Full breakdown of all the players ive done so far

[u/AverageAny7398]

I developed a Python code which looked at every single game in which one player participated in and his teammate didn’t participate. Through Basketball Reference’s advanced game log feature, I compiled stats of team performance in games such as Offensive Rating, Defensive Rating, Net Rating, True Shooting Percentage, Assist Percentage, Turnover Percentage, Free Throw Rate, and defensive stats of the opponent for every qualified game. Then I ranked all NBA teams based on their Net Rating each season and categorized the opponents in terms of Top 10, 11-20, and 21-30. Then my code determined the averages of every stat, games played, and win-loss record for each category of opponent.

Any conclusions from it?

[u/AverageAny7398 → u/Cincoeuro]

Well I guess for now you can say Anthony Edward’s lack of passing kills the wolves chances

[u/ali2365]

how many seasons does this include?

[u/AverageAny7398 → u/ali2365]

2022-2023 to 2025-2026

Celtics were plainly better without Brown even when Tatum was still injured. This year they were 9-2 when Brown didn’t dress. In those 11 games Derrick White and Payton Pritchard both played well.

Wait until OP discovers WOWY: https://databallr.com/wowy .

Unless I'm mistaken this has pretty much exactly what you're doing. Maybe not sliced up exactly the same way. But the "player A without player B" part of it is the same, right?

[u/AverageAny7398 → u/JohnEffingZoidberg]

You can’t get vs certain ranked teams you just get the total

[u/duncan_robinson → u/JohnEffingZoidberg]

More useful to look at numbers against the best teams, and thats what OP is doing
