Who's been dying to see those PORPAG numbers?

[This is not so much a real post as a blockquote/bulletpoint/numbers dump.  This is what you get for showing an interest in my rigged-up statistical inventions.  Appropriate given that SparanDan helped invent PORPAG.]

Original post on Points Over Replacement Per Adjusted Game (PORPAG) is here.  Big picture concept/caveats:

• As a refresher, this stat is an attempt to measure the marginal points per game a player contributes to his team on offense above what a "replacement-level" player would provide.
• Major caveats: (1) Basketball is a team, not an individual, sport and (2) this stat tells you nothing whatsoever about defense.

Technical stuff:

• Pace factor is set at 64 possession/game--roughly the average through the first half of Big Ten play.
• I left the "replacement-level" offensive rating at 88.0.
• This stat is meant to measure cumulative, rather than average, offensive impact.  So missing time due to injury hurts you (Evan Turner).
• This is conference-only data.  The conference schedule is, of course, unbalanced.
  
• The table below includes all players who've played at least 40.0% of their teams' minutes in conference play.
• Data pulled from StatSheet.com.  The Minute% numbers look a little glitchy for players that have missed time due to injury/etc.  I've attempted to correct any obvious errors.

Numbers after the jump:

Observations:

• My major complaint (to myself) about PORPAG is that it over-rewards 3-point shooting.  Hoffarber and Diebler both look out of place.
• Remove those two guys, and the top ten players on the list look like a pretty solid set of candidates for first- and second-team all-conference honors: Hummel, Sims, Shurna, McCamey, Moore, Turner, Lucas, Green, Battle, Harris.  No obvious candidates to jump into the top ten based on defensive performance.
  
• Robbie Hummel is your leader at the turn for conference player of the year.  Has improved almost all his offensive numbers over last season, despite taking a larger role in the offense.
• Evan Turner will likely climb toward/to the top as he picks up more minutes played down the stretch, though.
• DeShawn Sims' numbers are pretty amazing for a guy playing alone inside amongst a group of teammates who can't hit 3-pointers.
• John Shurna's numbers are even more impressive in light of how hard Northwestern's schedule has been to date.
• Demetri McCamey's finally playing up to his potential, although he's still been somewhat up and down (3 games in single digits scoring).
• If you factor in defense, you can make an argument that, statistically speaking, Draymond Green (#2 in the league in DefReb%) has actually been MSU's most valuable player to date.  Kalin Lucas has been pretty good, too: right on pace with his conference-only PORPAG figure of 3.10 from last season (which was perhaps a bit of a down year for offensive stars).
• Bottom 6 includes 2 each from Iowa, Penn State, and Indiana.
