WARP totals for each NBA team. Initials indicate player contributions. Click to enlarge.
Thought I’d have some fun with R today. In the plot above, you’ll find 2010-2011 WARP totals for each team (according to ezPM). The sum of the individual WARP ratings for each player sums approximately to Pythagorean Wins. The symbols for each team are plotted in order, so that players with the most WARP on a team are plotted towards the top (i.e. Derrick Rose, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, etc.). Enjoy!
Brilliant work.
How come the bottom circles are at varying heights?
Thanks! Short answer is guys like Andrea Bargnani have negative WARP…
How many wins would a replacement-level team be expected to have? For ASPM, replacement level is -3.5 pts/100poss, so -17.5 for a whole team like that, which translates into about 5.5 wins over 82 games.
I also use -3.5.
On most of the teams I checked, if you take off the stars and good starters, you get around 10-15 wins.
This is unrelated to this post, just a heads up. In your 0809 csv, the FTA and FTM columns are the same. I recall some missed FT’s that year…
Oh, that’s obviously not right. I’ll look into it.
Do you have the actual WARP statistics listed anywhere? I’d like to see the actual numbers for all the players.
Hey, sorry, your message was caught in the spam filter. I just posted the final regular season data in the csv files including the WARP totals.
