The "Global Rating" system is designed to provide a comprehensive assessment of a player's contribution, moving beyond simple statistics. It considers the context of team success and the quality of opposition, valuing impressive numbers that lead to wins for strong teams more highly than similar statistics from weaker teams. The algorithm also weighs performances against strong opponents more heavily.
The calculation process involves an automated system that first computes an individual score based on points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, turnovers, fouls, and shooting percentages. This score is then adjusted based on team performance, the player's influence on those results, and the number of games played to mitigate sample size bias.
Currently, Victor Wembanyama leads the HoopsHype rankings with a score of 28.47. Other players ranked above Avdija include Tyrese Maxey (27.08), Jayson Tatum (26.35), Giannis Antetokounmpo (24.54), and Jamal Murray (24.53).
