NBA analyst Alberto De Roa of HoopsHype, our sister site, put together a new metric he dubbed global rating.
“(The metric) combines players’ and teams’ statistics to rank players according to their productivity on the court.”
It also factors in the number of contests a given player has been unavailable for in a season (for a more detailed breakdown, check this out).
For the 2022-23 NBA season so far, De Roa has not only used global rating to compare NBA players, but also how each draft class remaining in the league stacks up against its peers.
In the 2009 draft class, Boston veteran big man Blake Griffin checks in as the eighth-best player remaining in the league, behind (in order) Stephen Curry, DeMar DeRozan, Jrue Holiday, James Harden, Patty Mills, Wesley Matthews and Patrick Beverley.
It shook him up enough that his mother Brandy Cole also let the teacher in charge of the classroom know just what she thought about their reaction to the teasing. https://t.co/y0FrTXTdBv

The onetime Oklahoma standout checks in ahead of James Johnson and Taj Gibson, but is ranked the 321st-best player in the NBA this season at this late stage of his career.
