All-NBA Teams 2014-15
Posted: Fri May 22, 2015 3:18 pm
How about those all-NBA selections? Who got snubbed? Who got the benefit of playing a weak position?
Rolling up some summary stats, again calling it xyz ...
xyz = (eWins*(PER-5)*WinShares*(VORP+5))^(.25)
... we find that all 15 selections -- 3 teams -- rank within the top 20 in this xyz.Snub of the year goes to Damian Lillard. But 3 of the 5 unselected were guards.
Marc Gasol beat DeAndre in 3 of these 4 measures; but WS really loves Jordan.
