Double-double percentage

[OldNuggetsGM]

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.

Chris Mihm...now with the Pistons.

edited to include Pau Gasol and take out KMart and Howard

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)

[OldNuggetsGM]

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.

[CelticsGM]

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 ...

Emeka!

career leader in double doubles

Know what's amazing?  Emeka has 5 POTW (week!).  Pettit 4.  Neither have ever won a POTM.

[JazzGM-old]

nobody in Jazz history has yet to earn a POTW or a POTM award, heck i hardly ever have people in the league leaders, but i do have 2 championships
