In case you didn't see my other post, I created a statistic which I call NOSE. I define the statistic thusly:

NOSE = REB + STL + CHG - TO - (FGA - FGM)

Essentially, then, this stat adds up all the times that a player gains possession of the ball for his team (REB, STL, CHG), and deducts from it all the times he lost possession of the ball for his team (TO, Missed Shot). The difference represents a snapshot of whether a player is adding or subtracting from the number of possessions his team has to work with, and shows the extent to which he makes that happen.

Why call it NOSE? It's short for "Nose for the Ball," which I think sums up this statistic perfectly. Also, it let's me say fun things, like, "Marcin Gortat has the biggest NOSE on the Phoenix Suns:"

Omaha suggested that the data would be more meaningful if we could compare players by position, so hit the jump and I'll have numbers for just exactly that. All numbers here are Per 36 minutes played, for better or worse.

First, a convenient listing of this stat for your hometown heroes:

Centers

The average NOSE ranking for a center is 4.43. You'll see that Marcin scores a bit above average, while Robin scores waaaaaay below average in this metric.

Power Forwards

The average NOSE for a PF is 1.85. Markieff Morris was the Suns highest rated PF at 1.0, followed closely by Channing. Hakim Warrick, meanwhile, is so poor for this position as to be a statistical outlier.

Small Forwards

The average NOSE for a Small Forward is -1.45. This one really surprised me: Josh Childress ranks highest at this position in NOSE. Now if only he was good at offense, or defense!

Shooting Guard

The average NOSE for shooting guards is -3.67. If I had listed Jared Dudley here, he would be 12th on the list. Something that gives me great joy - I found a statistic at which Kobe Bryant ranks worst. :-)

Point Guard

The average NOSE for point guards is -4.89. Ronnie Price rates highly in this metric, which confirms what my eyes tell me, he doesn't hurt his teammates out there. He also doesn't help them much, unfortunately. Sebastian Telfair is a black hole for possessions.
