2014-15 Men's Basketball Player Ratings (Advanced)

[Cdizzle]

Shaq's DBPM is crazy high--small sample size? Shaq's defensive strength? Problem with the metric? Rauno at 3.1 also is a headscratcher.

Rauno has a fair number of blocks. This is all based on box score items, so his BLKs come through for him pretty well.

It's not surprising that Fred took over the lead.

I hope Darius can improve during the post season. His box score plus/minus (BPM), isn't much better than Kelly's.
