Sunday's Reflexions on Basketball Statistics:
About the Basketball Individual Statistics Underrated or Overrated

Are the individual statistics of good players on bad teams underrated in raw form ?
Are the individual statistics of bad players on good teams overrated in raw form ?

Some reflexions to begin the discussion:

1) Most teams without their best player will turn down the averages than with and probably lower than league average with the best players still included, so an adaptation must be overdone it in the team analysis in the cases of best players off.

2) There is team influence on player FG% and the eBA Basketball Statistics Analysis performs adaptations either in the score or in the evaluation of the score. But our System takes always in account that the player is utmostly agent or cause of the shots he takes.

3) A player on a bad team may take more hard shots and fewer not hurried ones and vice versa on a good team, so the eBA Basketball Statistics Analysis takes all of these shots out and analyze the remaining shooting precision.

4) Efficiency connected with statistics might become greater on a better team when the defense needs to move outward and defend so many other menaces. However, from another point of view, the percentage of touches might grow worse. When you're encircled by better players, you might get less touches than if you are the exclusive talent on a bad team.

5) And finally, good teammates among the good players will still get some recognition, bad teammates on the court will not gain as many bonus points and look inferior in individual ratings because of their unsatisfactory influence on other teammate shooting.
