Wayne Winston Adjusted +/- in January
http://waynewinston.com/wordpress/?p=402
San Antonio
Bogans and Hill (-8 Points Ratings) struggled in January. Duncan (+10 Points Rating) played to his usual All Star Level. Matt Bonner missed most of the month but has played at a +10 Points level all year and his return should really help the Spurs.
(Through the lens of Adjusted +/-, let’s review the performance of each team in January. Note that an Adjusted +/- of +10 means the player played 10 points better than average in January; An Offense rating of +5 means his team scores 5 more points per game than they would if an average offensive player replaced the player; a Defense rating of say -5 means his team gives up 5 fewer points per game than they would if an average defender replaced the player.)
The Top 6th Man after 41 games
January 31, 2010

Last week I posted the WP48 and Wins Produced numbers for each player on each team in the NBA. From these numbers we could see that the current MPP (Most Productive Player) is LeBron James (13.8 Wins Produced). And the current MPP for Rookies would be DeJuan Blair and Tyreke Evans (4.2 Wins Produced). Today I want to briefly discuss the top players off the bench (Most Productive 6th Man).
Of the 423 players who have played in the NBA this season, 255 have not started at least half their team’s respective games. This sample of 255 was ranked in terms of Wins Produced (after 41 games), and the top 10 are as follows:
■Manu Ginobili: 5.2 Wins Produced, 0.266 WP48
■Anderson Varejao: 4.3 Wins Produced, 0.175 WP48
■Kyle Lowry: 4.2 Wins Produced, 0.200 WP48
■DeJuan Blair: 4.2 Wins Produced, 0.273 WP48
■Andrei Kirilenko: 4.0 Wins Produced ,0.193 WP48
■Chris Andersen: 4.0 Wins Produced, 0.221 WP48
■Matt Barnes: 4.0 Wins Produced, 0.191 WP48
■Carl Landry: 3.6 Wins Produced, 0.161 WP48
■Omri Casspi: 3.3 Wins Produced, 0.145 WP48
■Luke Ridnour: 3.3 Wins Produced, 0.167 WP48
John Hollinger's (Insider) story about McDyess
http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/post/_/id/12757/monday-bullets-164
Spurs fans will be glad to read this part of John Hollinger's (Insider) story, which reminds that Antonio McDyess has always taken a while to warm up: "Forward Antonio McDyess, who had his fourth straight double-figure scoring game Sunday after putting together just six in the first 41 games, has some of the most extreme splits in basketball over the past three seasons. 'We used to give him so much slack in Detroit,' said Denver's Chauncey Billups, who played with McDyess for the Pistons, 'because the first half of the season we'd be like, 'Where you at, Dice? Summer's over man, c'mon, let's go. Christmas has passed, it's Valentine's Day now, let's start playing.''"
