We spent a year recording every point everyone played and the result of every possession therein. We were then able to analyze any combination of players to determine things like percentage of possessions the combination scored on, for instance. Once you have that, its pretty easy to figure out which players, when put on the field, increase the team's scoring %, even if they don't end up with countable stats. Similar analysis works for the defensive side as well.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11578075137363490135noreply@blogger.com
