Player pairs that might have collinearity issues on rpm
Posted: Tue Oct 07, 2014 9:43 pm
Anybody have a database and technique to identify say top 50-100 player pairs by frequency (% of total minutes) they play together? I wonder about it, think it would be useful to know (so as to have more caution interpreting their rpm estimates) but don't have a database set up for easy use of lookup function of total player minutes at the moment. Anyone interested in topic and providing assist?
I noticed Perkins played with Durant for all but 30 of 1200ish regular season minutes. That might noticeably affect their rpm estimates, especially Perk's. I know a few such examples have been noted before by Lewin and others but a fuller list might give more perspective on size of issue / problem.
