In order to rank each Los Angeles Lakers player fairly and accurately, I’m going to use six different metrics.
First, I’ll show everyone’s per game traditional stats such as points, rebounds, assists, blocks, and steals. I’ll also use www.basketball-reference.com’s Value Over Replacement Player (VORP) and Win Shares (WS) because these two advanced stats indicate a player’s overall impact throughout the season.
I’ll also use two stats from www.nba.com: Offensive Rating (OFFRTG) and Defensive Rating (DEFRTG) over the last ten games, to illustrate which Lakers players have been playing well recently.
Finally, I use a non-advanced stat called My Own Eye Test (MOET) because stats aren’t the only viable way to show a player’s worth.
