This is the Grinders version of the NBA\u2019s Player Efficiency Rating stat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hero (aka %TmGAPE)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Formula: (GAPE\/TmGAPE)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Why Highlight it<\/strong>? This stat generally highlights the Grinder who ends up being the \u201cgo-to-guy\u201d on a team. In theory, you could use this stat to help indicate who the most valuable players are to their teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Examples of Hero\u2019s: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Last week, Chris Cole had a GAPE of 19. Not bad! His team had a total GAPE of 22. That\u2019s bad! Chris was the hero of the week because he literally was the only guy who did anything for his team, statistically speaking (19\/22 = 86.4%). That\u2019s an unusually high Hero% though. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Most season leaders have been slightly over .500 (Tall Justin, Curtis, Gersitz, etc – all-around excellent Grinders).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Game Score (aka GmScore)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Formula<\/strong>: The average of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why highlight it<\/strong>? The highest Game Score = Best individual all-around performance, based on benchmarks for each of the above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Example 1: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In a typical \u201cgood OMJ game\u201d, he goes 3\/4, 6 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 turnovers – his Game Score:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Also – a Grinder can sometimes just be really good at everything. The example below – Chaz shoots 40% from the floor but scores a ton and does a lot of other good stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Example 2:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s more examples in Table form:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Check it out for yourself. Grinders are ranked in order on the stats leader pages based on this stat. Check out the career stats, or previous season stats. I feel pretty good about the order the top guys are in (and the bottom guys for that matter), as far as who was the best and worst. Of course – there is always going to be debate, but this stat without fault puts the top guys at the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are a Grinder who has said to himself, \u201cMan – this website we have is tits, but I don\u2019t get what some of these dumb stats OMJ posts on here are.\u201d Then this blog is for you!
