Real Player Ratings for NBA Players Team by Team, Final 2009-10 Ratings

Whoops, missed a dunk. This important Report should have been posted on about July 10. These are the final 2009-10 Real Player Ratings (RPR) by team. Back in July this was mistakenly skipped. Only the overall League-Wide RPRs were shown where the players are ranked without regard to team. True, the RPRs were already shown by team individually (which must be why my brain forgot to post this). The problem is, the individual team postings have a lot more in them than just the RPRs by team. Between that and all the extra clicking and loading it would take, it would be a pain in the neck to compare teams' RPRs using those individual team postings compared with doing so using one Report. The bottom line is that this is one of the most important posts of the year and is certainly far better a little late than never.

AVERAGE RATINGS BY POSITION
Not all positions are created equal. These are the average ratings by position among all NBA players who play 300 minutes or more. There are very few small forwards and shooting guards who are superstars. Most (but definitely not all) superstars are players who can play point guard, power forward, or center.

Point Guard .750
Shooting Guard .640
Small Forward .640
Power Forward .720
Center .750
All Positions / All Players (NBA Overall Average) .700

PLAYOFF GRADE PLAYERS
Playoff Grade Players have ratings of .560 and higher. Players with ratings below .560 should not play in the playoffs unless the team is forced to play them so that they have two players at a position and/or so that the team has at least eight players playing in the playoffs and/or because the coach is absolutely certain the low rating player will play better in the playoffs than he did in the regular season.

REGULAR SEASON STARTING PLAYERS
All starters on all teams should have ratings of .575 and higher. If a team has no player at a position with at least a .575 rating, then it is extremely deficient at that position due to injuries or due to management incompetence.

THE ALL IMPORTANT, AWARD WINNING REAL PLAYER RATINGS USER GUIDE
