Why? —Westbrook gets a lot of cheap rebounds; uncontested DREBs don't have much value. —Player tracking data has him as a poor on-ball defender; he's rarely the closest defender to the shooter. —(Technical) BPM contains a weird nonlinear term that artificially inflates his value. — PolitiTweet.org

Initial verdict seems to be that Westbrook is pretty badly overrated by some other advanced stats. This is our new +/- stat (tentatively called RAPTOR) on the left versus Box Plus/Minus (BPM) on the right. RAPTOR doesn't yet incorporate any on/off-court data; that's coming later. https://t.co/6F6xqJ3OP4 — PolitiTweet.org

@tylercowen Yeah, it looks like we're gonna be more correlated with how the league values players, which makes sense since I'd imagine teams are already using most of this data. — PolitiTweet.org
