NOTES
Every year a final Real Player Ratings Report is produced for all 30 NBA teams. Most of them are posted in late June and in early July. They are posted in alphabetic order by team starting with the Atlanta Hawks and ending with the Washington Wizards. But starting in 2010, we are making sure the Reports for the teams in the Conference Finals (and the Championship) are posted before these series begin. The final ratings for those final four teams can then be used in team grids that are very important parts of any playoff series preview.
Another important note is that the User Guide for Real Player Ratings has been revised and updated, mostly because the Hidden Defending Rating methodology was in May 2010 substantially improved to correct for small but non-negligible biases that were unexpectedly showing up. There are links to the revised User Guide at the bottom of this Report.

AVERAGE RATINGS BY POSITION
Not all positions are created equal. These are estimates for ratings by position among all NBA players who play 300 minutes or more. There are very few small forwards and shooting guards who don't fit at other positions who are superstars. Most superstars are players who can play point guard, power forward, or center.
Point Guard .780

PLAYOFF GRADE PLAYERS
Playoff Grade Players have ratings of .560 and higher. Players with ratings below .560 should not play in the playoffs unless the team is forced to play them so that they have two players at a position and/or so that the team has at least eight players playing in the playoffs and/or because the coach is absolutely certain the low rating player will play better in the playoffs than he did in the regular season.

For complete details regarding how the Real Player Ratings are designed, how and why they work, and how exactly you can use them, see the User Guide. The User Guide for Real Player Ratings is a necessary reference for anyone who wants to truly understand the value of, the validity of, and the ways you can use the Real Player Rating performance measures.
Also, you should become a regular visitor to Quest for the Ring if you want to get the full advantage of reading and using Real Player Ratings Series performance measures. The more you visit and check out ratings, the more quickly and easily you will be able to evaluate what you are seeing.
Golden State Warriors Final Real Player Ratings, 2009-10 Season
NOTES
Every year a final Real Player Ratings Report is produced for all 30 NBA teams. Most of them are posted in late June and in early July. They are posted in alphabetic order by team starting with the Atlanta Hawks and ending with the Washington Wizards. But starting in 2010, we are making sure the Reports for the teams in the Conference Finals (and the Championship) are posted before these series begin. The final ratings for those final four teams can then be used in team grids that are very important parts of any playoff series preview.
Another important note is that the User Guide for Real Player Ratings has been revised and updated, mostly because the Hidden Defending Rating methodology was in May 2010 substantially improved to correct for small but non-negligible biases that were unexpectedly showing up. There are links to the revised User Guide at the bottom of this Report.

AVERAGE RATINGS BY POSITION
Not all positions are created equal. These are estimates for ratings by position among all NBA players who play 300 minutes or more. There are very few small forwards and shooting guards who don't fit at other positions who are superstars. Most superstars are players who can play point guard, power forward, or center.
Point Guard .780

Power Forward .730

PLAYOFF GRADE PLAYERS
Playoff Grade Players have ratings of .560 and higher. Players with ratings below .560 should not play in the playoffs unless the team is forced to play them so that they have two players at a position and/or so that the team has at least eight players playing in the playoffs and/or because the coach is absolutely certain the low rating player will play better in the playoffs than he did in the regular season.

THE ALL IMPORTANT, AWARD WINNING REAL PLAYER RATINGS USER GUIDE
For complete details regarding how the Real Player Ratings are designed, how and why they work, and how exactly you can use them, see the User Guide. The User Guide for Real Player Ratings is a necessary reference for anyone who wants to truly understand the value of, the validity of, and the ways you can use the Real Player Rating performance measures.
Also, you should become a regular visitor to Quest for the Ring if you want to get the full advantage of reading and using Real Player Ratings Series performance measures. The more you visit and check out ratings, the more quickly and easily you will be able to evaluate what you are seeing.
Denver Nuggets Final Real Player Ratings, 2009-10 Season
NOTES
Every year a final Real Player Ratings Report is produced for all 30 NBA teams. Most of them are posted in late June and in early July. They are posted in alphabetic order by team starting with the Atlanta Hawks and ending with the Washington Wizards. But starting in 2010, we are making sure the Reports for the teams in the Conference Finals (and the Championship) are posted before these series begin. The final ratings for those final four teams can then be used in team grids that are very important parts of any playoff series preview.
Another important note is that the User Guide for Real Player Ratings has been revised and updated, mostly because the Hidden Defending Rating methodology was in May 2010 substantially improved to correct for small but non-negligible biases that were unexpectedly showing up. There are links to the revised User Guide at the bottom of this Report.

AVERAGE RATINGS BY POSITION
Not all positions are created equal. These are estimates for ratings by position among all NBA players who play 300 minutes or more. There are very few small forwards and shooting guards who don't fit at other positions who are superstars. Most superstars are players who can play point guard, power forward, or center.
Point Guard .780
Shooting Guard .610
Small Forward .650
Power Forward .730
Center .730
All Positions / All Players (NBA Overall Average) .700
PLAYOFF GRADE PLAYERS
Playoff Grade Players have ratings of .560 and higher. Players with ratings below .560 should not play in the playoffs unless the team is forced to play them so that they have two players at a position and/or so that the team has at least eight players playing in the playoffs and/or because the coach is absolutely certain the low rating player will play better in the playoffs than he did in the regular season.

For complete details regarding how the Real Player Ratings are designed, how and why they work, and how exactly you can use them, see the User Guide. The User Guide for Real Player Ratings is a necessary reference for anyone who wants to truly understand the value of, the validity of, and the ways you can use the Real Player Rating performance measures.
Also, you should become a regular visitor to Quest for the Ring if you want to get the full advantage of reading and using Real Player Ratings Series performance measures. The more you visit and check out ratings, the more quickly and easily you will be able to evaluate what you are seeing.
Cleveland Cavaliers Final Real Player Ratings, 2009-10 Season
NOTES
Every year a final Real Player Ratings Report is produced for all 30 NBA teams. Most of them are posted in late June and in early July. They are posted in alphabetic order by team starting with the Atlanta Hawks and ending with the Washington Wizards. But starting in 2010, we are making sure the Reports for the teams in the Conference Finals (and the Championship) are posted before these series begin. The final ratings for those final four teams can then be used in team grids that are very important parts of any playoff series preview.
Another important note is that the User Guide for Real Player Ratings has been revised and updated, mostly because the Hidden Defending Rating methodology was in May 2010 substantially improved to correct for small but non-negligible biases that were unexpectedly showing up. There are links to the revised User Guide at the bottom of this Report.

The User Guide for Real Player Ratings is a necessary reference for anyone who wants to truly understand the value of, the validity of, and the ways you can use the Real Player Rating performance measures.
Also, you should become a regular visitor to Quest for the Ring if you want to get the full advantage of reading and using Real Player Ratings Series performance measures. The more you visit and check out ratings, the more quickly and easily you will be able to evaluate what you are seeing.
Charlotte Bobcats Final Real Player Ratings, 2009-10 Season
NOTES
Every year a final Real Player Ratings Report is produced for all 30 NBA teams. Most of them are posted in late June and in early July. They are posted in alphabetic order by team starting with the Atlanta Hawks and ending with the Washington Wizards. But starting in 2010, we are making sure the Reports for the teams in the Conference Finals (and the Championship) are posted before these series begin. The final ratings for those final four teams can then be used in team grids that are very important parts of any playoff series preview.
Another important note is that the User Guide for Real Player Ratings has been revised and updated, mostly because the Hidden Defending Rating methodology was in May 2010 substantially improved to correct for small but non-negligible biases that were unexpectedly showing up. There are links to the revised User Guide at the bottom of this Report.

Atlanta Hawks Final Real Player Ratings, 2009-10 Season
NOTES
Every year a final Real Player Ratings Report is produced for all 30 NBA teams. Most of them are posted in late June and in early July. They are posted in alphabetic order by team starting with the Atlanta Hawks and ending with the Washington Wizards. But starting in 2010, we are making sure the Reports for the teams in the Conference Finals (and the Championship) are posted before these series begin. The final ratings for those final four teams can then be used in team grids that are very important parts of any playoff series preview.
Another important note is that the User Guide for Real Player Ratings has been revised and updated, mostly because the Hidden Defending Rating methodology was in May 2010 substantially improved to correct for small but non-negligible biases that were unexpectedly showing up. There are links to the revised User Guide at the bottom of this Report.

REAL PLAYER RATINGS FOR A SINGLE GAME WITH SPECIAL HIDDEN DEFENDING ADJUSTMENT
Each player's hidden defending rating from the regular season is used as the Hidden Defending Adjustment (HDA). Obviously, players in any individual game including this one were not exactly as good defenders as they were on the average during the regular season. But since there is no way to provide HDA for individual games and since it is better to have some reasonable HDA than none at all, we use the season HDA as a reasonable substitute.

GIVE US THE JUICE TO PRODUCE REPORTS MORE QUICKLY
Although there is a guaranteed minimum rate of Report production regardless of traffic, IT IS IN YOUR POWER to help double or triple the number of and frequency of Reports. Simply take two or three minutes as often as you can to recommend Quest and post links to Quest on your favorite sports and other sites. The resulting automatic increase of traffic will in turn increase the resources that go in to producing Quest, which in turn speeds up reporting. If you want, e-mail how you helped (include the url of where you posted a link to Quest) and we will throw some Internet love back to where you tell us on the Internet. Thank you.
Here are some quick links that you can use to find a place where you might post a link to Quest and/or to Quest content.

BASKETBALL SITES THAT ARE OPEN FOR CONTENT FROM ANYONE
Note: Beware of "layered" sites. None of the following are layered sites, which are sites that allow contributions from the public only in hard to find, low traffic areas, while the main areas are off limits for public input and are only for a chosen few. All of the following have at least some notable traffic, and all of them allow relatively equal and open participation. The order is from most recommended to least recommended, based on about half a dozen factors.
Bleacher Report Open Posting Site
Inside Hoops NBA Forum
Real GM NBA and Team Forums
Pro Sports Daily NBA Forum
Basketball Forum NBA Forum
Sporting News NBA Forum
Hoops Hype NBA Forum
Armchair GM Open Posting Site
SportsTwo NBA Forum
NBA Dimensions NBA Forum
OTR Basketball Forums NBA Forum
NBA Boards NBA Forum
NBA Wire NBA Forum
KFFL NBA Forum
Note: there are other forums, but they are all very low traffic and activity compared to the ones above.
MESSAGE BOARDS AT HUGE COROPORATIONS
The Fox NBA board is very low traffic, and the MSNBC NBA board doesn't exist anymore. The CBS Sports NBA Message Board is a layered site; you can NOT post topics nor expect to be considered seriously there until you have spent a few years posting there. We do not recommend CBS Sports. So the only real, fully open NBA forum hosted by a big corporation is the ESPN message board. Be forewarned though that the ESPN board is dominated by very young fans who make very short comments. On the other hand, it is a high traffic site, so we won't stop you from posting a Quest link at ESPN if you want to.
