Big Butts 14-15!

HE RIGHT STUFF FROM THE BIG BUTTS - 2014-15

Reminder from the last time we did this: I feel like this stat has been less relevant than it was in other leagues - like SLOR - because Ashes has created such a great landscape of bigs that we don't have the homogenized Def/Reb group on every team. SO: without having access to true turnover rates, I tried to create a usage-weighted turnover stat instead of the turnover component of this rating being purely about raw turnovers. This is still going to be more or less a guess, but it shouldn't penalize players who have the ball more (see: Eddie Griffin, T-Mac) and thus turn the ball over, as much as the old version of the stat.

Without further ado....

What a giant butt from Greg Oden

[Hoff]

Tier 1: Oden
Tier 2: Bosh and Whiteside

Everyone else

Also looks like there are less big butts than previous years

feels like there should be a less than 1 rebound rate coefficient applied to PFs?

other thoughts: look at all those former blazers
