Another neat tool added by basketball-reference.com. http://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/plus/plus_minus_finder.cgi As an example, here is a list of Rockets players since 00/01 seasons who played at least 2000 minutes, ranked by net point differential per 100 possessions when they were on the floor: Code: [B]Rk Player From To G MP Pace PTS[/B] 1 Metta World Peace 2009 2009 69 2451.8 89.8 +7.1 2 Chuck Hayes 2006 2011 424 8533.9 91.5 +6.0 3 Tracy McGrady 2005 2010 303 11144.1 89.9 +5.1 4 Dikembe Mutombo 2005 2009 267 4175.2 86.9 +5.0 5 Shane Battier 2007 2011 348 11912 91.5 +4.8 6 Yao Ming 2003 2011 486 15841.3 89.6 +4.5 7 Rafer Alston 2006 2009 267 9589.9 90.6 +4.5 8 Kyle Lowry 2009 2012 209 6169.6 93.7 +4.0 9 Luis Scola 2008 2012 367 11052.7 92.5 +2.5 10 Carl Landry 2008 2010 163 3593.9 90.8 +2.5 11 Chase Budinger 2010 2012 191 4030.7 94.1 +2.3 12 Steve Francis 2001 2008 307 12252.7 89.5 +2.2 13 Jim Jackson 2004 2005 104 4115.7 88.7 +2.1 14 Kevin Martin 2010 2012 144 4725.2 94.8 +1.6 15 Cuttino Mobley 2001 2004 306 12398.3 89.2 +1.3 16 David Wesley 2005 2006 125 4214.9 89.3 +1.0 17 Luther Head 2006 2009 255 6222.1 89.4 +0.9 18 Courtney Lee 2011 2012 120 2780.4 92.1 +0.7 19 Kelvin Cato 2001 2004 252 5539.5 88.4 +0.7 20 Aaron Brooks 2008 2011 247 6338.1 91.8 +0.4 21 Walt Williams 2001 2002 120 2701.5 89.8 +0.4 22 Shandon Anderson 2001 2001 82 2396.6 91.4 +0.1 23 Eddie Griffin 2002 2003 150 3777.9 89.3 -0.1 24 Trevor Ariza 2010 2010 72 2629.4 93.8 -0.7 25 Juwan Howard 2005 2007 221 6279.9 88.8 -1.0 26 Moochie Norris 2001 2006 311 5956.4 87.9 -1.1 27 Glen Rice 2002 2003 82 2140.9 88.3 -1.2 28 Maurice Taylor 2001 2005 249 6340.9 88.6 -1.4 29 Kenny Thomas 2001 2003 166 4886 89.1 -1.4
I wonder what Eddie Griffin would have been able to accomplish at this point if he'd gotten control of his demons and developed a work ethic? Anyone care to guess at what his ceiling might have been?
Eddie Grifin could have been a spectacular PF with a better work ethic. His per 36 numbers were good. 9.3 reb even though he always hung around the perimeter. He shouln not have shot as many 3s as he did. He was one of the most impressive shot blocker I've ever seen. He averaged 2.8 per 36, and he did it while giving very little effort.
