97/98 End Season Advanced rankings.

[Soundwave]

It's me again.  I'm back to give you the breakdown of who the best players were this season according to the advanced stats.  Due to being busy at work and just being generally awesome (awesome ain't easy) I am going to be doing this in a few separate parts.  So please bear with me.  Basically what I did was chart the advanced stats of all the players in the league and I will disqualify players who play less than 10 minutes per game.  I will also disqualify guys who have only played a handful of games.  So let us begin,

PER

Here are the top 25 players in the league according to PER:

1 Shawn Kemp 38.4
2 Shaquille O'Neal 37.4
3 Anfernee Hardaway 36.3
4 Alonzo Mourning 34.8
5 Stacey Augmon 34.0
6 Tom Gugliotta 30.5
7 Cedric Ceballos 30.0
8 Chris Webber 28.9
9 Latrell Sprewell 28.2
10 Steve Smith 27.2
11 David Robinson 27.1
12 Gary Payton 26.4
13 Glen Rice 25.9
14 Anthony Peeler 25.3
15 Tim Duncan 25.3
16 Shawn Bradley 25.3
17 Glenn Robinson 24.3
18 Jerry Stackhouse 24.1
19 Larry Johnson 24.1
20 Jason Kidd 23.3
21 Robert Pack 23.3
22 Hakeem Olajuwon 23.1
23 Eddie Jones 22.8
24 Cliff Robinson 22.7
25 Kevin Johnson 22.6


SHOCKING!!!!!!!!!!
Once again Kemp is God.  Should this really be a surprise?  But Shaq is hot on his tail this season, and the big guy will soon be the benchmark for the rest of the league.  Penny continues to put up number that is unattainable for any other human Point Guard.  Also scary to see Duncan so high already.

To be continued........

- No Surprise that Augmon has had to do all the work
-15th place is really very high for a rookie (maybe too high)
-Have a feeling Rider will slip with Gugs next to him.
-Joe Smith's name has popped up quite a bit while sifting through the advanced stats
- I don't recall Eddie Jones being such a high usage player in the past.

- Who the hell is Arvydys Sabonis and why does his name keep popping up?  I kid, I kid.

You missed Gheorghe Muresan too. Check out his playoffs stats. Beastly.
