I like Kirk Hinrich and all, but he kept coming up way too close to the top to make it realistic. So, I've changed the inverse percentages to just straight up coefficients. Here's the new equation I've got so far:

17*3PM + 7.32*REB + 8.68*AST + 20*STL + 30*BLK - 13*TO + 4*PTS

Take that equation and divide it by the number of games a player has played and you get a fairly accurate representation of how valuable that player is.

Other calculations:

I've also added a couple other "bonus" calculations... These include:
+10 to the per game avg (as per above) if the player starts more than 75% of the time
+25 pts for FC's, +15 for GF's, +5 for G's and F's, and 0 for everyone else
+30 for 72+ games played, +20 for 62+ games played, and +10 for 52+ games played

I'm working on a way to factor in field goal and free throw percentages.

Can you tell I'm into this?

Count it.
