Recalculated Advanced Stats for the 2009-2010 Season

Some of you may recall an article I wrote back in November, when I re-calculated a few common advanced stats using play-by-play data.  That was for last season, and today I will provide the numbers for this season.

The benefit of using the play-by-play data is simple: instead of using estimates for different stats, we can know the real things.  For example, instead of estimating the percentage of Spurs’ rebounds that DeJuan Blair grabs, we can calculate the actual number.  The following stats will be presented: Rebound Rate, Offensive Rebound Rate, Defensive Rebound Rate, Assist Rate, Block Rate, Steal Rate, and Usage Rate.

The numbers are embedded in the table below.  Click the team filter at the top to sort by team.  Also, if you click the arrow in the very top left, you can download the spreadsheet as an Excel document or view it full-screen.

As a side note, for those interested in college basketball, check out exclusive NCAA plus-minus numbers at my home site, Basketball-Statistics.com. Those will be updated in the next day or two.
