improved players 2018-19

[Mike G]

Using multi-year RPM and PIPM, subtracting those values from this season's RPM and PIPM, all gotten from this page:
http://craftednba.com/player-cats/king

Points added above and beyond multi-year expectations in this seasons minutes.
Pts+ = ((RPM-MYR)*Min/48 + (PIPM-MYPI)*Min/48))/2

I set a cutoff at >500 minutes; and the data are a few days old.

The MY-RPM are from previous seasons only; MY-PIPM include this season.
Disclaimer: I can't vouch for any of the data, and there do seem to be some kinks in it.

Players who have gotten big minutes despite sharp declines can also be adjudged as having produced fewer points than expected in their minutes:

Is there a correlation between teams that have a preponderance of over- or under-achievers and the teams' over/under relative to expectations?

Here's a data dump of the 200 veterans with >500 minutes, sorted by team with team total given.
Players with <500 MP are not included in the total, and players traded midseason have all minutes/pts+ ascribed to current team.

Obvious reasons for some of the outliers? -- OKC, Chi, Cha, Cle ...

[walker_harris3]

For Charlotte pts added is heavily weighed down by Kemba Walker's -50 which if I had to guess is currently being weighed down by bad recently bad RPM and PIPM estimates as a result of a 6 game stretch where the Hornets went 1-5 and played like the worst team in the NBA (-17.0 point differential) with Cody Zeller injured. I'm pretty sure that stretch has caused a 1.5-2 point drop in his RPM.

I would argue that Kemba is having a career year and that the -50 pts added above expectation is being weighed down by that six game stretch and doesn't accurately reflect his performance on the season. Essentially CLT is an outlier because recent awful play w/o Zeller is an outlier compared to overall season performance, and I would expect his RPM/PIPM to recover as team performance without Zeller improves (won 2 in a row @SAS & vs SAC with vs PHO on saturday) and when Zeller returns.

[Mike G]

Thanks for the inputs.
I also ran these numbers when Kemba had played 29 games, 1006 minutes. His RPM has since slipped from 3.19 to 2.81, PIPM from 1.3 to 1.1, and his deficit -- relative to prior 4.54 and 2.7 -- has grown from -33 to -50. It's really just more of the same, alleviated a bit by reduction of 1.5 mpg in these last 15 G.

The uptick in proficiency must be coming from players below this survey, i.e., 6-14 in the rotation. According to WinShares, Bridges and Graham add about 2 wins. MKG, Willy H, Kaminsky, and Biyombo all look statistically better this year. Bacon and Monk don't look great but still less bad.
I can't find another Cha player who looks to be doing worse this year.

[Crow]

Vucevic and Vonleh are interesting cases where teams have to decide whether they want to try to keep or sell. Try to sell high but not not be as high as hoped. D Russell too.

Osman really sucks in a big opportunity on a very bad team. What's next? A trade might help but I doubt the Cavs get offered much in return. Maybe a multiple player deal could satisfy both sides in some fashion.

Variation of sum of player values and expected team performance is some combination of change in player performance over expected, coaching, team inconsistency, luck and metric error.

Drops by Tatum, Oladipo and K Walker and are pretty big. None getting a lot of attention. Tatum's drop some.

Nets lock in Dinwiddie when he is playing less well? Russell up by more. Will be costly to re-sign. Assume they will though, now.

Magic don't have any young improvers. Not a,good look for coaches, player development staff, etc.

PIPM is almost always less dramatic than RPM, in magnitude and in change. Also with those producing less than career to date:

my = multi-year

[Crow]

This thread has close blended measurement. Better than anything else out there on the topic to my knowledge. So check here or get less.

[Mike G]

Note that De'Aaron Fox's lead has shrunk since Jan., despite his RPM ticking upward and his PIPM remaining steady at 1.4.
Part of this is due to his multi-year PIPM having this season included; so his improvement has dragged it upward from -0.9 to -0.4; and his 1.4 now looks like less improvement.

It's probably ok to have this as a built-in adjustment for the "but 2nd year players should be improving" phenomenon.
Conversely, a player who has been mediocre for several years and suddenly improves, gets full credit for it, as his myPIPM does not proportionally change as much.
I'm just speculating, because I don't actually know where these PIPM come from.
