Funny ABL Stats launched today
Just wanted to let everyone know about what I've spent the last few days on. Working until 3AM, pushing clients aside for a bit to recharge my batteries with something different (OK, it's still basketball, but it's interesting for me), etc.
I've added an ABL Statistics link in the sidebar and the address is:
www.hoops.com.au/sa/stats ยป
There's still some more stuff to come, but there's already a good amount of useful information available, such as the Hoops SA Ratings, Per 48 Minute stats for every category, game-by-game statlines for every player in the ABL (men and women).
Head to a team name to find the season boxscore to date for their roster, the top five in each stat category, the top three performances for players from that team, and more to come.
Hit a player's profile to see their season highs, game of the season, and their game-by-game stats.
If you've got any suggestions, let me know.
One of my favourite pages is the Hoops SA Rating index. Jason Dix is currently leading the men from Oscar Forman, Todd Gower, Paul Vanderburgh and Darren Ng. In the women, Vikki Kelson and Tracey Braithwaite have a Panther double at the top, followed by Tania Dhu, Laura Summerton and Melissa Marsh. Also, you might not believe your eyes, but Justin Wilkey isn't even in the top ten for field goal attempts per 48 minutes. I'm sure he'll get there eventually (just joking Wilkey!).
The Hoops SA Rating is explained on that index page -- basically it rewards a bit of everything, especially good shooting and careful ball handling.
Of course, I've already got a $300 excess bandwidth bill for this month alone due to the popularity of the forum, and adding more content to the site won't help, but oh well. Let me know what you think and/or provide any suggestions in this thread.
