such as rebounds, steals and blocks are valued highly in the metric. Volume shooters and turnover prone players meanwhile are negatively affected in this metric. We may therefore see more bigs than guards in this metric.
Here are the top 10 players based on the metric points created:
