Player Efficiency Rating. For those not familiar...The player efficiency rating (PER) is an all-in-one basketball rating, which attempts to boil down all of a player's contributions into one number. Using a detailed formula, Hollinger developed a system that rates every player's statistical performance. PER takes into account positive accomplishments, such as field goals, free throws, 3-pointers, assists, rebounds, blocks and steals, and negative ones, such as missed shots, turnovers and personal fouls. The formula adds positive stats and subtracts negative ones through a statistical point value system. The rating for each player is then adjusted to a per-minute basis so that, for example, substitutes can be compared with starters in playing time debates. It is also adjusted for the team's pace. In the end, one number sums up the players' statistical accomplishments for that season.
1. Vince Hunter UTEP 27.3
2. Alex Hamilton LTU 25.1
3. Adrian Diaz FIU 24.7
4. George Fant WKU 24.1
5. Trey Freeman ODU 22.7
6. Kaj-Bjorn Sherman UTSA 22.6
7. TJ Price WKU 22.1
Effective FG percentage: Effective Field Goal Percentage; the formula is (FG + 0.5 * 3P) / FGA. This statistic adjusts for the fact that a 3-point field goal is worth one more point than a 2-point field goal. For example, suppose Player A goes 4 for 10 with 2 threes, while Player B goes 5 for 10 with 0 threes. Each player would have 10 points from field goals, and thus would have the same effective field goal percentage (50%).
1. TJ Price WKU .579
2. Vince Hunter UTEP .566
3. Matt Bingaya USM .527
4. Alex Hamilton LTU .526
5. Raheem Appleby LTU .524
6. Jeromie Hill UTSA .520
7. George Fant WKU .503
Offensive Rebound Percentage: ORB% (available since the 1970-71 season in the NBA); the formula is 100 * (ORB * (Tm MP / 5)) / (MP * (Tm ORB + Opp DRB)). Offensive rebound percentage is an estimate of the percentage of available offensive rebounds a player grabbed while he was on the floor.
1. Denzell Taylor ODU 17.7
2. Willie Clayton Char 16.0
3. George Fant WKU 14.9
Defensive Rebound Percentage: DRB% (available since the 1970-71 season in the NBA); the formula is 100 * (DRB * (Tm MP / 5)) / (MP * (Tm DRB + Opp ORB)). Defensive rebound percentage is an estimate of the percentage of available defensive rebounds a player grabbed while he was on the floor.
1. Vince Hunter UTEP 20.9
2. George Fant WKU 16.8
3. Denzell Taylor ODU 15.4
Offensive Win Shares: Offensive Win Shares are credited using the following formula: (marginal offense) / (marginal points per win). Lebron James gets credit for 424.8 / 30.95 = 13.73 Offensive Win Shares.
1. Alex Hamilton LTU 2.1
2. TJ Price WKU 1.9
3. Marcus Jackson Rice 1.7
