We came up with a points system to HELP determine our post season awards. We value availability and efficiency which turns up in *total production". The amount of winning a player's team did should certainly count. Defense matters, although the standard popular metrics (steals and blocks) for defense rarely tell the whole story of how an individual player affects a team's defense. We like to use the Defensive Rating differential between the player's DEFRTG and his team's DEFRTG. Again, we used this table below to get data-informed but in the end, the decisions above were made using a combo of math and common sense.
