Thanks,

Can you clarify "average usage" a little. Do you mean over a certain number of games?

OOPS--I wasn't using team totals--now my numbers are in the 24.009098 type.

But still--now that I have usage--what are the best things to do with it?

What should my final numbers look like?

I am getting numbers like 215.3432

If my team played 29 games would the TM MP be 5800? or 1160?

Once I get the USAGE number is that the number I use to figure out individual ORB%, DRB%, TO% etc????

Many of you have been very kind to me by creating spreadsheets for me to plug in numbers. As we approach our off-season player meetings I want to know what everyone here would discuss with their players--both as a way to validate coaching decisions and to motivate players to improve. Here is what I ...

THANKS! I appreciate all the help.

Last question--would you include assists in the formula? There seems to be debate about this.

Thanks so much!!! I am definitely learning to plug the formulas myself now that our season is over!

Last question--would you devide AWS by minutes played per game and then multiply by 40 (college game) for a way to equally measure each players contribution?

Could you put that formula into a spreadsheet for me?

Would somebody be willing to create an excel spreadsheet for me that will clarify this usage issue--something i can just plug my teams stats into and get a clear look?

I found this formula on thecity2.com--it had been referenced before in this forum ■USG% is the percentage of team possessions (POSS) that a player uses either through shots attempts, turnovers, or getting fouled (FGA+TOV+0.44*FTA). So, it’s USG%=100*(FGA+TOV+0.44*FTA)/POSS. Some also count a fractio...

Are there any average numbers? Like Hollinger says the average score is 15 for an NBA player?

Thanks! That will really be helpful! Feel free to create some more spreadsheets like that for team stuff

This is an introductory level question--what is the best way to calculate usage for a player? I used the formula from basketball reference and then the formula from another post on this site and ended up with an 8% difference. According to bbreference the total was 27% and using the other formula it...

I do possessions, ppp, the 4 factors, tsp, and ft rate. I am looking for easy formulas for INDIVIDUAL players--like usage and efficiency stats for individuals. Also--something like Hollingers individual ratings that I can just plug box-score stats into.

I am an assistant coach for a small college. I have really started to use advanced stats to help our team. I understand the basic concepts and formulas. I am not a programmer by any means so it takes me a LONG time to calculate what I want to know. I was wondering if anyone had or could create a sim...
