Just came across an advanced stats page that's pretty interesting. It's supposed to account for not just player's individual performance but also the performance of the rest of the team while they're on the floor. I'm not 100% sure of the mechanics of the Bayesian model they use, but they have data going back several years. It also has metrics for what position a player is usually playing (probably related to rebounds and blocks) but they also have a predictive metric for if that player is more of a creator or a receiver of offense.
Interesting tidbits... the top players in the country are typically well represented at the top of the overall metrics.
For Tulsa specifically, there have been interesting players that popped out to me. Darien Jackson's performance during the conference tournament season was apparently extremely special for us. Isaiah Hill was underrated in that season. He was a poor individual performer on offense and defense but the team's efficiency jumped significantly with him on the floor.
This season, Curtis Haywood was apparently important for us despite being a no-show in my opinion. Richie was the opposite. Maybe Haith was seeing something I wasn't. Or maybe, the way he was playing the two had something to do with their numbers???
For newcomers, Griffin from UTA posted a HORRIBLE overall efficiency at UTA, specifically related to his poor defensive play as well as the team's poor defense while he was on the floor. Something to watch out for next season. Horne had a decent year for Colorado, but he was more of a role player in terms of his contributions in efficiency and production.
