Rockets Preseason Stats

Here are the preseason stats for the Rockets players.

The GS stat stands for Hollinger's Game Score rating, which is an easy-to-calculate summary metric incorporating all the player's boxscore stats (sort of similar to PER).

Some observations:

• Spanoulis does very poorly by the GS measurement. He's been a turnover machine, averaging over 8 turnovers per 40 minutes played!
• Padgett has played well, particularly on the boards. His 17.1 rebound rate is third on the team, behind Yao and Haryasz (who played just 19 minutes).
• Tracy ... free throws need work! His FT% dipped somewhat last year, but hopefully he doesn't go below 70% this season. Not to worried.
• Yao's done a great job on the boards, but he's been turning it over way too much and not scoring with his usual efficiency (52.4 TS% is below the league preseason average, in fact)
• Chuck Hayes, the stat wunderkind last year, has not faired too well in the preseason. Rebounding is well below-standard for him and he's been fouling like crazy. To be fair, a lot of the turnovers he's credited with are illegal screens which aren't really his fault.
• Novak's TS% (scoring efficiency) is out of this world; only Artis Gilmore back in the early 80s finished a season with a TS% higher than 70%.
• Battier's stats are solid, but we know that's not where his real value lies
• John Lucas has been a ball hog while in the game (third in Usage behind Yao and Tracy)
• Luther's 0-10 game hurt his numbers big time. He was statistically a top-4 player on the team before that game.

Sorry, I missed some of the players. Didn't copy over from the spreadsheet correctly. Please bring up any blatant mistakes so I get it right.

I'm adding Spanoulis right now ...

 

No, it didn't. Didn't notice that thread.
