For example, the four factors are just a different way of looking at field goal %, offensive rebounding, turnovers, and free throws.<BR/><BR/>In response to your question, the most effective view from an offensive standpoint is going to be the offensive rating. You can get season summary views at Pomeroy's site (scroll down on the link). The highest ORtgs on the team are Lazar (126.0), Cube (126.5), and Ouse (111.8). Burke and Fitz have very high ORtgs, but those are in limited minutes.<BR/><BR/>http://kenpom.com/sr.php?team=Marquette&y=2008<BR/><BR/>Ideally, you want a player that combines a high Offensive Rating with a high usage (% Poss). <BR/><BR/>For a different twist on your question, "when x is on the floor, MU is at its best" - that is the "net points added" stat which also accounts for defensive contributions. McNeal gets more points on the defensive end than the offensive end. The season leaders for net points added are James (58.0), McNeal (56.8), and Lazar (47.1). Next closest is Cube at 13.7.<BR/><BR/>Hope this helpsRob Lowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10470103073724971955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10389503.post-14333354023255644682008-01-07T23:07:00.000-06:002008-01-07T23:07:00.000-06:00Henry, a lot of your stuff goes over my head, but ...Henry, a lot of your stuff goes over my head, but some of it is interesting to read. I was wondering...any stat that shows who's the most effective - statistically - from an offensive standpoint when he's on the floor. For instance, when X is on the floor, MU is at its best.<BR/><BR/>Just curious.Gene Frenklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04219722201995664841noreply@blogger.com
