Title: Double-double percentage
Post by: OldNuggetsGM on December 19, 2005, 04:27:12 PM
Berkowitz's last sim intrigued me.  I know he's been great at generating double-doubles, and I thought his % (dub-dub's/total games played) was pretty good.  So I took a sampling of other top big men to see how he stacked up.

I'll share the list I compiled with the rest of you (I looked mostly at the best big men on each team, and didn't include anyone whose threshold fell below 50%, except for two):

Code:
#	player	dubs	game	%
01 duncan 361 441 0.818594104
02 okafor 400 506 0.790513834
03 garnet 367 480 0.764583333
04 y ming 368 487 0.755646817
05 Berkow 072 107 0.672897196
06 soneal 298 454 0.656387665
07 araujo 306 468 0.653846154
08 boozer 318 492 0.646341463
09 joneal 317 503 0.630218688
10 zrando 309 498 0.620481928
11 stoude 312 507 0.615384615
12 chandl 300 510 0.588235294
13 maglio 277 482 0.574688797
14 ilgaus 278 493 0.563894523
15 ebrand 263 474 0.554852321
16 kemart 248 513 0.483430799
17 dhowrd 201 514 0.391050584



The gap between 4th and 5th is pretty big, especially if you take Berkowitz out due to the small sample size.  I was surprised J. O'Neal wasn't higher on the list.

If there's anyone I overlooked that should be included (i.e. above 55%), let me know and I'll update this.

Quite depressing when none of your players are on the list :)

What is really scary is that in the last draft, you have another two players who will be averaging double double throughout their career (Stocker and Barner)

Yeah, I looked at Barner, and he's already at 22/31 (71%).  Stocker checks in at 16/29 (55%).  So Barner would be in 5th place if I included him; that's not bad at all for a rook.  But I'm going to hold off on including anyone who doesn't have at least a year in the league.

One other thing: Dwight Howard would be a lot higher on this list if I was able to determine yearly stats.  He's averaged a double-double the last three years, but since his ratings most likely weren't as good at the start of his career, he's unduly affected in a ranking like this.  The same goes for other young bigs who've steadily gotten better as time goes by.

Another overlooked player....Gasol.

268 dub-dubs in 478 games.

Guess Dwight is still ranked too high. Bye Bye from the top 20, my son:

Etan Thomas: 225 dd in 481 games = 47%
Stromile Swift: 214 dd in 485 games = 44%

Pau Gasol: 268 in 478 games = 56%

had to get some Celts and ex-Celtics on here ...
 :D
