-Keeping an eye on adjusted plus/minus -- a calculation of how well a team performs when a particular player is on the floor, compared to when he is not, adjusted for the quality of the other nine players out there. From Basketball Value, we learn the league leaders are: LeBron James, Andre Iguodala, Chris Paul, Steve Nash, Kevin Garnett, Dwyane Wade, Lamar Odom, LaMarcus Aldridge, Russell Westbrook, and Matt Bonner. I don't think there's any perfect way to rank players, and this is still early, but I do think this is a smart approach, and a good starting point for further investigation. The surprises to be this high: Iguodala, Odom, Aldridge, Westbrook, and Bonner ... If I worked in an NBA front office, I'd spend a little extra time watching them on video, in case they might be doing some things that are worthwhile to replicate or acquire.
