The Modified PPP: Part Two...

After further discussion here, I have modified my PPP formula as follows:

PTS/[FGM+(FG Missed*.7)+(FTA*.44)+Offensive Fouls+Ballhandling Turnovers]

Just for the heck of it, I decided to compile a spreadsheet which calculated the modified PPP for the top 100 scorers in the NBA. Here are the results:

It's really interesting to see where different players fall. For instance, for as much as Mavs fans gripe about Finley's poor shooting lately, he's still more efficient offensively than a lot of his counterparts. Of the top 10 scorers in the league, Dirk is second in efficiency only to Amare Stoudemire. Also, Jerry Stackhouse, derided by many Mavs fans as an inefficient offensive player, was right in the middle of the pack in terms of offensive efficiency in comparison to the league's other top scorers. Notably, he is just as efficient as Tim Duncan, Kobe Bryant, Corey Maggette, and Rip Hamilton, and more efficient than Elton Brand, Jermaine O'Neal, and Antawn Jamison, among others.

Oh well, that's my little statistical contribution for the day...
