NBL player win shares data

Hey Guys,

just a note on these numbers - each teams wins scores add up to their total wins for the season (give or take a tiny amount). This means that Adelaide have the fewest 'win shares' to give out, and the Breakers the most etc. Which is why someone like C.Jackson has so many compared to someone like Gary Ervin.

Another thing to note, is it is 'wins contributed' - J.Flynn came part way through the season, which is why he would be lower down the list of Melbourne's player, because he didn't have the chance to contribute as many 'wins'.

Thanks for all the feedback

534, were you one of the old men that worked for Oakland in Moneyball?

Agree, Bear. And it flows right on up into the NBA.

Look at the Knicks with Jeremy Lin last season. Carmelo was playing selfish shite and when, he stopped playing, they started playing team ball and doing really well.

Now they all seem to be playing a lot more team ball and look how well they're doing.

Muzz Buzz. Great point.

The win share data may be more accurate in groupings of players (2 at least)

So as you mentioned, corroborating a player with another player who suited up/started in the same games or many of the same games.

What Macdub said

"breakers are so good because they are the national team with 2 Aussies and 2 Americans and a great coach"


Nothing is stopping Australian clubs from going and getting those players.

You can't blame Kiwis for wanting to stay in NZ.

That would be like blaming David Andersen or Bogut for going back to play in Victoria. Or blaming Jawai going back to Cairns or Ingles to SA.

If Boomers/fringe boomers came back to their respective states, you wouldnt hear me saying "The Tigers are so good because they are a state team with 2 imports and 2 kiwis".

If teams can fit them into their salary and points cap..Good on them

Another variation of Moneyball?
