I still think Amile is their most valuable player and probably won't change my opinion until someone overtakes him in the metrics. He's not flashy or a lottery pick but I think he's impacting game scores in ways that are boring and not obvious. That's mostly my EYE TEST take on it. His BPM history seems to support that, although BPM takes forever to converge. However,
Year | Minutes | BPM | BPM Rank |
2013 | 405 | 6.2 | 6 |
2014 | 796 | 10.0 | 1 |
2015 | 831 | 9.5 | 5 |
2016 | 273 | 10.3 | 1 |
2017 | 310 | 13.5 | 1 |
we can probably spitball guesstimate what his BPM would be in a good prediction model that incorporates career arc, past performance, etc. Really feels like ~10.0+, although maybe I'm wrong and a model would regress him back to the pack more. I just can't imagine it's < 10 though given the data, his experience, and that his value seems to come from things that are easily repeatable and difficult to stop (positioning, effort, floor awareness).
