A Year For the Ages: 35.0
Runaway MVP Candidate: 30.0
Strong MVP Candidate: 27.5
Weak MVP Candidate: 25.0
Bona fide All-Star: 22.5
Borderline All-Star: 20.0
Solid 2nd option: 18.0
3rd Banana: 16.5
Pretty good player: 15.0
In the rotation: 13.0
Scrounging for minutes: 11.0

Out of curiosity, do you have the ability to easily generate the PER for conference only games? Granted, it's a smaller data set, but the argument could be made that the conference season is more important to our success than the non-conference.

I am guessing that Neese/Key PER will be even higher, with additional drop off from Barnes.

Year over year it's good to see improvement from Kessinger.

Yeah, I did that in the past. I have that data so provided my old ass reminds myself tonight, it ain't gonna be pretty. It's basically going to be Key, then a significant drop and then the pack.
