2010-2011's Most Efficent Player

I was looking at the statistics from last years team and was wondering to myself which player would the numbers say was the most efficient for Valpo.  I had a feeling that it would be Brandon, but thought maybe Ryan or Cory might sneak past him.  Before I tell you the results let me explain the formula I used.

First I entered every player into an excel spreadsheet.  Next I took the total points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks and divided them by the number of total minutes played.  This let me find out the average of each category per minute played.  I then added all these numbers together.  Next I wanted to find out the average number of turnovers per minute.  I took this number and subtracted it from the totals from the points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks.  This led me to my final number.  I realize that this doesn't take into account the play on the court that doesn't show up on the stat sheet (setting a good pick, blocking out, pressure defense that leads to a teammate getting a steal, etc...).

Here are the results.  First we'll do the top 5 for each category then list the roster in order and give the final total.

Points/Minute: Cory Johnson (.5369), Brandon Wood (.5242), Kevin Van Wijk (.3870), Ryan Broekhoff (.3677), Micheal Rogers (.3450)

Rebounds/Minute: Hrvoje Vucic (.2162), Rogers (.2098), Broekhoff (.1859), Cameron Witt (.1842), Van Wijk (.1744)

Assist/Minute: Erik Buggs (.1335), Matt Kenney (.1040), Wood (.0978), Jay Harris (.0808), Howard Little (.0668)

Steals/Minute: Witt (.0789), Wood (.0522), Van Wijk (.0492), Kenney (.0472), Little (.0418)

Blocks/Minute: Vucic (.1081), Broekhoff (.0398), Van Wijk (.0290), Witt (.0263), Johnson (.0190)

Turnovers/Minute: Vucic (.1081), Van Wijk (.0939), Johnson (.0894), Harris (.0875), Nick Shelton (.0714)

The final results: Wood (.746439), Johnson (.706935), Broekhoff (.651685), Rogers (.588235), Van Wijk (.579418), Witt (.578947), Little (.569292), Kenney (.514856), Harris (.39899), Buggs (.330882), Vucic (.243243), Shelton (0)

So what does this all mean?  Probably nothing, but June is a slow month so it gave me something to do.  The team has lost 3 of their top 4 efficiency players.  Any thoughts?  Remember, if you want an alert when a new post is made just put your email in the space provided above this post and click submit!
