| National Basketball Association (NBA) data are examined to evaluate player performance. The paper uses a least squares approach to assess player contributions to team success while controlling for the opposing teams' quality of play. The results are consistent with prior research and commonly used analytical methods while introducing novelty to the field of player performance evaluation. The initial focus is a single team, the Indiana Pacers, to study the effectiveness of this approach but can be expanded league-wide with enhanced access to data and resources. |
