More power to the HSA

Hey Isaac,

Great job with the HSA stuff, it makes for very informative viewing.

I particularly like that players can get negative HSA rankings, like (for example) Burdon did for North against Centrals. Does this mean that players who get a negative HSA were better off staying on the bench and not checking in? And who has the worst HSA ranking for an individual game so far this year?

My other question is: how are the MVPs judged on the box scores kept on the site? It appears it's from the HSA ranking, if Gower getting the game MVP in the Forestville game is any guide.

There were at least two other players higher than Gower as the game MVP: Forman was clearly the best player on the court and nearly won it for Sturt by himself; and Dix was more than serviceable.

This is not meant to be a bitch, as I think the HSA stuff is cool and well worth doing: I'm just trying to work out whether it's really an MVP or actually an MEP: Most Efficient Player.

You're correct in that the MVP is automatically calculated based on HSA ranking. I've been meaning to add a note about this.

Obviously it's meant as a rough guide rather than anything too deep.

Still, it makes you wonder whether 17 points is more "valuable" than a block, a couple of extra assists and six steals. By HSA calculations, it's 17 vs 19.5. Someone has to hit those big shots, but someone else has to be snatching the ball at the other end for them to get the opportunity. All a bit of fun I guess.

It gives a good amount of recognition to those players who do more than just put points on the board.

Hoops SA, but in this context HSA is for the 'HSA score' determined when combining various statistics as outlined on the stats page. It is a basically a score assigned to each player to identify their effieciency on their stats.

HSA Rating = Hoops SA Rating. Nothing tricky about it!
