by Dean Oliver
If you’re looking to analyze basketball team or player performance then Basketball On Paper is the place to start. You don’t need to have a strong stats background to read and understand Basketball On Paper, as Oliver assumes the reader has little to no statistics background.
Learn how to calculate and interpret various team and player performance statistics to better understand the game and players. Such statistics include possessions (the heart of all basketball analysis), offensive and defensive ratings for teams and players, individual player win-loss records, and much more.
Dean now works in the NBA, and if you have any doubts about the usefulness of this book in the analysis of basketball teams and players, just read Dean’s updated review of his own book at Amazon.com titled The Textbook for Getting into the NBA.
