Special thanks to James Brocato of the Dallas Mavericks for running this Bayesian RAPM specially for the development of this new version of BPM! Inclusion of Minutes-per-Game (MPG) in the regression. This prompts a couple different questions that I'd be interested in hearing thoughts on. The regression output is then limited to a minimum of 1.0 and a maximum of 5.0. Finally, turnovers. Create a minutes weight for this estimated BPM. Another way to look at the results is with an interactive chart. BPM uses a players box score information, position, and the teams overall performance to estimate the players contribution in points above league average per 100 possessions played. For what it's worth, Wood graded out as a positive defender this season by ESPN'sDefensive Real Plus-Minus, Jacob Goldstein'sDefensive Player Plus-Minus(PIPM) and FiveThirtyEight's RAPTORwhile being an ever-so-slight negative by Defensive Box Plus-Minus. Before the season was over, Wiggins had caused fits for Devin Booker, Anthony Davis, James Harden, LeBron James and Russell Westbrook in a small sample size. If the team is good, all of the players are assumed to be equally good. If one were to define a "replacement level" for offense and defense, it would be -1.7 on offense and -0.3 on defense though the concept of replacement level for components doesn't necessarily make sense.
