In order to rank each of the Los Angeles Lakers players fairly and accurately, I’m going to use six different metrics.
First, I’ll show everyone’s per game traditional stats such as points, rebounds, assists, steals, FG%, and 3P%. I’ll also use www.basketball-reference.com’s Value Over Replacement Player (VORP) and Win Shares (WS) because these two advanced stats indicate a player’s overall impact throughout the season.
Two stats from www.nba.com will also be used to construct the rankings: Offensive Rating (OFFRTG) and Defensive Rating (DEFRTG) over the last ten games, to illustrate which Lakers players have been playing well recently.
