Advanced Statistical Scouting

Advanced Statistical Scouting (A.S.S.) is used as a quick and dirty way for me to check out a group of players who may be performing at a higher/lower level than what their statistics may not, at first glance, indicate. I would then proceed to investigate further.   Besides, it is fun to say that I like to pull numbers out of my ass.

Scoring

Scr: (Lg. Avg. = 15) - Gives neutral weight to the ability to score (ie. balances out volume shooters vs low-usage efficiency.)

Rebounding

Reb: (Lg. Avg. = 9) - Additional weight is given to those who procure the offensive variety.

Ballhandling

Bhd: (Lg. Avg. = 0) - A negative rating isn't a death sentence but it is a sign that someone else on the team needs to be handling the ball and playmaking.

Disruptive Defense

Dsrp: (Lg. Avg. = 4) - Players with a rating </= 4 aren't necessarily bad defenders, they just need to compensate for their inability to make consistent defensive plays with very good team defense.
