Weighted metric question (newbie)

Post by micyukcha »

Apologies if this is out there somewhere as I think it is a fairly newbie question. I looked at the glossary and performed some Google/forum searches but came up empty.

In basketball value's playerteam dataset, how are they calculating weighted minutes off the court?

"Weighting is based on minutes played, not possessions, so as not to overweight play for higher tempo(possessions per game) teams."

Is that a sufficient answer to your question?
