People throw around a lot of different stats, but obviously the ones that matter most are those that correlate to winning. Some of you guys are way into this stuff, so someone must know.
What are the things that have high correlation coefficients to winning? Yeah, I know, scoring more points. But seriously, its not an easy thing to do in a team sport, especially basketball where no one loses 100-12. Somebody on the crappy team is going to average 20/10 and still stink (no david lee jokes, please).
It may be immeasurable for an individual (or rather, the data doesn't correlate well) and only team stats are useful.
Is it turnover ratio? lowest opponent field goal percentage? FG% allowed times offensive rebounds divided by ????
thx
