You all came here to read something exciting \u2013 I promise I will get to that point.\u00a0 First, though, I need to give you a brief background of how these weekly Wolves rankings will be determined.\u00a0 If you have no interest and want to just skip to the exciting stuff, scroll down to NBA POWERSCORE: TOP 5 WOLVES OF THE WEEK.<\/strong>\u00a0 If you are willing to suffer through a brief explanation this first week, I promise it will be worth your time. \u00a0Here it goes.<\/p>\n

Every viewer has his or her own perspective.\u00a0 Some people fall in love with flashy dunks, others with fancy passes, and then there are those who just love watching guys dominate a game \u2013 2016 Russell Westbrook, Finals LeBron James, anytime Michael Jordan \u2013 you get the point.\u00a0 Each fan has some opinion on what makes a player great.\u00a0 Comparatively, every fan can watch a team and form an opinion regarding their best players.\u00a0 In fact, most fans could rattle off a list of who they believe are the best players on their team, ranked in order, without much hesitation.\u00a0 I bet you are doing it right now.<\/p>\n

The best part?\u00a0 Everyone\u2019s list is different.<\/p>\n

All fans have their own perspective on how a good player should contribute to their team, but quite often the \u201ceye test\u201d can be misleading.\u00a0 Is a dunk really any better than a layup?\u00a0 They are both worth two points.\u00a0 Is a ferocious block sending the ball 10\u00a0rows into the stands of more value than a simple deflected shot? Probably not.\u00a0 Is an ankle breaking move by Kyrie Irving more important than Russell Westbrook\u2019s pure speed blowing past a defender?\u00a0 No \u2013 it all depends on the end result of each play. Many fans, however, fall in love with the fancy, exciting, and clutch plays \u2013 as they should, because that is half the fun of sports.\u00a0 Yet, these thrilling plays do not necessarily determine a player\u2019s value or contribution to winning the game.<\/p>\n

That is where NBA PowerScore<\/strong><\/a> comes in.<\/p>\n

Let me give a brief explanation.\u00a0 NBA PowerScore<\/strong> is a system I developed with the end goal to predict the outcome of NBA games.\u00a0 It does this by using advanced NBA statistics (much more than simply traditional points, rebounds, assists, etc.) to find the rating, or value, of every player in the NBA regardless of playing time. \u00a0The system then takes these individual player ratings and finds a team value \u2013 dubbed a \u201cPowerScore\u201d \u2013 which is entered into a formula along with other factors (recent team performance, strength of schedule, etc.) to determine each team\u2019s likelihood of winning a given game.<\/p>\n

If that made little to no sense to you \u2013 it is perfectly okay! <\/strong>\u00a0There are really three key points you need to know:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. NBA PowerScore<\/strong> correctly predicted the winner of 72.9% of NBA games in 2015-2016, and is surpassing that percentage with 81.25% so far this season. For those who may not know, these are startlingly accurate rates.\u00a0 I believe it can predict upwards of 75% correct for the year.<\/li>\n
  2. The key to the NBA PowerScore<\/strong> system is the player ratings it computes. If these were not accurate, the entire system would be flawed.\u00a0 So, trust me, the ratings are legitimate.<\/li>\n
  3. Here is a chart to help you understand the general meaning behind the PowerScore ratings<\/strong>:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
    Player\u2019s Value<\/strong><\/td>\nRating<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Super Star<\/td>\n> 80<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Star player<\/td>\n70 – 80<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Top 2 player on a playoff team<\/td>\n50 – 70<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Great<\/td>\n30 – 50<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Good<\/td>\n15 – 30<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Starter<\/td>\n5 – 15<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Solid<\/td>\n0 – 5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Should play on average team<\/td>\n> -20<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

    So now, back to talking about player rankings.\u00a0 While a typical viewer\u2019s opinion may be subject to bias of the \u201ceye test\u201d influenced by exciting plays or favorite players, NBA PowerScore\u2019s ratings are strictly based on actual statistics that each player produces.\u00a0 There is no bias involved, and every aspect of the system is based on fact.<\/p>\n

    Is it more fun to decide who\u2019s best based on how exciting they are to watch?\u00a0 Perhaps, but my guess is Thibs values fundamentals more than exciting plays. Therefore, starting today, I am going to use the system to find the value of each player on the Wolves for a given week and post it here on Howlin\u2019 T-Wolf<\/strong>. That way, if you are in an argument with your friend about who had the better performance last week \u2013 Wiggins or LaVine, Rubio or Dunn, KAT or Dieng \u2013 you can check this site for the answer.<\/p>\n

    Feel free to disagree \u2013 that is half the fun of sports! But remember that these ratings are based 100% on actual statistics, so I myself believe they are the most accurate.<\/p>\n

    Now, as promised, onto the good stuff that everyone came here for. Here are the top five rated players, via NBA PowerScore<\/strong>, for the first week (and a half) of the season:<\/p>\n

    NBA POWERSCORE: TOP 5 WOLVES OF THE WEEK <\/strong>(through the first four games)<\/p>\n

    Welcome to the first edition of NBA PowerScore: Top 5 Wolves of the Week. \u00a0This week’s edition will include the first week and a half of play only. \u00a0This means it will exclude Saturday night’s game against the OKC Thunder – because let’s be honest, no Wolves fan really wants to talk about it right now. \u00a0That game\u00a0will be a part of next week’s edition. \u00a0So, Minnesota fans, it is time to see how your Wolves have performed the first week (and a half) of the NBA season.<\/p>\n

    1.\u00a0<\/strong>Andrew Wiggins | PowerScore Rating: 47.7 | Classification: Great<\/strong><\/p>\n

    One thing about Wiggins is for sure \u2013 he knows how to score.\u00a0 The 24 PPG that Wiggins averaged through four games is impressive, and the 51.6% he is shot from the field is even more intriguing.\u00a0 However, his offense is not the only reason he rates so high.\u00a0 Wiggins is held his matchups to 18% below their average FG%.\u00a0 There is virtually no possibility of him maintaining this stat over the course of the season, as not even Kawhi Leonard or LeBron James have been able to do, but it certainly shows he has had a huge impact on both ends of the floor.\u00a0 Now if only Wiggins could make his free throws.<\/p>\n

    2.\u00a0<\/strong>Gorgui Dieng | PowerScore Rating: 37.9 | Classification: Great<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Fans often miss the contributions of big guys who spend the whole game battling down low in the post.\u00a0 Gorgui Dieng is one of those men.\u00a0 Flying under the radar so far in his young career, Dieng consistently puts in the work under the basket.\u00a0 Through four games, Dieng led the Wolves with 9.3 rebounds (3 offensive), 1.5 blocks, and 14 contested shots per game.\u00a0 He also had the highest plus\/minus on the team with a +12.3, and unlike many Wolves, he has found a way to make his free throws.\u00a0 If Jon Gruden did a Gruden Grinder award for the NBA, Gorgui Dieng would probably earn it frequently.<\/p>\n

    3.\u00a0<\/strong>Shabazz Muhammad | PowerScore Rating: 30.8 | Classification: Great<\/strong><\/p>\n

    I, personally, love NBA PowerScore for this very reason: guys who do not always get the minutes or respect they may deserve can get recognition for their actual contributions right here.\u00a0 Shabazz simply does a lot of things well \u2013 not great, but well.\u00a0 He shoots a solid FT%, grabs a lot of rebounds, and his true FG% is fourth on the team.\u00a0 He also achieved a Player Impact Estimate (PIE) of 11.9 which is top 5 on the team.\u00a0 Although he may get criticized for his defense, so far this year Shabazz has shown to be much more engaged on the defensive end.\u00a0 It may be a small sample size, but he held his opponents to more than 30% below their average FG% and gave\u00a0up less points to his opponent per 100 possessions than any player on the Wolves.<\/p>\n

    4. Karl-Anthony Towns | PowerScore Rating: 30.2 | Classification: Great<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Wolves Nation: do not freak out!\u00a0 Yes, KAT has only the fourth best rating on the Wolves through the first four games.\u00a0 This should not come as much of a surprise.\u00a0 He had the third worst defensive rating on the team (worst among starters) with a rating of 102.7 – meaning the Wolves give up 102.7 points per 100 possessions while he was on the court.\u00a0 KAT still managed to grab 2.8 offensive boards per game and score 19.8 PPG while showing an improved ability to step outside and hit the open jumper, but his defensive numbers had the biggest negative effect.\u00a0 Do not worry \u2013 if his defensive numbers turn around to look more like last year, KAT will soon find himself at the top of this list.<\/p>\n

    Side note:<\/em> KAT’s performance on Saturday night against the Thunder (one of the lone bright spots from the game) was his highest rated game so far and will be evident in next week’s edition.<\/p>\n

    5. Kris Dunn | PowerScore Rating: 19.8 | Classification: Good<\/strong><\/p>\n

    One aspect of Kris Dunn\u2019s game comes as no surprise \u2013 he can play defense.\u00a0 It is becoming more apparent that Dunn is the future of the Wolves’ perimeter defense in Thibs\u2019 system, and if he can find an offensive game he may be the future of the Wolves at the point.\u00a0 His aggressive nature has been a difference maker.\u00a0 Five steals against the Grizzlies contributed to his 4.7 steals per 100 possessions \u2013 top 10 in the NBA through four games.\u00a0 Dunn also had the second best net rating on the team at 18.7, trailing only Gorgui Dieng.\u00a0 And then there is my favorite stat I\u2019ve seen so far this year: In games started, Kris Dunn is seventh in the league in assists per 100 possessions at 10.5, trailing guys such as John Wall, James Harden, Russell Westbrook, and Rajon Rondo.\u00a0 <\/strong>Those are some pretty big names.<\/p>\n

    Honorable Mention: \u00a0<\/strong>I know many of you came here hoping to read about Zach LaVine, but he rated sixth at 17.2 through the first four games.\u00a0 However, if you take out his first game against the Grizzlies and only run the numbers on games 2-4, LaVine\u2019s rating increases dramatically to 52.3 putting him in the category of \u201ctop 2 player on a playoff team.\u201d\u00a0 Look for LaVine to make a push toward the top of the list in weeks to come.<\/p>\n
