The 2011 NBA Draft with Statman's ratings

[DSMok1]

Yep, I think you're on the right track. Basically, compile a "translation" for each year to the next as a means of comparing the players. An aging curve. If you've got the data, it shouldn't be too hard. (Is your metric linear, though? If it's a percentile, it could be tricky to "translate" directly. That's why I like to work in points/100 possessions, the plus/minus scale.)

I pretty much went off the cuff with this for a few hours last night - and this is what I posted:

Followed with some results and a little analysis:

I want to do more - actually, much more. My files got corrupted emailing them to myself, so I won't have access until Saturday night at the earliest. So, I'll have to wait until then to do a breakdown of all the players drafted (and a few extras) with their ratings broken down into various skillsets: scoring in various ways (2pt, FT, 3pt), rebounding, handles & passing, and defense - all withing the context of team SoS & pace. That might shed more light about players in differing specifics that my ratings above kinda gloss over in their general single "Score" rating.

I just got some sort of Malware called "Security Shield" after clicking on those two links, so proceed with caution.

That's weird - I've been posting there for years with nothing like that ever popping up on any computer. Maybe my anti-virus stuff just blocks it or something?

As for my files being corrupted - that was completely unrelated - it was just that they didn't fully download when I emailed them to myself, so I had two messed up partial spreadsheets when I got home. I should just bring a zip drive with me when I work away from home.
