Dan I'm a little confused. Why does the graphic of the projection for next year have last year's minutes/games in it? Specifically for Jonas and Carroll. Thanks!

At that point, you check to see if the total minutes played for all the players add up to what they should for a full season. If not, you have to adjust everyone's minutes played to get the right total. Hence the "MP adj" column. You'll note DeMarre and JV's minutes tick up from 785 and 1560 to 912 and 1812. In fact, both players end up with even more minutes later on when I take the excess minutes given to DeMar and Lowry and give them to Carroll and JV instead.
The point is to not have to come up with a minutes distribution from scratch - players who played a lot last year are expected to play a lot this year, and players who played little are expected to do so again. And if there are extra minutes to go around, they get spread around in the same proportions as the players played last season.

The first 7 columns (from Player Name to WORP/48) are all last season's numbers. The 8th column as well - it is the total minutes played based on the games and average minutes played columns.

Thanks for the hard work.

Thanks for the hard work.

Was waiting for these to be released, but you've done it for us. Awesome.
Winshare projections were very accurate last year projecting us for 54 wins, I'd be happy with 52 this year because a lot of teams got better, not because we got worse, but expectations should be high with Carroll and sullinger in, compared to the warm bodies filling in last year.

I've put together a projection for next season based on WS and BPM from basketball-reference. It's similar to what I did last year with RPM but I think a little more thorough and using two different win approximations gives a nice range of likely records.
Obviously appreciate it if you click through (there's a lot of background and a little bit of proofing of the method in there) but I'll post the projections and a decent sample of the text here, enough I think to get what I'm going for here.
