The points per 100 shots can be misleading. If the players in a position go 1 for 1, they would score 200 points per 100 shots.

Does it really go that way?

Let's take for example my latest match. (6765207)

I don't know how the free throws are considered in the calculations, but my SGs didn't shoot any during the whole game. They made total of 12 points with total of 15 FG attempts, which would translate into 80 point per 100 shots (12/15*100=80). However the "points per 100 shots" colums states that it would be 98.5 points.

If we compare that 98.5 of SGs to the 121.1 of PFs I fail to see why the big difference. My SGs shot 6/15 from the field (FTs 0/0) and my PFs shot 6/17 (FTs 3/4). Actually I fail to see why my PF "rating" would be higher than SG "rating" given that they shot worse from the field.

E: I checked from "weekly stats" that all my players had only played in one position each so that can't be the problem here.

The matchup ratings gives you and idea about how effective -in order to make points- could be a position in a determined game. So, they change from game to game even if the games are played with the same players.

Because there are probabilities the actual performance is related to the Matchup Ratings but is not the same.

They would help you to learn how your team works when played a against a determined team. For example, if youre using netrual ofensive tactics and you see that in every game your AP and P are getting 156, maybe, it will be better for you to try and Inner Focus in offensive game. There are several things you might learn, all of them related to the ability displayed by a certain position to make points. A more broadly view of your players contribution would be to compare your team califications. And a more broadly view of the performance of a specific player would be his Rating.

Sorry about my english.

How come points per 100 shots is "zero" for my centre?

Hahaha I'm pretty sure you know very well why that is, but another corpse has been raised from the dead. Thumbs up!
