Are you hoping to discuss your methods here? or just inviting people to post at your blog?

Hey Mike,

Sorry I didn't clarify - just looking for thoughts, feedback, discussion points, etc.

It is a good article. Is it the first?

On the shot creator - maker, the formula really stretches the distribution. On that one I focus on rank rather than the score.

Have you looked at similar metrics and other metrics at bballindex.com? Any variations or additions to those to propose?
