I have developed a system to determine how many wins a player earned for his team. If an NBA team wins 40 games, the statistics can be broken down into individual wins. I have taken current NBA rosters and totalled up last year's wins along with rookie's estimated wins. * Note: Unrestricted free agents do not count toward's a team win total. For Example, Lamar Odom does not count towards the Lakers.

The Thunder made some improvement as the year went on and this week's draft will there will be more improvement. Although there is a lot of speculation on who they will take at #3, let's take a look at how successful the third and 25th picks have been.

As a math major, I'm always fascinated by numbers. I took this years NBA stats and have started tinkering around with them. One major stat stands out so far---offensive rebounds. If you compare offensive rebounds to the wins a team has, you will find that it produces a slightly negative correlation. Meaning, the MORE offensive rebounds a team has, the FEWER wins it will produce. The reason is this: teams with lower field goal percrentages lose more games and have more opportunities for offensive rebounds. When determining the value of a player through statisics, offensive rebounds can be very misleading.
