Comments

Just as I was nervous about overthrowing the 1957 team, I am concerned here. I cannot let that or the knowledge that the 1982 could actually use the simulator in future matchups deter me here. The thing that I think makes the most sense is a breakdown of positions and many points those guys are worth.

That requires a simple percentage index calculation, but I am not going to use Hollinger’s Formula from ESPN or I would be crunching numbers for awhile. I am just going to do this: Points are worth one point each. Rebounds, Blocks, Steals, and Assists are worth two each. If I have statistical limitations then I will cut out that stat entirely. So immediately I lose blocks, steals, and assists, but cause those were recorded in the final 1968 stat book.
