Player Production Average (PPA) is an overall rating metric I developed that credits players for things they do that help a team win (scoring, rebounding, play-making, defending) and debits them for things that hurt the cause (missed shots, turnovers, fouls, ineffective defense). PPA is similar to other linear weight rating metrics such as John Hollinger’s PER, David Berri’s Wins Produced, Kevin Pelton’s VORP, and the granddaddy of them all, Dave Heeren’s TENDEX.
PPA weighs a player’s performance per possession against that of his competitors season by season. While PPA falls into the category of a linear weight metric, the values for statistical categories float a bit season-to-season based on league performance.
PPA is pace neutral, accounts for defense, and includes a “degree of difficulty” factor based on the level of competition a player faces while on the floor. Beginning with the 2019-20 season, I added a position/role adjustment designed to reflect how roles and on-court positioning affect individual abilities to produce certain stats.
Inputs include:
- points
- rebounds (offensive and defensive weighed differently)
- assists
- steals
- blocks
- shot attempts
- turnovers
- personal fouls
- starts
- minutes
- on-court team defensive rating
What PPA scores mean (in most seasons — understanding that the levels can fluctuate from season to season and by position):
- 225+ — league Most Valuable Player candidate
- 175+ — typically All-NBA level
- 150+ — usually the minimum score for All-Star level
- 100 — average
- 75 — lower-end of the rotation (see below)
- 45 and below — replacement level
Here are league average PPA scores by production slot on the team (think best player, second best, third best, and so on):
- 175
- 150
- 130
- 120
- 110
- 100
- 95
- 85
- 80
- 70
- 65
- 55
I have not yet published full details on how PPA works. That’s being planned, and I’ll provide additional information as those plans solidify.

Great initiative. I am looking forward to the methodology behind the assignment of weights to the different categories. Good players come out on top, but your model does seem to favor big men more than guards/wings.
It could be possible that these big men do indeed have a more positive impact on their team compared to the smaller players. However, eyeballing the results seem to consistently put big men above their teammates who are considered “better” by subjective opinions of the masses. (Gortat>Wall, Valanciunas>Lowry&DeRozan, Koufus&Randolph&CauleyStein as best Kings players, Monroe&Chandler&Len as best Suns players, etc).
Good work, love the idea of adjusting for pace and I am looking forward to the process behind this model.

Appreciate the thoughts. The ratings are driven by the regressions. I am looking at a some kind of a position adjustment, but it definitely won’t be PG/SG/SF/PF/C positions.
It could be as few as three positions — something like guards, wings, and bigs. But, any position adjustment I do will be driven by numbers, not the poorly defined position designations typically used.

Random comment on a dead thread here (but I love your stuff and am excited to see it kept up to date):
Is it worth differentiating the value of rebounds? A guard getting you 5 rpg is helping you, but a big getting you 5 rebounds a game is hurting you, yet it seems they both get the same credit.
Or to put it another way, a big’s first 5 rebounds aren’t important; they’re the ones that fall into your lap. It’s the next 5 that add value, and the 5 after that put you into Rodman territory.
I forget how much you do with dopplegangers and comp players, but maybe that’s a way to get the Actual Rebounds vs. Expected Rebounds based on how they play?

That’s an interesting idea. The simple way to do that would be a position adjustment, which I’ve tried, but… a) with position mattering less than ever, it logically feels weird to add in a position-specific adjustment, b) the value of the stat is determined by the regression, and c) when I’ve attempted position adjustments, they generally REDUCE the metric’s relationship with team success.
I’ve been playing with the idea of doing something more role specific — something like PG, wings and bigs — but haven’t been able to devote much time to it yet.
In a sense, this is already built into the metric because everything a player does is measured against the league average. It’s always a work in progress, of course. 🙂
