In this essay I propose a simple 0-to-5 star rating system for NBA assets. Then I apply that system to the assets owned by the Philadelphia 76ers. Of course, there will be players and picks whose value/number of stars is debatable; indeed that’s where much of the fun comes in! But if we can come close to consensus on the ratings, this will be a useful tool as we can then, for example, compare the Sixers to other teams in terms of their total asset value. Note that a team could have higher asset value and a much worse team, since, for example, a high-quality stashed player might be a valuable asset but contribute nothing to wins this year.
