EXPLANATION:

Using player stats, I came up with a way to rate player productivity based on stats per minute played.

 

Based on the official box score, players get various positive rating points for rebounds, points scored, blocks, assists, and steals. They lose rating points for fouls and turnovers. Shooting percentages also effect the ratings, factored by how many shots are attempted. Basically, shooting exactly 50% 2pt-FGs, 33% 3pt-FGs, or 75% FTs equals 0 rating points. Anything above those percentages will increase rating points and anything below those percentages will reduce rating points. The total rating points are then divided by the minutes played and the resulting numbers are game-pace adjusted.

 

I also like to grade the players based on these ratings.

 

A+ is 1.000+ (Star Player!)

A is .750 to .999

B is .500 to .749

C is .250 to .499

D is .000 to .249

F is for a negative rating (doing more bad than good)
