Check out Rosenbaum's article:

FYI, he seems like a very decent guy...actually replied back to a lowly grad student who asked for his advice :)

Thanks for posting this v9. I'll read it with great interest. Plus I'm sick to f***ing death of my thesis at the moment.

We examine how well several player productivity metrics, including (a) John Hollinger’s Player Efficiency Rating, (b) Wages of Wins Wins Produced, and (c) the NBA Efficiency metric, do in predicting future team wins and future player productivity (the latter as measured by plus/minus statistics).

No cap ratings? I’m crushed.

Don't worry, cap, you'll get yours one day.
