In my week off, I have calculated the basketball team's efficiency ratings using the Prouty rating system. I don't know what Prouty stands for, but the rating takes all of the basketball stats on a box score into account. It has four parts

1. Total points/{(Field goals attempted x 2) + Free throws attempted}= Offensive efficiency
2. {Total points + (Assists x 2) - Turnovers}/Minutes played = Total Offense
3. {Total Rebounds + Steals + (Blocks x 2) - Fouls}/Minutes played = Possessions Gained
4. Minutes played/(Total Team Minutes/5) x Team Winning % = Win Rating.

Add all four components and divide by 4 for the rating.

For this season, here are UAB's players ratings after 12 games.

1. Jordan Swing .447
2. Rod Rucker .426
3. Fahro Alihodzic .374
4. Jekore Tyler .366
5. Rob Williams .363
6. Terence Jones .345
7. Hoopy Jones .320
8. Preston Purifoy .311
9. Quincy Taylor .219
10. Alexander Scotland Williamson .150

For comparisons, here are the top ten ratings UAB players have had over the past 10 years.

1. Donell Taylor (2004-05) .4785
2. Paul Delaney III (2008-09) .4779
3. Robert Vaden (2007-08) .472
4. Robert Vaden (2008-09) .470
5. Morris Finley (2002-03) .4653
6. Elijah Milsap (2009-10) .4651
7. Aaron Johnson (2010-11) .4646
8. Squeaky Johnson (2005-06) .459
9. Cameron Moore (2010-11) .454
10. Jamarr Sanders (2010-11) .451

Thoughts?

Two...
First, whatever the system is, I would say it did a good job of picking out the best players we have had in the past ten years.

Secondly, How did ASW even score a .150? You get bonus points for having a hyphenated last name or something?

Thus, our record. Good comparison, btw.

ASW probably hasn't played enough to have a true rating. His percentage is skewed by the first component. He has not shot much, but has made most of the shots he has taken. For the season, he is 2 of 3 from the field and 5 of 6 from the line. The other three components are really bad.

Thoughts? Is this a trap question?

We will be lucky to finish at 0.500 this season. However, I enjoy watching the teamwork and energy of this team. I like the style of play Haase has brought to Bartow Arena.

I've never heard of this rating, but it appears to be pretty good.

I think it's interesting that 7/10 are from the CMD era.

Makes sense really.

Davis made up 60% of the decade and Anderson played a more team oriented system where there were no superstar players.

I find it interesting that none of Demario Eddins seasons show up in the top 10. His sophomore year comes in at #16.

Where is Sharpe and how is Purifoy so low.

Sharpe's rating for his one year played is .402. He would have been hire had he played a full year. The win rating brought his rating down because it compares your minutes played to the possible minutes played. Since he only played 12 games, that number is really low.

Purifoy's rating is low because he has put in a lot of minutes, but has not put up big numbers. He also has a high number of fouls and only 38 rebounds. However, It has been steadily improving over the past few games.

If there were some way for the calculation to factor in the performance of the opposing player being guarded by our player, is the only way I can see to make it more accurate.

When I see Robert Vaden's name at the tope of a list like this, all I can think of is "How many times did he singlehandedly keep both teams in the game?"
