    Use the play by play for that.

    Yes, its player's points per half court touch. Not sure how you'd define team points per half court touch. Is it team points scored on possessions where a player touches the ball? In that case, the player may not have been very involved as a finisher or facilitator.

    Those data indicate that Dwight is playing off the bench on the offensive end. Some strange things are going on.

    Yes, that's what I meant. I wanted to see how effective the offense is with the player's touches, not necessarily scoring himself.

    Because these stats are very dependent on role, I've added player positions to the table. I determined the following league average stats, by position:

    Code:
    [B]Pos   P/HTch  %PossTime   Time/Tch  HTch/48min[/B]
    PG    0.23    15.9%         4.2       91.3
    SG    0.40    6.5%          2.5       56.7
    SF    0.39    4.6%          1.8       50.8
    PF    0.46    3.9%          1.4       44.3
    C     0.42    4.0%          1.5       39.9

    You are something else, durvasa, and I mean that in a highly complementary way. Very interesting! :)-

    Lin is a much better spot up defender than Bev.
